Gossip news outlets and early morning talk shows had a field day discussing the Jackson scandal, which they dubbed “Nipplegate,” and the negative publicity briefly affected Jackson’s career for a few years. MTV, who produced Jackson’s show, was blacklisted from future Super Bowls, causing the popular music video channel to in turn blacklist Jackson from their airwaves. The backlash was immediate and immense, with CBS receiving hundreds of thousands of complaints from its viewers over the “wardrobe malfunction,” costing the station over $500,000. At the very end of the song, JT appeared to pull off a piece of Jackson’s costume as part of the choreography but accidentally snagged her bra as well, exposing her bare chest (and a piece of nipple jewelry) to 89 million viewers on live national television. For her last song, she sang “Rock Your Body,” a hit track in collaboration with Justin Timberlake. It was 2004, and Janet Jackson was performing the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show.

Known commonly as the (dreaded) nip-slip, these incidents occur when an unsecured boob escapes from its shirt or dress and reveals an unsuspecting areola to the world, unbeknownst to its owner. We’ve all had a strapless dress or low-cut top incident like this. You think you’re handling the situation when your friend suddenly pulls you to the side of the room and tells you- oh, no- your dress is a little too low and you’ve been flashing the whole room! After nearly dying of embarrassment, you retreat to an isolated barstool to sit sadly, drink in hand, while the rest of your friends joyfully dance the night away. But when you hit the bar, disaster strikes.įirst, you have a close call during “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” Then you start to sweat from dancing too hard, and you can’t go two seconds without having to do the strapless-dress-adjusting-shimmy.

Dinner isn’t bad either- just a little adjusting needed, nothing major.

You hop out of the Uber and your dress slips down a little, but no biggie! You yank the neckline up and quickly forget about it. Remember your cousin’s wedding when you missed the bouquet toss because you were too busy making sure your boobs weren’t falling out of your dress? Or that other time- wait, this dress is 40% off? That settles it- you’re buying it! And this dress’ neckline seems more secure than the last dresses. Sure, it’s the perfect dress, and you’ve been shopping for hours searching for something to wear to your best friend’s birthday party, but you can’t help but remember the countless bad experiences you’ve had with strapless dresses. It hugs your curves in all the right places, and you already know what shoes you’d wear with it. You’re standing in front of a dressing room mirror wearing the cutest summer clubbing dress you’ve ever seen.
