Janet Jackson’s Former Fashion Designer Claims Infamous 2004 Super Bowl Breast Exposure With Justin Timberlake Was Planned, Not A Wardrobe Malfunction

#JanetJackson’s longtime fashion designer is revisiting her infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime show with #JustinTimberlake, claiming the controversial breast exposure was never actually a wardrobe malfunction.

During an appearance on TMZ Live, Wayne Scot Lukas alleged that Janet’s outfit worked exactly as planned. According to the designer, the original idea involved revealing Janet’s backside, but the team switched things up just days before the performance to make the moment more shocking. He claims the cameras were supposed to cut away and the screen was supposed to go black immediately after Justin exposed Janet’s breast, but producers failed to make the switch.

Wayne also claims the fallout seriously damaged his career and that Justin never apologized to him. While he says he no longer needs an apology, he hopes JT finally shares what really happened in his upcoming four-part Apple TV+ docuseries, expected in December. The designer says he wasn’t invited to participate in the project, despite his involvement in the performance. Whether Justin directly addresses Wayne’s allegations in the upcoming documentary remains to be seen.
