In 2004, during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, Justin Timberlake intentionally tore away part of Janet Jackson’s costume and exposed her right breast during their performance of “Rock Your Body.” Jackson noted afterwards that her red lace bra was supposed to remain intact during the performance; however, the damage was done. While Timberlake went on to have a successful solo career, Jackson wasn’t so lucky. The fiasco resulted in a blacklisting of her music across some American radio networks and her career never recovered.
