SF Gate reports that CBS boss Les Moonves was incensed by Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” during the network’s 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. So much so that he sought to ban her from all CBS and Viacom properties and undercut her career. This according to a report Thursday by HuffPost reporter Yashar Ali.
Citing multiple unnamed sources, Ali wrote that Moonves considered the singer insufficiently repentant following the Super Bowl incident. Justin Timberlake pulled at Jackson’s bustier and exposed her nipple for just over half a second.
