LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Janet Jackson is believed to be “enjoying” the downfall of Justin Timberlake as the singer faces issues in his career as well as in his marriage to Jessica Biel.

Jackson and the 44-year-old actor attracted headlines 21 years ago when the latter left the ‘That's the Way Love Goes’ hitmaker reportedly embarrassed at the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show.

Timberlake allegedly exposed Jackson’s right breast to millions of TV viewers, resulting in an uproar among fans and commentators.

Janet Jackson’s ‘put whole scandal behind her’

Now years later, the 58-year-old singer is relishing the success of her Vegas residency while the ‘Friends with Benefits’ struggles personally as well as professionally.

A tipster told RadarOnline, “Janet is a class act and has gone out of her way to play nice in public and put this whole scandal behind her, but everyone in her inner circle knows she's still disgusted by the way Justin behaved.”

“She's getting rave reviews for her show in Las Vegas, her health is great, and she's feeling and looking better than she has in years. It does really seem like the tables have flipped,” they noted.

Another source, referring to the scandal, stated, “He skated away from it with zero consequences.”

They further added, “Karma does catch up with people and it seems like it's Justin's turn to learn a lesson in humility. Who could blame Janet for enjoying it a little?”

Justin Timberlake accused of disappointing fans

While Jackson is doing really well in her life, Timberlake is reportedly not.

The ‘Justified’ singer has been accused of singing songs from his unsuccessful albums during the world tour.

Fans have also alleged that he cancelled a show minutes before it was about to start.

In October last year, he had said, “I'm so sorry to postpone tonight's show. I have an injury that is preventing me from performing. I'm so disappointed to not see you all but I'm working to reschedule ASAP.”

“I promise to make it up to you and give you the show y'all deserve. Thank you guys for understanding. Appreciate your support always. -JT,” he added.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s marriage not perfect

Besides, his personal life is also not on the right track as he was involved in a drunk-driving scandal last year.

Then in February 2025, Timberlake’s wife Biel revealed about “sometimes devolving” marriage to him.

“Another year of joy and challenges being a parent with you. Another year growing and evolving and sometimes devolving, with you,” the actress wrote in an Instagram post.
