Timberlake didn’t come off so well in Framing Britney Spears earlier this year, leading to his public apology to both his ex-girlfriend Spears and Jackson over the Super Bowl debacle, and this probably won’t improve that perception. And Timberlake’s career rise gets contrasted with Jackson’s fall. Race and misogyny are examined and so is disgraced CBS executive Les Moonves’s role. The doc, directed by Jodi Gomes ( The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty), looks at the national furor over the incident, using rare footage and new interviews with Jackson family members, NFL and MTV execs who were at the control deck in Houston that night, music industry insiders and cultural critics. Despite apologies - and JT being forgiven - Jackson was publicly shamed, banned from events (which Timberlake attended) and had her music blacklisted. Jackson, an iconic superstar with decades of accolades at the time, faced extraordinary fallout over it, even though Justin Timberlake was the one who ripped the piece off her top.
