The term wardrobe malfunction was made famous by the duo of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, after a particularly revealing performance at the Super Bowl XXXVIII half-time show. The controversy occurred when, at the end of the duo's live performance of "Rock Your Body," Justin ripped off a piece of Janet's costume and revealed her right breast, commencing "Nipplegate." J&J swore it was an accident, but the FCC called it "a classless, crass and deplorable stunt." Justin publicly apologized, while Janet's peeps said she was sorry, but this was one play that would run over and over again
