Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake: BFFs?
That's apparently the case, according to Jackson herself. Despite the pair's infamous controversy, Jackson says the two "have moved on" and are "very good friends" today.
Janet Jackson on her relationship with Justin Timberlake
You'll remember Jackson and Timberlake co-headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2004. The live performance turned controversial when Justin exposed one of Janet's breasts, in an apparent wardrobe malfunction.
Now, however, Jackson wants it known that she and Timberlake are on good terms. In her new TV special Janet, the singer shared her thoughts on the scandal and JT.
Jackson said she and Timberlake are "very good friends" and "always" will be. She added: "We spoke just a few days ago. He and I have moved on, and it's time for everyone else to do the same."
Reflecting on the whole scandal, Janet said: "Honestly, this whole thing was blown way out of proportion.
"And, of course, it was an accident that should not have happened, but everyone is looking for someone to blame and that's got to stop."
Few people know these things...
Now 55, Jackson was essentially blacklisted in Hollywood after the Super Bowl moment, a serious controversy at the time.
In retrospect, many believe Jackson was treated unfairly while Timberlake escaped the scandal unscathed.
The incident was one of several considered in recent critiques of sexism in the media.
