Summary

It's one of the most memorable moments in television history, but nobody really knows what actually happened or why. At the Superbowl halftime show in 2004, two of the world's biggest stars shared the stage: Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. At the end of their number, Timberlake ripped away a piece of Jackson's top, exposing her breast to 9/16ths of a second. The incident caused an international scandal, and Jackson's career would never be the same. BUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? This episode tries to untangle it all.
