One of my love muffins, Pretty Wings, sent me this video link of Janet Jackson and Tyler Perry talking live with CBS’Good Day about their new movie and all was well until Mark (one of the show’s anchors) brought up the infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’.

I love the way that the highly intellectual Tyler Perry threw a curve ball in to those comments. Some people just can’t stand to see some one fall from grace and get back up. Keep getting it Janet! New CD’s, new man, new money!

i know he felt stupid when she didn’t answer. That was tacky of him to bring that up. The fact that he kept on talking about it afterwards was what really made him look all kinds of stupid.

So funny how Justin gets no backlash for pulling the darn thing off..yet he is the golden boys. Shake the haters off Janet, you are still the baddest chick in the game!!!!

That was great. Tyler Perry gets mad props for coming to her defense. That was the sign of a gentleman. The anchor was trying to get his ratings and Janet was not giving it up. He acted like CBS gave him the fine.

That was Great. Janet and Tyler did a great job. Janet was very well with not even acknowledging the answer and Tyler did a great job of saying “this interview is about the movie” which is true. Superbowl incident happen years ago. But I do find it funny that the female anchor was trying to say if u have any complaints to address them with management. That was a tacky news cast. It’s so funny how people want to get fame by downtalking others with talent and business skills to stay in the “game”. You know this news team knew that they were get some much wanted publicity as the team that gave Janet a hard time.

It just goes to show how stupid some people are becoming. Then they had the nerve to keep talking about like something was going to change. Now I wonder would they have drill Justin Timberlake like that even thougt he doesn’t desire it either. All three anchors should be suspended or fired.

The actions of the news anchors were beyond unprofessional. The wardrobe malfunction happened over three years ago, I can’t believe the way they treated Janet. Sometimes I just wish she would forget she’s a lady and curse some bitches out!

We should file a complaint against this anchor. He was very tasteless and very rude about it. They clearly did not come on the show to talk about that. He really kept pushing the issue when he shouldn’t have even brought it up. I have a link to send a complaint to the newsroom, please send a complaint on his rude a**

That was so tasteless and rude. This incident was like how long ago and you’re still harping about it. The interview had nothing to do with that. I’m happy that Tyler showed class while Janet was silent and calm. I would have cussed him out. Let’s not find any skeletons in your closet. Everyone acts like they’re so perfect. Little prick. It was really annoying when they stated where to send the complaint to. A$$hole.

Send your protest email to mornings@kovr.com. I just did. Each time some BS like this happens, we have to immediately send them a message instead of just talking about it. Believe me, they take note when the phone calls and emails pour in. They’ll keep doing it if they don’t think people care.

I’m happy to hear they issued a statement. I actually e-mailed in a complaint as well so i’m glad that it wasn’t all in vein. I live about 45 minutes from sacramento and see their program all the time, but after all that happened I stopped watching. I’m tired of disrespectful people. They think it’s funny to bully people, but all they end up doing is looking exactly what they are…. JACKASSES!

I think the interview was hysterical!! Maybe Janet should have issued an apology after the “incident” instead of sitting up on her Jackson pedistal and acting like nothing happened. Children were at that game and saw that, it was completely ridiculous!! Where do I send my thanks to Mr. Allen?

I like how Tyler stepped in and handled it… they are retarded were they news anchors in Boise Idaho? No wonder… Idaho has like no black people so they don’t know how to act around black celebrities lol
