Inside Janet Jackson's Private Love Life, 3 Failed Marriages & An R&B Legend No One Knew About

[@asmrdate]

I met Janet when she lived in Atlanta and was with Jermaine. She came into the boutique I was working in. The sweetest soft spoken woman and very kind! Forever a fan!

[@robertmauli1293]

I met her whilst I was interning at this entertainment company in Atlanta too. She walked in with LA Reid in mid 2006, she was wearing a blue jacket with jeans and heels and a white top. She actually introduced herself at the reception and mentioned she had an appointment with a photographer. I thought how humble of her, given she is a mega superstar. She is very soft spoken and sweet. She smelled like money too.

[@Sleeppoetry]

I would just chill at this point if I were 57.

[@michellerosebrown]

I have to met Janet. ❤ I am a professional actress / comic. We both work in the same industry. Come on. Jesus, I pray. Amen. 🙏🏾

[@danavixen6274]

Regardless of her relationship woes, Janet is STILL my FAVORITE female pop star. It's not too late. Hope she's healing while raising her son. I love her documentary as well. I believe in due time, she'll be blessed with a wholesome relationship. ❤❤❤❤❤

Gotta respect Janet for keeping a lot of her business to herself. Back in 1998 after she divorced Rene Elizondo, everyone was caught off guard 😅. That Bobby Brown bio was a surprise too 😅. Goes to show the power of keeping your business to yourself (before social media became a thing).

Her second husband didn't want to take credit at the beginning because he said in interviews, "I am there for her, this is her time" then later JJ found out he got his family involved in the projects, he started being more involved in her decisions with Terry and Jimmy Jam as well as Tina and what made JJ think about his motives was when her eyes were injured and she couldn't see for a month. She stated, "All he kept saying was when are you going back on tour". He was gone a lot and she didn't know where he was. He wasn't a good husband towards the end. She wanted to leave and then he files for divorce claiming he made her career and he had no savings. He tried getting $25 million but ended up getting $5 million cash, 10 million settlement, their malibu home they once shared which reports found he use that house for dancers he was seeing while JJ was gone and he got a mercedes. Now he lives in that same house with his new wife. He did love her at one time but he also saw opportunities and JJ said she was depressed and put her feelings in her songs. The velvet rope she said once was like a breakup record. At the end, he claimed he was submissive to her and never got credit for the songs. Smh.

Janet Jackson isn’t just know for her catchy songs, crisp dance moves and her famous family.

I don't think she can talk about him publicly. Wissam is not just some regular man. He comes from a very powerful family. Their son is an heir.

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

JJ & I could swap some stories except marriage ones. [I think]We pretended that whomever we were with was him. In our heads we have mapped out how it all was going to play out. [I think]We invested too much too fast just because he treated us so nice…in the beginning. Both JJ & I are the same age. Me, personally, have thrown in the towel about anything concerning a relationship. JJ should just focus on her son and chillax. I was also amazed by all of the different looks she had over the years.

Janet has always been my go to musical “therapy”, especially when I was a teenager. I basically grew up listening to both Michael and Janet Jackson. I’m Dominican American (both my parents are from the Dominican Republic, who met in NYC, lol). Anyways, I’m somewhat shocked about how she’s been treated by the men she’s had in her life. When I heard about that swine Elizondo, it disgusts me to this day what he did to her. I’m 45 years of age, have two kids of my own (my son is 24, and my daughter just turned 20), and I will always treasure Janet Jackson, both as a woman who’s suffered even though she is a wealthy woman, and as an artist I looked up to since the age of 8.

Bobby was reaching about Janet he knew she didn’t want him, she deflated his ego. He used her name for clout. Janet is a classy woman. She just wasn’t into Bobby , she refused to address it because she’s above it and she’s not going to disrespect Whitney’s legacy.

[@siddaye]

Janet and Jermaine met in the 1990s

[@beemocha]

I have Bobby Brown’s memoir. He was in love w/ Janet ; she was the one that got away. Whitney was sort of sloppy seconds tbh. Go figure,so was Bobby,because Whitney was in love w/ Eddie Murphy and HE barely took her seriously..same way Janet felt about Bobbayyy. (Spelled that way on purpose) Their fling actually happened behind Renee Elizondo’s back…yup,she was cheating on him. Janet says she didn’t wanna be w/ Bobby because her dad didn’t want her to be w/ a Black man. I’m not 100% buying that tbh. I don’t think it was race,so much as it was image,colorism & the fact that she was literally engaged at the time 😂😂😂 Bobby was her hood rat sl**t from the 90’s on the side *Porsha Williams Voice* Babyyyy that Joe Jackson was a ragingggg colorist,& we can all see now how rampantly the Jackson’s have dated/procreated out. This definitely wasn’t on accident or happen stance. It’s been engrained in them to date light/bright/damn near YT. It’s giving erasure tease.

Well, it's nice to know Rebbie was more defiant where the colorism BS is concerned. She has a beautiful brown skinned daughter. Personally, I hate colorism from either side. I love all our shades. I honestly think if JD had been serious about marrying JJ, Janet would've had darker children with him in a heartbeat. I think she REALLY loved Mr. Dupri. She was always glowing with him. 😊❤

[@joshuamcdowell9745]

@@danavixen6274 Rebbie's late husband Nathaniel Brown was a dark skinned Black man and Janet dated Todd Bridges when she was on Diff'rent Strokes for a little bit. Bobby's reasoning for Janet not wanting to be with him was BS. Janet have dated Black men, but I think she is someone who doesn't limit herself regarding race. Bobby's feelings was hurt because he was the side dude. Janet was with Rene Elizondo, who eventually became her second husband, when she was messing Bobby. Janet wasn't in love. She just wanted the D. Bobby was just an entanglement. It's not her fault that Bobby caught feelings. Also, Bobby admitted to being insecure and hated when Whitney did intimate scenes with her male co-stars in movies. No way he would have handle Janet being a sex symbol. It would not have worked.
