Justin Timberlake Pushed For Janet Jackson "Wardrobe Malfunction" To OutDo Britney Spear's VMA Kiss
IT STARTED WITH A KISS
Janet Jackson's former stylist, Wayne Scot Lukas, told Page Six that Justin Timberlake pushed for the infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" in an attempt to outdo the iconic kiss between Britney Spears, Madonna, and Xtina at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. I am sure everyone remembers the look on Justin's face when the kiss happened, LOL.

JT reached over, snatch off Janet's right breast cup, and revealed her beautiful Black breast and nipple jewelry to over 11 million people. As Janet covered herself in faux shock, Justin just stood there probably thinking, "Top that, Britney!"
"I DON'T WANNA BE INVOLVED IN A STUNT, THAT'S NOT MY STYLE"
There was immediate backlash to what Justin Timberlake labeled a "wardrobe malfunction." Lukas said, "I wouldn't call it a wardrobe malfunction in a million years. It was the most functioning wardrobe in history. As a stylist, it did what it was intended to do."
Justin immediately distanced himself from Janet Jackson and told ET The Insider, <
