I was shocked when I saw the news today.
I couldn't believe it. Dumbfounded, actually.
And why? Because you think that it doesn't
do Justin any good to speak about this?
He coined the phrase wardrobe malfunction, which blamed it on me.
So you have to understand,
my mother's Bible study group was watching the show.
And they're all excited to see Wayne's big project.
And then Justin goes, it's just a little wardrobe malfunction.
We want to give you something to talk about.
He never kind of made up with any of us.
We all lost a lot of work.
We lost, I had, you know, morals clauses in my contracts.
I was losing jobs.
And I just had to stay quiet in support of my friend, Janet.
And I did.
Is it possible, Wayne, that.
He wants to put forth a heartfelt apology to Janet,
to you, to the rest of her team.
No, because remember, when I read the news about this documentary,
nobody asked me to be in it.
Nobody asked me to speak about it.
I'm the only one who really knows what happened
because I designed the outfit.
I made the outfit.
I changed the outfit two days before the actual production.
And I know all the stories and all the secrets.
And I know where the bodies are buried.
I will say this. It is the most functioning wardrobe in history.
It did exactly what it's
supposed to do. The biggest mistake
was the producers at MTV did not cut to black when
they were supposed to. And they kind of left Janet out hanging.
So the people I would blame
are the MTV producers. What you seem to be saying
is this was intentional and that MTV screwed up
by not cutting away fast enough. Yes, it was supposed.
It was supposed to be Happy Naked by the end of this song,
rip, grab, cut to black fireworks.
And it was ripped. She didn't grab.
They didn't cut to black because they were partying in the van.
And the fireworks came later.
And Janet just stood there with her bouncing breast.
Allegedly. Allegedly. Right.
We don't know what was happening in the van. I get that's your claim.
But all I know is that Janet was supposed to come back down under
the stage to meet me, to wrap her up in clothes.
And she never came back down. She disappeared. Was the idea.
That her breasts would be exposed, presumably,
to the audience at the Super Bowl, but not on television.
Not even to the audience because
when the stage cuts to black, it cuts to black.
It was supposed to be a tease towards something coming off,
and then she covered up right away.
So the malfunction was that how they acted during
the process did not protect Janet being covered,
meaning Janet grabbing herself quick, too, should have been better.
But the outfit changed from showing her butt two days before
to doing a breast two days later
because Britney, Madonna, and Christina Aguilera
kissed in front of Justin on MTV.
So Janet's choreographer, Gil, said we have to do something bigger.
And that's how this became that.
If Justin, in this documentary...
Sits down and tells that, because
presumably Justin knows that was the plan.
If he tells that version of it, would you be satisfied?
Would that feel like an apology?
I don't need an apology. I'm cool.
But he would be telling the truth.
It was supposed to be this G-string.
This is the Janet G-string.
So you were supposed to originally see
her butt, and it became her breast.
