JUSTIN EXPLODES ON TV
A furious Justin Timberlake has blasted those responsible for his controversial Super Bowl half-time show antics with Janet Jackson, calling the breast-baring shocker "completely, completely, completely regrettable."
The pop star claims the incident, which was beamed live to the world on Sunday, has marred a wonderful 12 months for him, and he regrets agreeing to jet back from Spain to perform with Jackson.
In a lengthy televised statement that aired Wednesday night, Timberlake says, "I didn't have time to rehearse it, I got to the field went on stage, was in the moment and what happened.
"I was completely shocked and appalled, and all I could say was, 'Oh my God, oh my God.'
"I looked at her, they brought a towel up onto the stage. I immediately covered her up. I was completely embarrassed and just walked off the stage as quick as I could.
"(This last year) was remarkable for me and I felt like I made a lot of steps with my music and I did a lot of good things. I don't want to be involved in a stunt. That's not my style. I don't have any reason to do this.
"I'm frustrated at the whole situation and that my whole character is being questioned. I don't feel like I need publicity like this.
"I do understand how unfortunate this is. I do understand that there were a lot of people who were completely offended by what happened, including my own family."
Despite Timberlake's retrospective contrition, he said immediately after the performance, "That was fun. It was quick, slick, to the point. We love giving y'all something to talk about."
