Supreme Court Throws Out Janet Jackson Nipple Flash Case
Janet Jackson made headlines in 2004 when she was dancing with Justin Timberlake and accidentally flashed her sun-encrusted nipple for the entire planet.
Today, the Supreme Court ordered a federal appeals court to re-examine its ruling in favor of CBS Corp in the legal fight over Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction.”
Can you believe this is STILL going on?
The high court directed the appeals court in Philadelphia to consider reinstating the $550,000 fine that the FCC imposed on CBS over the incident.
CBS said that it wasn’t surprised at the ruling and expressed confidence that the court will find again that the incident couldn’t have been anticipated by their network.
The appellate court said the incident lasted nine-sixteenths of one second and should have been regarded as “fleeting.†The FCC previously deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so “pervasive as to amount to ’shock treatment’ for the audience,†the court said.
It wasn’t anticipated by anyone. They need to let this go already. They’re bringing more attention to the incident over the years than the incident itself received in the first place.
