It's no secret that Janet Jackson and her brother, Michael Jackson, were close, but she opened up about how their relationship changed in the JanetJacksonDoc
The pop icon looks back at her turbulent past, especially her struggle to step out of her family's shadow and her shifting relationship with the brother she idolized, Michael.
"There were times when Mike used to tease me and call me names. 'Pig, horse, slaughter hog, cow,'" Janet revealed in the series, sharing how she often struggled with her body image and confidence while growing up in the spotlight."He would laugh about it and I'd laugh too, but then there was somewhere down inside that it would hurt... When you have somebody say you’re too heavy, it affects you.
Even as Janet's career blossomed after her tumultuous marriage to James DeBarge and she let their father Joe go as her manager, she was still living under the weight of the Jackson name.
"When that came out, Coca-Cola said, 'No, thank you,'" she revealed."Guilty by association. That’s what they call it, right?"
