Janet Jackson breaks silence on Super Bowl, says she's 'good friends' with Justin Timberlake

Revelations from Janet Jackson keep coming.

Part 2 of "Janet Jackson.," the two-night, four-part documentary executive produced by Jackson and her brother Randy, premiered Saturday night and focused on the child molestation allegations against brother Michael (“Guilty by association,” she says she felt) and the scandalous Super Bowl halftime show in 2004 with Justin Timberlake.

In "Janet Jackson.," she reveals Timberlake invited her to perform with him when he headlined the 2018 Super Bowl, but maintains her decision to say "no" had nothing to do with Timberlake.

When asked if she'd like to do the show, Janet Jackson says "not really," noting "we have history with CBS."

She adds: "When I think about it, would it be nice to be able to perform? Yes. You know, our family, we love entertaining. But on the flip side of it, it’s drudging up the past, reliving something that happened over 10 years ago."

Of the continued discourse surrounding the Super Bowl scandal, Jackson says the "whole thing was blown way out of proportion."

"It was an accident that should not have happened but everyone is looking for someone to blame and that’s got to stop," she added. "Justin and I are very good friends and we will always be very good friends. We spoke just a few days ago. He and I have moved on and it’s time for everyone else to do the same."

Timberlake has faced reignited backlash over the past year, thanks in part to another recent documentary about Jackson, which delved into the controversy she faced after Timberlake exposed Jackson's nipple during their halftime show, and multiple documentaries about Britney Spears, which mentioned his public mishandling of their split and remarks about their sex life. Timberlake apologized to both women in a lengthy social media statement last February.

Jackson and Timberlake spoke in the aftermath of the show, and Timberlake wondered if he should make a public statement, Jackson said. She told him she didn't want "any drama" for him: "They're aiming all of this at me."

Of the controversy she faced, Jackson says "something like that can take its toll on you emotionally," and that she focused on work, friends and family in the aftermath.

"And that was enough for me to pull through," she adds. "When you have everyone whispering about you and the majority of it is not favorable, that could pull you to a different place."

Michael Jackson allegations cost Janet Jackson a lucrative deal with Coca-Cola: 'Guilty by association'

During Part 1 of the documentary, Jackson opened up about how her last name “opened a lot of doors," but also brought about "a great deal of scrutiny."

She delves further into what it meant to share the Jackson family name in Part 2, notably what she went through after child molestation allegations arose against Michael Jackson.

One way her career was damaged: The allegations lost her a "mega-million dollar" deal with Coca-Cola, she says. Jackson recalled the company approaching her "since my brothers are with Pepsi," but the brand reversed course and said "no, thank you" after the headlines began rolling out.

Jackson notes in Part 2 that "of course" the allegations affected her life, but she "never doubted him."

She adds: "My brother would never do something like that. But I'm still guilty by association. That's what they call it, right? … I know my brother. He didn’t have that in him."
