Tom Brady enjoyed Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction

Tom Brady, the seven-time NFL champion, has come under fire for his recent comments about Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl halftime show wardrobe malfunction in 2004.

The retired quarterback sparked outrage during Monday’s episode of his “Let’s Go!”

podcast when he referred to the scandal as a good thing for the NFL.

Brady said that it was a good thing because everyone got to talk about it, and it was more publicity for halftime shows.

He also questioned whether any publicity was bad publicity.

These remarks have been met with criticism from people on social media who believe that Brady was insensitive to everything Jackson went through after the nip-slip incident.

Many people took to Twitter to express their disappointment with Brady’s comments.

One critic tweeted that Tom Brady thinks everything was okay because all publicity is good publicity, but Janet Jackson faced public humiliation and outright misogynoir resulting in her being blacklisted by the former CEO of CBS.

Another person wrote that Brady’s comment was too superficial and shallow, and he does not understand the amount of s–t she went through after that backlash.

A third person added that a black woman’s career and reputation are damaged, and she was taunted for a number of years by the mainstream media, but it was good for the NFL.

The comments by Brady came almost two decades after the infamous “Nipplegate” incident at Super Bowl XXXVIII.

During the halftime show, Justin Timberlake accidentally tore off part of Janet Jackson’s top, exposing her breast to millions of viewers.

This led to widespread outrage, and both artists faced severe backlash from the media and the general public.

However, Jackson and Timberlake seem to have moved on from the incident, and they are now said to be good friends.

In February 2021, Timberlake issued a public apology to Jackson and his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears.

He wrote on Instagram that he specifically wanted to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually because he cares for and respects these women, and he knows he failed.

He also said that everyone involved deserved better, and he wanted to be part of a larger conversation and grow from the experience.

Jackson has also spoken about the incident in her Lifetime/A&E documentary and said that it was an accident that should not have happened, but everyone is looking for someone to blame, and that’s got to stop.

She also added that Justin and she are very good friends, and they will always be very good friends.

Tom Brady’s comments have sparked a conversation on social media about misogyny and racism.

Many people feel that his remarks were insensitive and dismissive of the abuse that Janet Jackson faced after the incident.

While others argue that his comments were taken out of context, and he was merely expressing his opinion.

However, it is essential to remember that words can have a significant impact, and it is important to be mindful of what we say, especially when discussing sensitive topics like racism and misogyny.

It is unclear if Tom Brady will issue an apology for his recent remarks, but many people hope that he will take this opportunity to educate himself on the issues facing marginalized communities and use his platform to promote equality and justice.

The incident reminds us that we have a long way to go in terms of addressing systemic racism and misogyny in our society.
