It's been exactly 10 years since nipplegate, but don't ever expect Janet Jackson to receive another invite to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show.
TMZ Sports reached out to the NFL to discuss possible acts at Super Bowl XLIX in Arizona next year, and they issued the following statement: "As for potential acts - we have only ruled out Janet Jackson." This news is tragic. I'm absolutely appalled, and the sad thing is, their ratings would have shot through the roof if they DID ask her back to perform again.
Clearly, this blacklisting does not include Justin Timberlake and it should. It was HIS HAND that exposed the nipple! Many fans share the same views of how unfair it was that Janet was the only one to receive ALL the flack. Her career has never recovered from it (her videos were banned from MTV and radio stations blacklisted her), whereas JT walked away scot-free, totally unscathed and suffered no repercussions to his career whatsoever.
