This afternoon I was watching Access Hollywood (yes, it is true, I have no life) anyway... Acess Hollywood had two tapes. One was the final rehearsal before the Superbowl incident and the other was a video seconds after the incident happened. Both videos back Janet's version of the story. The rehearsal video shows that she and Justin had not rehearsed the bra pull. At the end of the song they both end in a pose with Justin's arm straight in the air. Janet had said that she changed the choreography after that final rehearsal. The second video shows her going down a first flight of steps (under the stage) after the incident. Security people and others are rushing towards her and she is bent over with a deeply pained expression on her face holding her hands over the exposed breast. As she goes down a second short flight of steps Janet appears to be crying and it is obvious that something has gone greatly awry.

My question is that if Access Hollywood has these tapes, why have the major media outlets not shown them? Could it be that they might have to admit that there was an accident? Or is it much more important and newsworthy to show Janet's tit ad nauseaum? Just asking....

Michael/Cleoharvey:

I tape Access Hollywood every night, so I don't have a life either. :-)

Are these tapes new? I thought they had already showed rehearsal footage, and footage of Janet after the malfunction before.

I think that a lot of the details in this situation become a bit muddled because the bra pull was added after the taped dress rehearsal before the executives. So you have Justin and Janet basicially doing something without clearing it first. So that might inspire doubt in some minds.

After the incident happened, there was also talk that there was a secret rehearsal that did include the bra pull. Whether this is true or not, I have no idea. Then Janet's breast had a design on it, which might have made some think it was meant to be shown. So again, it might seem to some as if there was some explosure planned, just not as much as what ultimately happened.

Ultimately, I think Janet has suffered enough and people should move on. But as far as the media admitting it might have been an accident, at this point, I don't know if it will make a difference. Its like that one move set off a chain reaction that have people closely examining every thing that is broadcast. I just read that Howard Stern wants the FCC investigate Oprah because of one of the shows she recently broadcast.

I HAVE NOT SEEN THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPES.BUT, MY PERCEPTION OF THE PICTURES THAT WERE SHOWN INITIALLY WERE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I SAW THE EXPRESSION ON HER FACE, IT LOOKED TO ME AS IF SHE WAS IN SHOCK. IT DID NOT LOOK FAKE !! I KNOW JANET IS SEXY AND HAS NO QUARRLES ABOUT SHOWING HER SEX APPEAL. JANET IS NOT TRASH !! I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE SHE WOULD INTENTIONALLY SHOW HER BREAST KNOWING HER NIECES AND NEPHEWS AND OTHER CHILDREN WERE WATCHING THE SUPERBOWL. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE MAY SEE IT DIFFERENTLY.
