Janet Resented Husband Over Her Struggling Career

-She cut her tour short to start a family with him to try to save the marriage.

why do people keep thinking this works? who keeps telling them this?!

It's because for some reason people are afraid to be alone. I know so many people who would rather be in a shit relationship and compromise on the things they want instead of just being happy by themselves and doing exactly what they want with their lives.

this and/or they get trapped in the whole I will sacrifice myself for my child and stay in this shitty relationship because it's the ~best thing~ to be in a fucked up home environment

having a fix-it baby is never a good idea

men like to tell women it's their fault the relationship is falling apart bc they're working all the time and then the women go and quit their job or whatever and 'OOP sry it wasn't that at all!!! i just had to blame u one last time!!!' #valarmorghulis

ugh my friend just gave birth to her "save the relationship" baby and she's only 23

Love makes you do dumb things. I guess she thought she was the exception!

mte, start blaming yourself at that point

It's literally the worst thing you could do in that situation.

society tbh

man her people are WAY out in front of this. way to allude to stereotypes, classy pr people.

MTE, they've been relentless. Her just happening to be papped for the first time in months while walking with her son in the park - I see you, sis!

He posted this on his website:

"You shall most certainly be tried in your possessions and in your persons; and indeed you shall hear many hurtful things from those to whom revelation was granted before your time, as well as from those who have come to ascribe divinity to other beings beside Allah. But if you remain patient in adversity and conscious of Him – this, behold, is something to set one's heart upon. - 3:186"

What does that mean, generally speaking? LMAO durrrr

Mte its gross bc its working, people wete disgustingly racist toward arabs in the last post.

Why would her PR people make her want to be like Madonna when they have a rilvry?

What people? It's a damn tabloid. They're a famous couple getting a divorce and people are gonna write their own version of shit for clicks like they always.

Idk why in a gossip site people still think tabloids are beacons of truth & everything is a "leak" as if tabloids don't make up 99% of the stories

MTE.

All things considered, I agree. Not surprising in the slightest, lbr.

Why do people keep thinking having kids will save a marriage?

the older i get the more i think i'm just gonna die alone bc people are shit

esp people of the male variety

i hate men [12098301928]

Nothing wrong with being alone or-as morbid as it might sound- dying 'alone.' So long as you have loving friends and family around you, it's all good.

And then you find someone awesome. And then he moves across the country. =(

lmao ok sis

Props for staying 2 months past the contract though.

LMAO

Honestly, why the fuck even get married? I feel like these are issues they clearly went into the marriage having. Who converts to a new religion but is surprised years later about the restrictions that go with it? Don't convert, don't get married and for fuck's sake - don't bring a child into it. Also, isn't Janet known for cancelling her tours last minute? Girl, your husband may have been an asshole but you're the one who has been alienating your own fans.

a colleague of mine converted to a religion before getting married. her husband makes a lot of money so they lead a cushy life, i'm not hating on her for making the decision, she gets to be a stay at home mom and not worry about the bills, travel and do all that fancy stuff. but i'm not sure that signing away everything is how i'd want to go about things tbh. i know that some people are truly good with arrangements like that but there are also some that feel a lot of resentment and i wouldn't even want to risk that additional stressor

I think it's really weird to convert for a spouse. Unless they genuinely helped you see something that made you want to do it anyway, but otherwise...

converting to your spouse's religion isn't necessarily a bad thing imho. partners and spouses can often be the first real personal introduction that people have to other religions and if there's something that connects there, then there's a connection and it's worth pursuing for some people. converting strictly for the sake of your partner is where it starts getting messy. i get loving someone enough to do that for them, but. if you don't believe it, you don't believe it. and if your partner very seriously believes in it, then the gap between your lack of true faith and their sincere faith is gonna be a problem.

I agree, I've always been initially hesitant when it comes to converting because I'm always weary that someone might feel pressured into do it or might be self-censoring themselves at their own risk but I've seen it happen where it was in a loving, healthy relationship and it kind of changed my perspective.

Has having a child ever helped any marriage on the rocks ever?

All of this stuff sounded like shit that should've been worked out before y'all tied the knot.

Shit like this really makes me appreciate those who get a divorce and don't offer the public any justifications.

you want to get a divorce get one. the only person who'd ever owe me an explanation for wanting one, would be the person i married.

don't get me wrong, i know that 99 percent of celeb "news" is made up bullshit or shit that's stretched from a hair of truth, but lawd just once i want someone to say, "I got a divorce because I wanted one. Scratch that, needed one."

I know she's ~~iconic or whatever, but I never understood her appeal. I think she had awesome abs once...? That's all I've got on Janet Jackson.

Back in the day when "Control" came out, she was just so important. I'm a white woman in fucking germany and still her messages of feminism coming from her own very personal experience worked as a confirmation of my own thoughts. And - you could dance your ass off while you got empowered by her words.
Everything after that was like you and your best girlfriend were having a meaningful conversation.
And the music was great, epic, just like her groundbreaking videos. She was certainly the queen of the 90s, don't underestimate her relevance as an artist and as a feminist hero.

The stream of quality music and videos that she released with Control, Rhythm Nation, Janet and Velvet Rope (and even All For You) is something so many other artists could only dream of...

lol sweet summer child

Were you born after the USSR fell or

oh, honey

She's just famous in the USA and in Brazil. But then again, I probably have stans in Brazil.

yeah, I don't remember a single thing about her except the nipple super bowl

The thing is, she has always been unreliable when touring, it goes on and on for decades now. I did not even bother to buy a ticket because she rarely bothers to shows up, especially here in Europe.

I still laugh my ass off about that one.
Also: I still love Janet to pieces!

The best.

lmfao read ha!

Every time this is posted I have to comment. Every. Single. Time.

for one of the greatest pop performers, her touring legacy is horrible. so much of what she gained from her first three (3.5...4?) tours is lost to her inconsistency. she didn't want to tour after TVR ended in 99 and she probably should have given herself a 10 year break

Let's face it, she held out just long enough to get PAID! $500MM goes a long ways towards feeling better.

I will always HATE him and the white people who made her the guilty part and him the nice guy next door who accidently was on stage. Assholes1!!!!!

The FCC killed her career.

You're right. He just held her down so they could run her over with the bus.

why? the whole thing was obviously planned on both their parts, they're both responsible. that being said, I don't think it should've been as big a deal as it was, it's just a boob. boobs never killed anybody.

Lol Janet ruined her own career.
