All MJ's siblings have exploited the fact that he is/was their brother, during his lifetime and after his death.

There were no "interventions"

Why Janet is so underrated ... if we compare her to JLo...., what the hell does JLo do so special or better except posing like a b!th....? JLo cant sing, she cant dance....

Janet is HOT and far more talented.... than JLo...
 
Janet makes a big sigh when she is asked about Paris acting thing (4:30)

How many times is she going to say she was teased by 'Michael' that her butt was big as a child?:mat: He's dead ok Janet.. Jesus Christ she has been saying the same thing for the past 15 years or so. I am so tired of the fakeness.. Is she trying to reignite sales for this book of hers? why is she once again throwing her dead brother under the bus. Is she that traumatized by being teased as a child by her brother saying her butt was big? Well her butt is big so what? Don't all brothers tease and make fun of their sisters? My brother has told me as an adult that I was gaining weight and needed to work out..so what?? I told him to kiss my butt and worry about his own self
:rofl:
 
^^^^Can you please just stop it???? That was hardly a focal point of the interview. And if that influenced her self esteem, then so be it. Stop trying to make everything into something immensely negative.

Gosh!!

I believe it's safe to say that "most" of us, if not ALL of us have been on one end or the other of that sister/brother teasing thing. LOL! In my opinion, it's just part of growing up with siblings.

There are 8 of us, and believe me, at one point or another, we ALL had a nickname which we gave to each other, for one reason or another. LOL! And whenever we get together, believe me, "some" of those nicknames STILL come up. Oh for the good old days of my youth. LOL!
 
Well in all fairness she didnt bring it up. She was asked directly about MJ teasing her. She didnt dwell on it and She did say his nickname was meant as a term of endearment so she didnt throw him under the bus In my opinion or blame her issues on him. There were many factors why she had a low image of herself at times. Interviewers are going to try and insert MJ's name how ever they can. Janet was very gracious about it.
 
well I think siblings teasing each other is pretty natural, so i don't see the big deal in it tbh. I've been called all kinds of names myself, and I call my sisters all kinds of names. since she didn't bring it up herself, i'm willing to give her a pass.

Yes, she mentioned about the "interventions" in the interviews she did after michael's passings. But, did she make them up? There are some truth to the interventions. How is it throwing her brother under the bus? What has she done that deserves such hatred from fans? Why fans only remember the bad's and ignore the good's?

Calling her book a flop when it's not a flop? Calling her world tour a "theatre" tour when it's quite a successful tour? Calling her irrelevant when she's one of the living icons?

Gosh... I don't even like janet that much, but it's just so very sad to see such bitterness and anger towards her. Is it really necessary to regrugitate the same old thing she said in the past whenever a new janet jackson thread is created?

Think about it this way. Do you like people repeat the berlin balcony accident whenever the name michael jackson is mentioned? All of us may have said and done something that we later regret. People around us forgive our mistakes and let us move on. Yet, it seems fans are determined to be as harsh as it can be to people around michael.

amen !!>.omg !!!!amen
 
The thing is that nickname didn't even come from Michael, it was marlon or tito gave her that nickname. Michael was also a child then and he just called Janet the same way her other siblings did. However, media always single out michael to make him look bad and make it a big deal.
 
I give credit to Janet for talking some sense...She doesn't seem to have much influence, which is mind boggling to me since, she is the only star left in the family.

Maybe she should start signing her money away to Katherine...she might then be able to influence the family.

(15-12-2011) In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Janet Jackson said she is a little scared about her neice's decision to step into the spotlight.

Michael Jackson's little sister told Access Hollywood, "I'm excited for her... but it worries me a...bit. I wish that she would maybe wait."

Janet's hesitation on Paris's behalf is a result of her own experiences as a child actor. "Your childhood...you completely lose," she explained. "It's not an easy thing."

Janet admits that, while she understands that the decision ultimately belongs to Paris, she says she actually tried to dissuade Michael's daughter from giving up her childhood. Something her famous brother might have done himself. "I told her I would take this time to just study...really, really study the craft."

Janet's interview with Access Hollywood airs tonight. Check your local listings for times.

Is she taking over for Marie Osmond? The nutrisystem?
Click to expand...

Yes she is, she's their new spokeswoman, it seems the dieting world has stepped up who they're choosing to endorse them now, Janet with nutrisystem, Mariah Carey with Jenny Craig, and Jennifer Hudson with Weight Watchers.

It seems Janet is doing this as part of a humanitarianism effort too, she will not be being paid for her involvement, and is doing the campaign to help feed the starving:

The singers Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Jennifer Hudson are showing off newly slender bodies to entice tubbier folks to follow their example. “Get On It,” says Ms. Jackson, in the “Success” program being introduced on Friday by Nutrisystem Inc.

Even with the stellar lineup, major weight-loss brands are going beyond usual diet offerings like new or tastier food to add their voices to public nutritional concerns.

•

Jenny, which also dropped the surname Craig, brought Ms. Carey aboard last month to show off the loss of 30 postpregnancy pounds she credited to the program, and to be the public face of a new effort to raise awareness of the health consequences of overeating.

Nutrisystem and Ms. Jackson are creating Nutribank to distribute meals to the hungry, beginning with $10 million in company food contributions for 2012. The company has pledged one dollar’s worth of company food for every pound lost by Nutrisystem customers next year.

Ms. Hudson continues as Weight Watchers International’s spokeswoman, introducing its “Believe Because It Works” campaign on Dec. 22. The basketball great Charles Barkley will begin the brand’s effort to target pudgy men the day after Christmas.

Weight Watchers, which is the largest player in the estimated $60 billion industry, also is pairing with the talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz for his Transformation Nation challenge, where people weigh-in at a Weight Watchers center, consult with their doctor, begin exercising and have a chance at winning $1 million.

Jenny’s new effort, “My Heart. My Life.,” is a collaboration with the American Heart Association featuring Ms. Carey, with public service announcements urging people to eat healthy and exercise. The program also will include community and education programs, and have a link on its Web site, jennycraig.com, to the heart association’s My Life Check questionnaire that evaluates heart health and risk for heart disease.

Nutrisystem adopted the approach of combating hunger at the behest of Ms. Jackson, who said in an interview that “It’s so heartbreaking to see people hungry. This should not happen at all.”

Although she did not lose her initial weight on Nutrisystem, she is adhering to its plan now, and signed up with the brand, she said, because “weight is something I’ve dealt with it all my life.” She wrote about her body image issues in “True You,” her 2011 book.

“You can get people’s attention when you are famous,” she said, “but hunger is not something you can solve alone, which is why I wanted this partnership. I’m not getting paid. This is from my heart.”

Food will be given to the nonprofit Nutribank and be distributed by hunger relief agencies like Save the Children, according to Joseph M. Redling, Nutrisystem’s chief executive. He said the company would donate food in the United States and financial support abroad to fight hunger.

Ms. Jackson is appearing in two 60-second Nutrisystem ads, which weave a more casual persona together with her preparations for a concert. The spots will be officially broadcast starting Dec. 26.“You see her different facets — her in jeans, as authentic and natural, and you see the performance side,” said Mark Dowley, a principal at DDCD & Partners, an independently owned New York agency that handled the campaign.

The spot promotes Nutrisystem’s offerings, which, Mr. Redling said, now have more protein and fiber. Some are sold in bags that can be steamed for convenience. He said the company would spend this year “at least equal to last year’s spend,” on advertising, which was $319 million, according to figures from Kantar Media. Jenny’s outlays were about $50 million and Weight Watchers’ were nearly $134 million in 2010, Kantar said.

•

Even so, Weight Watchers dominates the industry, with revenue last year of $1.45 billion, according to Marketdata Enterprises, an industry tracking firm in Tampa, Fla.. Nutrisystem was No. 2, with sales of $509 million, down from $776 million before the recession. Jenny tallied $462 million, which is an estimate because it is a division of Nestlé and does not disclose the exact figures, according to Marketdata.

Jenny’s multimedia campaign, done in conjunction with PMK-BNC, an Interpublic Group company, continues to be celebrity-centric, but takes a different approach.

The 30-second ad features Ms. Carey peeling back her glittery black covering, slowly revealing her toned body. There are no words, only “Jenny Set Go” at the end, to highlight the brand’s 28-day jump-start program.

For Weight Watchers, Mr. Barkley is expected to capture overweight males, who typically avoid weight-loss programs. But, said John S. LaRosa, of dietbusinesswatch.com, men are a growing segment because of the anonymity and flexibility of dieting sites on the Web like Weight Watchers, which has 1.7 million paid online subscribers.

Still, Weight Watchers’ success this year “has been in no small part due to the power of Jennifer Hudson,” he said — plus the flexibility and low cost of the program.

Stars “are here to stay because they draw the attention to losing weight,” said Ellen Granberg, a Clemson University sociology professor who studies long-term weight loss. “The companies are changing the way they are perceived, and how they influence the public.” The reason? “They may be transitioning from being seen as diet companies,” she said, “to preventive health providers.”

Here's a behind the scenes look at the making of her advert:

Why are so many people here so negative about Janet? She can just answer the questions from the interviewer and if the interviewer ask her about her weight troubles she can just answer. I love Janet Interviews because she's talking about herself and she's never looking for attention over Michael like other siblings. She did always her own thing, worked hard for her own career and she's successfull - not like Michael, but she's doing a great job. I love her really much for being JANET. She and Michael are the normal ones in that family. Now Janet is the only one...
 
She did not throw MJ under any bus.. she was asked about her brother picking on her and she answered.. PLEASE! It's so ridiculous how bias some people are.. Its fine for all Jacksons (including MJ) talk about how Joseph abused them 30 + years ago, but not ok to answer a simple question.. Even the way she answered she stated that it was out of endearment.

Why do I feel that no one is giving anyone a time to say anything? some are really sucking the joy right out of everything. It was a nice small interview, she looked beautiful, and conducted herself well..

She NEVER did something like that. She just told that she was teased by Michael and it did hurt her in that time but she always loved Mike and she's not angry with him or something. It is the typical brother-sister-teasing and Janet knows that Michael didn't mean it serious. Janet got so much love for Michael. It's not fair to crack her down. She always stood by his side and she always defended him.
 
Didn't her other 5 brothers tease her too? It just seems like Michael being the only one picked out. It's a little unfair that people are asking just about him. But I understand what she is saying.

I agree. I can honestly imagine MJ teasing people, but I thought it was more innocent fun then anything else. He may have done it out of love and concern either way, I don't think Janet's saying he set out to intentionally hurt her.

They ALL teased each other but from my understanding MJ teased her the worse. They said MJ was the tease and they were surprised that he took his puberty years so hard because how he teased people so. MJ also said that he was pretty hard on her and that he didnt mean harm (which Janet has also basically said).

Seeing how this is a Janet topic I don't want to go off topic but some time soon can you PM me and tell me what Michael's problem was? Maybe I missed it
 
As far as substance abuse is concerned Ms Jackson shouldn't be the speaking considering her own history with prescription medication and diet pills. Just saying.
