Justin Timberlake is seen fawning over a Janet Jackson poster years before THAT Super Bowl scandal -...

Recently discovered video of a young Justin Timberlake shows the singer excitedly talking about a poster of Janet Jackson, long before their controversial performance at the 2004 Super Bowl made them famous worldwide.

The video is shown in the initial installment of the Netflix series, Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam. This show follows the story of the famous music executive, Lou Pearlman, who was involved in creating and overseeing popular boy bands like Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and O-Town before his downfall.

In a recent interview, Chris Kirkpatrick, a member of Timberlake's band, remembered how 'NSYNC was created back in 1995. He mentioned that all the young musicians, including Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and JC Chasez, were living in a house rented by Pearlman when the band was first established.

In the video, a young Timberlake, who is now 43 years old, is shown sitting on his bed and spinning a basketball on his finger. He pauses and introduces himself by saying: "Hello, I'm Justin, the newest member of 'NSYNC. If you haven't heard of us yet, we are a fresh vocal group on the scene."

The scene changes to the celebrity pointing to the Jackson poster hanging on the wall, who is now 58 years old, and saying: 'I have that Janet Jackson poster because I admire her so much.'

Recently discovered film of a young Justin Timberlake expressing his admiration for a poster of Janet Jackson hanging in his bedroom is now included in the Netflix documentary series, Dirty Pop: The Boyband Scam.

Timberlake mistakenly revealed the music legend's bare breast to 140 million people during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.

The photo was captured by Yuri Elizondo in 1993 and shows Jackson flaunting her fit stomach in a high-neck, black leather cropped top and light denim jeans. She gazes into the distance with wavy hair framing her face.

Surprisingly, Timberlake, who is 43 years old, ended up having a lasting bond with Jackson even after he unintentionally revealed the music legend's breast to 140 million people during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.

Users on Netflix reacted swiftly to the video, with one person posting: 'Remember when Justin Timberlake had a Janet Jackson poster in his room as a kid, yet still ended up tearing her top off during their performance. Strange.'

Another person commented: 'Can you believe Justin Timberlake had a picture of Janet Jackson on his wall just when *NSYNC started?'

One fan wrote: 'Haha, there's a new documentary about 90s boy bands on Netflix, and they show a young Justin Timberlake with a Janet Jackson poster in his bedroom... kind of awkward'.

Another person commented: "When you watch the 'That Dirty Pop' documentary for the first time, you see Justin Timberlake pointing to a poster of Janet Jackson. If only someone had stopped him before the Super Bowl incident."

Timberlake was having a great time with his solo career when he received a surprise invitation to join Jackson's halftime show in 2004.

While dancing, he accidentally removed a piece of Jackson's outfit, exposing her right breast decorated with a nipple shield shaped like a sun.

The video was recorded when NSYNC was living together in a house that their manager, Lou Pearlman, had rented when the band was first established.

Justin says, "I adore that woman, so that Janet Jackson poster is mine." The picture shows Janet wearing a black leather crop top with a high neckline and light denim jeans.

Decades later, the duo grabbed the attention of audiences worldwide. Timberlake issued a delayed apology in 2021 for instances where he 'profited from a system that supports sexism and discrimination'.

The criticism greatly impacted Janet's career in the years that came after, and the scandal has continued to dominate the conversation about her performance that evening.

During the years that followed, Jackson was essentially shunned, while Timberlake's career carried on without any negative impact.

The way they were both treated differently caused a negative reaction from the public who believed Jackson was unfairly treated. This led Timberlake to issue a late apology in 2021.

He said that he was 'very sorry for the times in my life when I did things that added to the issue, when I said things I shouldn't have, or stayed silent when I should have spoken up for what was right.'

The singer of Cry Me A River mentioned that he knew he made mistakes in these situations and in many others, and was able to get away with it because the system supports sexism and racism.

The latest Netflix documentary, Dirty Pop: The Boyband Scam, uncovers the unpleasant reality of how Lou Pearlman actually financed some of the most popular pop groups in the '90s.

The docuseries talks to music artists to find out the real story behind why Lou Pearlman was sent to jail for conspiracy, money laundering, and fraudulent bankruptcy schemes.

Lou Pearlman is pictured with members of N'Sync - Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Justin Timberlake - at N.Y.P.D. pizza in Miami in 1996.

As the talent manager kept the public entertained with a continuous stream of popular songs from the 2000s, he was secretly operating one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in American history. He deceived banks and individuals into investing in his fraudulent businesses.

Pearlman earned a lot of money from inexperienced young musicians who didn't understand how the music industry works. This allowed him to pay 'NSYNC only $35 a day while making millions selling their records.

The revealing documentary series tells the story of the scammer's rise to great success, followed by his dramatic downfall that resulted in a 25-year prison sentence for crimes including conspiracy, money laundering, and fraudulent bankruptcy filings.

AJ McLean and Howie Dorough from the Backstreet Boys remember working with Pearlman in the documentary series, along with 'NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick.

The new documentary Dirty Pop: The Boyband Scam can now be watched on Netflix.
