Justin Timberlake is said to be speaking out in a new documentary about Janet Jackson.
Janet Jackson (55) and Justin Timberlake (40) are reportedly working together again. 18 years after her “nipple gate” at the Super Bowl halftime show, Timberlake is set to appear in the two-part documentary about Jackson, like “Page Six” learned from production circles.
Speaking of the Lifetime/A&E documentary, which premieres Friday, the source said: “Justin is in. I’ve been told he’s going to be in the documentary. It’s like this big secret. He’s the surprise, just like that Super Bowl.”
What happened after the “Nipple Gate”?
When Jackson played the concert at the halftime show in 2004, she brought Timberlake onto the stage as a surprise guest. The two ended the performance with “a mistake”: Timberlake ripped off part of Jackson’s shirt and bared her chest while singing the lyrics “I’ll have you naked by the end of this song”. His solo career took off after that, while Jackson’s suffered greatly from the incident.
Timberlake reportedly invited Jackson to perform with him again at the Super Bowl in 2018, but that never happened. As a teaser of the documentary suggeststhe event and its consequences are discussed – apparently also with the help of Timberlake.
