Hollywood actress and icon Bette Midler hopped on Twitter to defend Janet Jackson and call out Justin Timberlake after his groveling apology to his wife, Jessica Biel.
“#JustinTimberlake publicly apologized to his wife for holding hands with another actress after having too much to drink, but sez nothing else happened. Who cares? He held another woman’s hand, BFD. So when is Janet Jackson’s boob gonna get an apology? #JusticeForJanet” she tweeted.
Justin issued an apology last week after he was caught canoodling with his Palmer costar, Alisha Wainwright.
Justin blamed his actions on the alcohol, and issued an apology to Biel, but did not extend an apology to Alisha – but as Bette remembers, this is not the first time that Justin has thrown a Black woman under the bus.
During the Super Bowl XXVIII Halftime Show in 2004, Justin grabbed the right side of Janet’s bustier top, ripping a piece off, and exposing her pierced nipple to millions of Americans on live television. Janet was blamed and ostracized by the media and the industry while Justin’s career remained unaffected.
We agree that Justin should also publicly apologize to Janet.
