Janet Jackson on the Super Bowl 'wardrobe malfunction'

Janet Jackson has spoken publicly for the first time about the 2004 Super Bowl 'wardrobe malfunction', saying she regrets apologising for an accident on the Oprah show.

Janet Jackson has spoken out for the first time about that much reported 'wardrobe malfunction' at the halftime show of America's 2004 Super Bowl. As you'll remember, the performance saw Justin Timberlake ripping open Jackson's top to reveal a nearly-bare breast (which kind of makes it seem like it was intentional, doesn't it?). Anyway, you remember the ludicrous bloody great fuss that ensued, with the network being fined stupid amounts of money over a bit of naked flesh, and Janet herself broadcasting an apology over the incident.

Anyway, she's said on the Oprah show that she regrets apologising because it made her look guilty about something that was an accident. If I were her, I'd regret apologising because I was forced give in to the ringleaders of a hysterical witch hunt by doing so. But perhaps that's just me.
