I imagine there was a rehearsal and if he deviated from that they would’ve just muted him. I’m no tv producer but iirc they also have a few seconds delay of wiggle room. Don’t imagine they want another Janet Jackson.
I hate that fucking “wardrobe malfunction” narrative they came up with. I watched that shit live. JT deliberately reached up and pulled her titty out, and she had on a fucking pasty. That was a deliberate move in a choreographed show, and they didn’t even have the balls to just say “opps, guess that didn’t go over well.”
I watched it live as well. I agree with you that the entire situation was overblown by just about everybody and she and Justin Timberlake should have just taken responsibility and apologized for going too far live on the air. I also agree that it was a literal “blink and you’ll miss it” moment where 99% of people caught a barely-a-glimpse of titty at most.
But she wasn’t wearing a pasty. She was wearing a sun-shaped nipple clasp, and most of her nipple was clearly visible. It might have been barely-a-glimpse of a titty, but it was still a titty, not a pasty.
Oh, not at all. There was absolutely nothing accidental about that, and they both rightfully got shit for trying to claim otherwise. I’m just saying she did show a titty, which was technically an FCC violation, even if the entire ordeal was wildly blown out of proportion by everybody. The outrage in the situation was almost entirely manufactured.
I agree the wardrobe malfunction was a bullshit reason, but it wasn’t a pasty. It was a piercing that looked like a sun and had her nipple through the center. Again, still BS reasoning being pushed by people with too much power.

Fair enough. The point was that it wasn’t accidental like they tried to play it off.
