I really dislike when journalists interview artists about their own projects, but then throw in curveball hot-button questions hoping to catch them off-guard and get a controversial viral moment. Cheap and lazy journalism.

She's been in the industry since the 1970's. She should know how to deflect questions she doesn't want to answer. Asking her what she thinks of the upcoming election isn't completely unexpected and it's not hard to say "everyone should get out and vote!" rather than "she's not black!".

Yeah I LOVE Janet but people acting like that was a curveball question is a little silly. The question was just how do you feel we may have the first black woman as president? I just don't think the journalist thought she was about to give a Trump line of response… really there was no bating with that question at all. How would they have thought that Janet thinks she's not black? LOL

[réveuse]

I despise that cop, but this is disappointing coming from Janet. Kamala Harris is certainly a black woman.

True, but in this particular case it wasnt even like the reporter made some hard to answer question or that the reponses was taken out of context like it happens many times. It just feels like Janet has fallen into the aunty obsessed with conspiracy theories territory - older people have never been equipped to deal with the internet lol

Amid the fallout from her comments about Kamala Harris' race and her camp's chaotic attempts to manage the situation, insiders are pointing fingers at her brother and manager, Randy Jackson.

Sources say that the PR disaster proves that Randy is too inexperienced to handle her affairs and has become too loud a voice in her ear.

 

Quote

 

They further told us Janet listens to Randy, who is a "Trump supporter and conspiracy theorist."

"Janet's bubble is small, and she listens to Randy. She does peddle in conspiracy theories," they added.

 

In her interview with the guardian, Janet also mentioned child trafficking conspiracies 

 

Quote

 

"Well, there's all this child trafficking crap that's going on and sex trafficking crap, you know what I mean, that wasn't so prevalent then?" It's a strange about-turn, not least because of the many allegations of child sexual abuse made against Michael. But it is also the most forceful she has been since we sat down. "At least, we didn't know about it back then. I don't think we did, did we? Not really. I think it's really now out in the open, because it's like a billion-dollar business and all that crap."

I wonder what internet rabbit holes she's been going down, but, before I can ask, she's moved on.

 

 

[Slap]

What is with these QAnon supporters talking about pedo and child trafficking conspiracy theories when the REAL THING is right before their eyes? Her brother is the most notorious pedo of all time, this is so sad. To think her career took off when she individuated from her toxic family with Control in 1986 and in 2024 she's back to willingly being under their control? I just find it so sad. 

Girl get your magnifying glass and look directly in front of you. Who would've Lathot that Latoya would become the most sane Jackson daughter. She did speak up about MJ in the 90s and her family shut her out and shut her down.
 

 

Also this quote in the article took me OUT.

Janet's the only person responsible for her ignorance.

[LovingDays]

Randy may control her career, but Janet is a grown woman. She has access to technology and the internet and all that junk. She can and should do her own research. This is no one's fault but her own.

She said she hasn't watched the news recently but what news is she talking about? Clearly Fox News or Newsmax cause that's what she was blabbing out. She's going outta her way to watch that news. 

[Minto]

she's like 60 there's no excuse to not do the research no offense to jan but sometimes it feels like her backbone vanished some time ago 

 

[TaylorsSquad]

Welp sad for Janet but she should know better.

I fear she never had one. She always depended on men. 

[HausOfPunk]

This is a story about control
My control
Control of what I say
Control of what I do
And this time, I'm gonna do it Randy's way

 

[Trash]

The flop one from iCarly?

[Prodigal Self]

I hate it here

[Phaunzie]

I know girls are ready to defend Ms. Jackson and act like it is all Randy's fault, No. Ain't no way Randy is making her say those things, also Randy was  probaly told by Ms. Jackson to fire that man. If I was Randy, I would be getting  ready speak about what really happened. 

[Elusive Chanteuse]

That's no excuse she is a grown woman.

Not before Damita Jo part II. Let me stream someone to call my lover (Remix) until this all gets resolved.

Ugh. I hate the toxic men she always let into her life  I feel like she's far gone but she really needs to surround herself with better people and management. It's so sad that not only her legacy is constantly disrespected, but her recent attempts to rebuild it is being tarnished by this. we need the rhythm nation to gather her up STAT
