Class action suit filed in aftermath
- Share via
A Tennessee woman has filed a class action suit against Janet Jackson and others involved in her breast-baring Super Bowl halftime show, saying millions of people are owed monetary damages for exposure to lewd conduct, court records show.
The suit, filed earlier this week in federal court in Knoxville, also names pop star Justin Timberlake, who performed with Jackson; CBS Broadcasting Inc.; show producer MTV Networks Enterprises Inc.; and the parent of those two companies, Viacom.
The action seeks a court order to prevent anything like last Sunday’s stunt from being aired on U.S. network TV earlier than 10 p.m. local time when children might be watching. It does not specify a damages figure.
