Janet Jackson grabbed audience member’s crotch on stage

I never thought I’d say this, but Janet Jackson is really upping the ante when it comes to controversy. Janet is currently on her “Rock Witchu” – which I mistakenly thought sounded rather benign. While she does manage to keep her own clothing in place, she’s certainly not shying away from private areas – mostly others.

Forget eye-popping wardrobe malfunctions. Janet Jackson’s kinky side was front and center during her concert last night at L.A.’s Staples Center.

During her performance of her sex-oozin’ S&M-filled song, “Discipline,” Jackson gave a male fan quite an elaborate lap dance after she announced, “I think it’s time I found a new man.” She called the fella to the stage, where he was tied to a wooden frame and hung by a harness. At one point, Jackson lay on the stage and the guy was slowly lowered on top of her.

He could be seen on the concert’s LCD screens mouthing, “I love you, Janet.” And then Jackson went for it, and the two locked lips for a few seconds.

It didn’t stop there. Ms. Jackson also grabbed his crotch! She was surrounded by her dancers, some of whom were wearing oversize silver and black codpieces. The audience went wild.

So that sounds fairly shocking, but not “gasp, oh my God I can’t believe she just did that” shocking. But if you head on over to TMZ’s website, you can see a picture of the guy in the outfit (sorta NSFW). And when you see his getup and then jog through what you just read, you get quite the mental video.

For the eight people out there who still believed the line about the accidental “wardrobe malfunction” and how it was all such a terrible, horrible, unplanned mistake… I think seeing just a few of Janet’s proclivities so openly displayed should end any lingering questions.

Here’s Janet performing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Images thanks to WENN.

    Personally, I think that’s yucky. I wouldn’t want to be touched, let alone kissed by her. But that fan really seemed to enjoy being so close to his idol, so there’s no harm done, right? They go to such concerts to get exactly that and so she’s just giving her audience what it wants. No harm, no foul.

    So damn classy.

  3. Virginia says:

    She’s been doing that since The Velvet Rope tour. This is not news.

  4. Morene says:

    It’s just a stage show. People expect this from her. And I personally do not have a problem with it. I would like to see the pictures or a video of this though.

  5. Savanah Anderson says:

    Thats how she performs. I like her performances

    Hey look… she’s starting to get as glittery and metallic as her brother!

    I was at a Psychedelic Furs concert and they were doing “Pretty in Pink”. Richard Butler, the lead singer, jumped off the stage and into the crowd (small venue). We locked lips and it was the best kiss of my life…I’ll never forget it!!! He could have grabbed anything he wanted to, with no complaints from me… 😳

    You should see what Prince does at his shows. For one tour, he actually had a bed onstage and was humping an invisible girlfriend. 2-2-SEXY!

    i always said that “wardrobe malfunction” was b/s.
    i mean the lyrics to the song they were singing was “i will have you naked by the end of this song”!

  9. Codzilla says:

    That getup she’s wearing is less than flattering.

  10. I choose me says:

    Way I heard it Justin was supposed to rip the outer layer of her outfit off just as he sung that line “gonna have you naked by the end of this song” but the red lace thing underneath was supposed to stay in place. I also saw an interview where they asked Megan Mullaly from Will & Grace about it and she said she saw Janet backstage at the end of that show and that she was crying and pretty upset about it.

    Still think she got hung out to dry over what is essentially just a boob and as others have pointed out this is not the first time she’s done something like this (the crotch-grabbing and touch feely) at a concert so I’m not sure why this is news.

  11. Zoe says:

    I agree. Nipplegate was so rediculous. The fact that it destroyed her career is terrible. The fact that Justin Timberlake WAS THE ONE WHO RIPPED IT OFF and then kept claiming it was all her and that he didn’t know anything about it and his career went unscathed -especially after all she did for him like appearing on his album and giving NSYNC a big break… wow, what a slap in the face. Our society is so sexist.

  12. Jeanne says:

    What’s with the Jacksons and their fixation on crotch-grabbing. Is this proof of childhood sexual abuse?

  13. chessie says:

    Whoa… girlfriend, that outfit does nothing for you but accentuate what does not need accentuation– thunder thighs and balloon butt.

    well thats janet for you

  15. I am very keen on Janet Jackson so her leaving the music industry will be a huge loss. Their family has had a tremendous impact on music from since I am able to recall.
