Together again? Not so much.

Janet Jackson has shut down any rumours that she will be joining Justin Timberlake during this year91裸聊视频檚 Super Bowl halftime show.

91裸聊视频淭o put to rest any speculation or rumours as to whether I will be performing at the Super Bowl tomorrow; I will not,91裸聊视频� Jackson said in a statement released Saturday. 91裸聊视频淭hank you for your support and I do look forward to seeing you all very soon.91裸聊视频�

Timberlake is returning to the halftime show 14 years after a wardrobe malfunction with Jackson caused a national controversy. Timberlake was Jackson91裸聊视频檚 special guest during her performance at that year91裸聊视频檚 game and ripped off a piece of her clothing, revealing her nipple. Timberlake later described it as an unintended 91裸聊视频渨ardrobe malfunction.91裸聊视频�

CBS, which aired that Super Bowl, was fined $550,000 by the Federal Communications Commission, but the fine later was overturned.

The hashtags #JusticeforJanet and #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay became trending topics on Twitter days before Timberlake91裸聊视频檚 record third trip to the stage at the Super Bowl, at which the Philadelphia Eagles will face the New England Patriots at the U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.

At a press conference on Thursday, Timberlake mentioned Jackson91裸聊视频檚 name, along with Jay-Z and 91裸聊视频楴Sync, when talking about rumoured guests to join him onstage. He was not asked any direct questions about Jackson or the infamous wardrobe malfunction.

When the NFL announced late last year that Timberlake would be returning to the Super Bowl, the decision triggered a backlash from women, minorities and others who felt Jackson was unfairly forced to pay a far higher price than Timberlake faced. Some argued that Jackson, as a black woman, fell victim to a racist and sexist double standard and received harsher treatment than Timberlake, as a white man, did, and they said he benefited from 91裸聊视频渨hite male privilege.91裸聊视频�

When asked during an interview last month if he and Jackson have since made peace, Timberlake said, 91裸聊视频淎bsolutely.91裸聊视频�

He said he and Jackson have talked privately about what happened.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know that a lot of people know that,91裸聊视频� Timberlake said. 91裸聊视频淚 mean, I don91裸聊视频檛 think it91裸聊视频檚 my job to do that, because you value the relationships that you do have with people.91裸聊视频�
