Nine Sixteenths

In 2004, in the SuperBowl halftime show finale, 19 year old Justin Timberlake ripped off 37 year old Janet Jackson's top. Her breast was exposed on screen for nine sixteenths of a second. A pop icon and role model for many black women, and an outspoken ally for the lgbtqI+ community, the moment derailed Jackson's career for many years, while Timberlake's thrived.
