The "All For You" singer's revelation comes after her infamous wardrobe malfunction during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show with Justin Timberlake. In that incident, Timberlake ripped off a piece of Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast.
Following the Super Bowl scandal, Jackson faced severe backlash, including being blacklisted by major networks like CBS and MTV. Jackson has since expressed her disappointment over Timberlake's lack of accountability for his role in the incident.
