    I always assumed it was planned , since she was wearing a sun-shaped cover underneath. Why else would you wear one?

    It sucks that the pearl-clutching media ostracized her so much.

    Weird, I don’t remember it that way at all.

    Janets career wasn’t doing too well before the boob reveal. And the stunt seemed highly planned as a way to create a bit of buzz.

    It just didn’t turn out the way they wanted.

    Buuut that’s just how I remember it. Very typical Hollywood shenanigans.
