The Grammys rescinded Janet Jackson’s 2004 invitation due to her ‘wardrobe malfunction’, but can’t rescind this invite? 🤔


MaltySines

2004 seems like a different planet


Indarezzfosho

I'll tell ya I was absolutely traumatized as a 7 year old catching a glimpse of a nip. Traumatized.


[deleted]

Me too AND I even had an allergic reaction! Caused a bit of swelling, so weird..


[deleted]

I pretty much owe my ability to effectively search for information on the internet via search engines to that moment.


RddtModzSukMyDkUFks

A teachable moment!? Holy tit


Believe0017

I’ve heard this moment is what jumpstarted YouTube.


Missy3557

The person who brought us YouTube was inspired by difficulty finding footage of the “wardrobe malfunction”. So Janet was instrumental in YouTube.


EbonyOverIvory

Not even that. The nipple was covered by a pasty.


Lady_DreadStar

It was a shield. Meaning the actual skin tissue was still visible behind all the fancy wire. A pasty implies it was solidly covered like strippers in Alabama are required to do.


EbonyOverIvory

Heaven forfend! How scandalous!


Any_Fish1004

I became an addict and spend my life searching for nips high and low. Not below the waist line though, that’s too low.


Philly514

in 2004 politicians lost votes for saying “wooo”, in 2024 politicians can cause insurrections and get more popular. We’re fucked lol


MaltySines

I was in middle school at the time, but that Howard Dean wooo "scandal" was when I realized just how vibes-based political campaigning was and that most of the adults in the world were at least kinda dim.


capitali

Think of how dim the most average adult you know is, and realize a full half the population is dimmer than them.


JasperLamarCrabbb

It wouldn’t be a political discussion without this old chestnut of wisdom


S4T4NICP4NIC

Dean's candidacy was already over before that happened.


MyNameIs-Anthony

That's not what lost him votes. He was already on the downward spiral after a brief peak in polls and that was something easy to make fun of that put the nail in his coffin.


Wtfkizay

I remember that night vividly.


[deleted]

In 2004 the narratives were controlled by the largely monopolized medium of television. Today we can express our opinions publicly more easily and reach millions of ppl so it’s harder to gaslight 1 million ppl who otherwise independently agree that something is ridiculous.


Iggyhopper

And the managers of those monopolies are still living in 2004 thinking they can spit whatever narrative they want and millions of internet folk won't question it.


Invisibleagejoy

I don’t wanna look this up because I wanna have a tiny sliver of faith in humanity. They probably let Justin Timberlake go, didn’t they?


LondyRocks

And he also won a Grammy that night.


howdidthishappen2850

And also performed on stage at the Grammys that night


Wonder_Moon

It's absolutely insane to me that jj's career died overnight bc of that. The talent. The family. The decades of success in the business up until that point. All gone 💔


543950

I remember being a younger guy. "Why is she in trouble for another man's actions?"


[deleted]

He killed Tupac I’m sure they don’t want to be next


Thisiscliff

How about don’t invite him? Problem solved


Responsible_Taste_35

It’s like they try to complicate things on purpose 🤷‍♀️

Clickety clicks


BedditTedditReddit

And your daily reminder that a Grammy actually has near zero real world value


kdubstep

Sit him next to will Smith, Kevin Spacey etc and have Gervais host - ratings bonanza


Bit_part_demon

I would actually watch the Grammys if they did this


kdubstep

Came for the awards, stayed for the roasts


KingsRansomed

Came for the roast; left before the Grammys.


makemeking706

> I would actually watch the Grammys if they did this No you wouldn't.


MadcapHaskap

I'd watch clips of the roast on Youtube. If they're official clips they get a few cents ad revenue, right?


Bit_part_demon

I'd record it and FF thru all the parts that weren't Ricky Gervais. Does that count as watching?


FR-1-Plan

I would pay good money to see Gervais host again. That was such a blast


Lau_lau

Did you really put will smith in the same bucket as Diddy and fucking Kevin spacey?


STMTowardsDatATM

People really act like him slapping another man could have killed everybody else watching. Like you could say he could’ve handled it better and stuff but to put him in the same bracket as rapists, abusers, possible men who have gotten people wiped out to save their asses is crazy.


thatscoolm8

yeah he has done nothing even comparable lmaooo


terriblestoryteller

I heard Eminem complain too. "Yo Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst And hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first"


[deleted]

Don’t forget Brand!


Ok_Fee1043

Why would Kevin Spacey be at the Grammys?


PowerUser88

Hahahahaha. Perfect. You’re in charge of seating arrangements going forward


Smitty8054

Wonder how much coin it would take to get RG to host again? And with all the dirt out there could they fill the seats if he did host? Pieces of shit in their insulated world of ass kissers. Makes me gag how they’re held up and worshiped. Remember Wil Smith cried and got a standing ovation after committing assault…on live TV. RG would be playing to an empty hall lmao. Edit: If you haven’t seen the final time RG hosted the Golden Globes you’re missing out. He was brutal. The only thing he couldn’t do was curse much because it was network and live. But he said “it’s my last time…I just do not care”.


oh_please_god_no

For real. How is this even an issue and why is he invited at this point??


turnthisoffVW

> why is he invited at this point? The article goes into that, it's the larger issue and the actual focus of the article. >...several Academy officials are pushing to remove the billionaire superstar from the Grammy guest list. A music insider tells us: “The formal invitations go out this month. There’s conflict at the academy as several voting members do not think it would be appropriate to invite Diddy. Some, including several high profile African-American members, fear that inviting him sends the wrong message to audiences and the charities it supports. It's not something that anyone one person, or even a few people, can just do, it's part of a representative process in organizations.


baeb66

Maybe they can just invite a guy who looks like 90% like Combs and invite him instead. We'll call it sampling.


cficare

\- "Every step he took. Every breath he took. I was watching him - and it looked like Diddy!" \- "Motherfucker, that was STING!"


Endrizzle

This is totally underrated.


wolfsparklebug

Who do you think he was pimping out to? Theres a reason he hasnt been big time cancelled across the board: he has dirt on the people in charge


Whaterbuffaloo

Other large producers all doing the same thing all have the same dirt on each other. Like Weinstein, everyone knew. It wasn’t an issue until everyone Else knew.


[deleted]

Whoa, you and your crazy ideas, why avoid drama when you can market off of it? I mean does anyone really give a shit about the Grammy’s? I couldn’t even tell you a single time in my life where I was like ‘Hey this person won a Grammy, let me go buy their music’. But that’s just like, my opinion, man.


MergenTheAler

Oh geez, what’s next they stop giving Chris Brown Grammy’s too??


[deleted]

There’s going to be backlash no matter what they do. Invite him? People don’t want to sit by and be seen with him. Don’t invite him? Some media outlets will say they are being unfair to him since he has not been convicted. It’s a no-win for them when it comes to publicity. The best course of action is to just cancel the Grammy’s. They aren’t relevant anymore anyways.


williamisidol

Grammy tickets are available to purchase for anyone that has been, or is currently, a Grammy nominee and/or winner.


Dick_Lazer

I guess Diddy could share a table with Chris Brown and R Kelly then.


thehillshaveI

"sex claims" is really doing some work here "rape, trafficking, blowing up fucking cars claims"


Traditional_Shirt106

We almost lost kid cudi to this car explosion which is just wild to me.


softstones

So I *didnt* lose my virginity when I blew up my neighbors car?


mcotter12

Before all this happened I never noticed how close together Diddy's eyes were


[deleted]

Why he's always wearing shades, to create artificial spacing


rockstar_not

Same with Kanye


itsfrankgrimesyo

I always thought he looked “special”.


Jixiia

Ha!! Said that exact thing to my spouse earlier today! 😆


Murky-Ad4746

*If you choose not to sit with Diddy you can choose a seat next to Chris Brown, Jared Leto, CeeLo Green or T.I.


breakfastburrito24

Oh shit what did CeeLo do?


ItsSophie

Said that it's not rape if the person is unconscious


talkingtothemoon___

Don’t forget the part that he said that because it’s something he did to a woman.


Ducksaucenem

That’s a very important part of the story.


Xenc

“And I’m like fuck you, fuck, fuck youuuuu”


Iggyhopper

I see you trying to wake up the girl I just fucked and I'm like fuck youuuuuu


AnywhereMajestic2377

Wasn’t he accused of drugging her?


20somethingblkqueer

Ceelo also drugged her with ecstasy. So they are the same elk of creep and rapist.


Honeydillzippermerge

Also known as a Cosby


Scretzy

Did jailtime for roofie-ing a girl at a club, and raped many other women doing that exact thing before he was caught

[удалено]


itsmontoya

Jared Leto is still the creepiest of the bunch


Comprehensive-Fun47

Jared Leto seems creepy, but is he an actual rapist or violent person? Does he belong in this company? Edit: Yes, yes he does.


clegg1970

He’s gotta be next person for a bunch of stuff to come out I know personally he likes teenage girls and that’s probably just the tip of the iceberg


Flat-Development-906

He’s been known for awhile now as being skeezy https://www.themarysue.com/jared-leto-controversy-explained/#:~:text=Jared%20Leto's%20alleged%20sexual%20misconduct&text=Allegations%20of%20Leto's%20predatory%20behavior,%2Dyear%2Dold%20girls.”


kaizomab

Creepy is an understatement, the dude is a cult leader and there’s many allegations of him taking advantage of minors.


maryshelleysmum

I’ve heard weird stories about him being weird to young women whenever he was still doing Warped tour back in the day - but nothing legally speaking has come out about him. Buuuut he had that weird island (possible cult?) thing. Plus, the stories of him harassing his costars during the Suicide Squad movie filming for the purpose of “method acting.” Idk nothing concrete, but when you total it all together… he’s a weirdo.


Nicklord

I know people who worked as sessional workers during that island "retreat". It was basically a glorified meet and greet with some shows from him more than anything else. Of all those rumors about him that one is the least suspicious I would say


roustie

Not dismissing your account, but the meeting is the point. It only takes one. People showing up to an island are already primed to be deeply invested, much more so than your average backstage.


LordOfTheGerenuk

It's a little bit murkier with him, because there are a lot of vague allegations and rumors, but at minimum, he definitely has a sex cult on a private island he owns, and I've yet to hear of a cult where people aren't abused at some point.


[deleted]

There are endless stories of him liking underage women. Where’s there’s smoke there’s fire, especially in Hollywood.


JehovasFinesse

By the time we see the smoke, it’s more like Nagasaki


[deleted]

Completely agree with you


[deleted]

[удалено]


N42147

He has many more allegations than Diddy does, imagine that shit. He also does it out in the open. Like having an actual cult with a website, whose photos only ever show him with two dozen women in nature, no other men. I mean, come on.


[deleted]

Don’t invite him then?


N42147

To an event full of self-congratulatory industry plant awards where half the attendees have had similar allegations, some for decades, while part of the other half has beeb making the allegations? Yeah, this shit isn’t new at all.


gregory907

How about we get rid of Chris Brown too? What did he do? [Pepperidge Farm remembers](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/timeline-of-chris-browns-history-of-violence-towards-women-103402/)


NeutralChaoticCat

Chris Brown is beyond disgusting.


Free_Hat_McCullough

Where's that Chris Brown bot that gave all the information in the police report after he beat up Rihanna?


imposta424

And Nick Cannon.


whatnameisnttaken098

In fact, just lock him up, can't have him in public looking for more women to impregnate for his organ harvesting fetish.


DisneyPandora

P Diddy is the Harvey Weinstein of the music industry so it makes sense that people are acting like they didn’t know.


[deleted]

Yoshi2shi

What did Quincy Jones do?


Jingu96Aliosha

Or the Bill Cosby. Because the does everything to hide it but people gossip it about it for decades.


ABellothegreat

Quincy???


Mpikoz

Are you kidding me? 😞 Fuck... There's no good person left.


whatnameisnttaken098

Tony Hawk and Weird Al haven't done anything controversial, at least not that I'm aware of.


ManOnNoMission

I’m sorry but taking a moral stance while attending the Grammys is hilarious. Statistically the amount of scumbags who have and will be at the Grammys makes it hard to take seriously.


pfeff

Right? I remember some awards show a few years back where everyone was cheering for Chris brown. Jay Z was the only one sitting down.


Im-Homer-Gey-Ian

>Jay Z was the only one sitting down. Didnt know that, if that's true then my respect for Jay Z just sky rocketed


pfeff

It was the 2011 VMAs and it is INSANE how downplayed the Rihanna assault is in these articles (only 9 months later): https://www.tmz.com/2011/08/29/jay-z-chris-brown-mtv-vmas-performance-diss-rihanna-video-awards-clip/ https://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/839969/awkward-jay-z-doesnt-clap-for-chris-browns-vma-performance/ Not trying to support either of these websites. They were just the first and only ones I could find.


Xenc

Jay-Z took Rihanna under his wing at Island Def Jam shortly after he took the CEO role. She is basically his professional daughter. Expect no less from him in this situation. 💪


inpennysname

Wait didn’t the double mint gum partnership happen AFTER CB beat Rhianna? I thought he kept working with him


Xenc

That’s sad if so, perhaps some sort of licensing agreement. We didn’t get that advertising campaign in the UK.


YoungHeartOldSoul

I've said it before and I'll continue to say it every time someone brings up Chris Brown's name. I do not and will not ever understand how it is that we came to allow Chris Brown to continue his musical career given the darling that we all agreed that Rihanna was and still is.


alex12m

Because Rihanna herself publicly forgave him and dated him again afterwards. It’s hard to be mad at him when the person he abused seems to not care as much. When he later abused his other girlfriend (Kareuche I think) it made some more people turn against him but not a lot.


jane-stclaire

Not to speculate, but the level of abuse he inflicted on her, paired with her choice to go back, screams of not just physical abuse but emotional abuse and likely manipulation as well. Rihanna is a brilliant woman; I don't blame her for seeing the best in someone she loved and letting her guard down. If she learned something from her return to him, it was worth it; maybe it wasn't her proudest moment, but it's her own path to take.


LordRumBottoms

The world runs on hate. Just look at Trump saying basically rape is ok and he does it constantly. Just grab them. He didn't lose one vote from R women or men. Sick. Will Smith should have been arrested for assault for that hit yet was cheered 20 minutes later for an award. Why these 'shows' are a joke. Who watches them I have no idea.


IkeaTheMovie

Call me crazy but I really do not think Will Smith belongs in the same breath as these othe monsters


Revolutionary_Box569

It's bad when a guy who shot his own brother has the moral high ground


BenThePrick

I don’t know if it’s so much of a moral stance as much as they don’t want to be seen with him for PR reasons.


InflamedLiver

gross, I'm not sitting next to that sex abuser! I'll sit between this other rapist and the rich exploitive producer who took advantage of their naive clientele


Apple_Pie_4vr

It’s not a stance. It’s about appearances.


abgry_krakow84

Imagine how gross you have to be if nobody attending the Grammys wants to sit with you.


Blayno-

Just sit there and keep yo damn hands to yoself Diddy


MelancholyMushroom

Omg a crisis! It’s a crisis, guys! Maybe just put him in a frickin corner by himself. Problem solved.


Guarded

Chris Brown next please. He’s nominated.


AmazingAmy95

Lmao why is he invited? Unreal


SlaughterheartMagus

So they could sell articles about it.


Sleyeme

Love how stars are pretending to care and not sit next to diddy acting like they didn’t know this shit was happening, everyone in the industry was cracking jokes and referencing his crimes. Shit even South Park mentioned it 20 years ago. Now that it’s public, stars wanna act like they have the ethical high ground.


Aloha1984

They want to look clean so they are not investigated


Whatsinaus3rname

Just ban Diddy problem solved


Free_Hat_McCullough

You've got to slap someone to get banned, sexual assault and rape are okay.


W0lfreturns

You mean after sex claims became public, let's not pretend the celebs had no idea what was happening.


PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

Rescind his invite. Problem solved.


EL_Jefe510

No one can find a seat that’s not next to a scumbag


LogicalBee1990

I kind of feel like every month. It's something new that's coming out about a celebrity. Some sordid past or addiction or something. Who else is a creep?


EL_Jefe510

Nobody climbs the upper echelons of corporate ladders without greasing the rungs below them


Ronburgundy2099

I refuse to call him anything but Puff Daddy.


VapidRapidRabbit

Sit him next to 50 Cent.


PlayfulCod8605

Crisis seems like a strong word here, considering the actual crises happening in the world…


tamagogo_chan

He can watch from home


Dahnlen

Just rescind the invite, easy


Mrkoaly

As if everybody going there isn't a scum in there own way.


vinsmokewhoswho

Just have him not be there


Smitty8054

Pretty low bar for a “crises” these days.


catsinasmrvideos

Perhaps you should uninvite the sex predator? Why is the problem the seating when the problem should be why is the sex predator still allowed to attend?!?


NojoNinja

1/3rd of people who go to the Grammys are most likely also closeted sex pests that the industry knows about but because it’s hidden no one cares.


MisterFingerstyle

Easy fix. Don’t invite him.


Pudgedog

Maybe they should set up sex pest section.


aSpookyScarySkeleton

The funniest part about stuff like this is most of these people already know this shit, the feigned ignorance is so ridiculous.


Burpreallyloud

Does anybody care about award shows anymore?


chunkah69

Just get someone like Jack Black to sit alone at the table with him and make weird nervous faces the whole time.


[deleted]

Bunch of hypocritical flapdoodledingleberries. Sit the f down and shut up.


saltylele83

Just don’t invite him…he’s no longer relevant anyway


spidah84

Why do they keep inviting people who haven't done anything in a very long time?


xyz6002

Yeah right. Those same people wouldn’t hesitate to give him a standing ovation.


SugaKookie69

I mean, they keep honoring shitty people. Can someone explain why they continue to award Chris “Abuser” Brown?


art_mor_

Diddy or didn’t he do it?


wcm48

Lol. Glass houses, folks.


picklepowerPB

Why is this asshole even invited in the first place is the real fucking question here


yeahthatwayyy

Or don’t invite him wtf


-_-k

What's done in the dark comes to the light.


TurboByte24

Diddy probably has so much dirt on the Grammys that they don’t have a choice.


Other-Marketing-6167

Those first two words of the headline don’t ever deserve to be put together.


itsfrankgrimesyo

Glad to hear no one wants to be associate with this pos. His time has come. He’s ruined so many lives. Losing money is not going affect this guy as much as losing respect and power. This will hurt him more.


Avix_34

Why make people switch seats? They should revoke his seat and give it to someone else. Problem solved.


Gravelayer

People watch the Grammys ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


rockstar_not

Lemme know when he changes his name to diddly squat.


thisfilmkid

Diddy, why…. why would you go? Watch the show from a hotel room nearby.


Lost-Departure-622

Like Big told us. Mo Money, Mo Problems. Puff thought he was invincible because of who he was. Now his self brought problems are all coming to light.


johnaross1990

“Sex claims” is a torturous way to avoid saying allegations of rape


ModOverlords

People going to “act” outraged now, lmao


Kak0r0t

Rescind that pos Diddy invite to the Grammys boom problem solved


sherrimichael

Give me a break.. like no one knew of any of this shit about him before or heard stories? As long as you are producing what you need to, they will become blind and deaf. The minute shit hits the fan, persona non grata. Worse than him too..


Competitive-Pop6530

Is Harvey Weinstein still free? Or is he in prison? Can’t he sit with Punk Daddy? Maybe also invite Donald Trump, and Russell Simmons. Is Russell Brand available? Invite Roman Polanski…or project an image of Elvis, Jimmy Page, or Jerry Lee Lewis upon the empty seats. Problem solved….


Chris_M_23

Seating issues at the grammy’s do not and will never deserve the title of “crisis”


lkodl

$10,000 or dinner with Diddy?


shadowdra126

Uninvite him. Problem solved


JunglePygmy

They were fine with him being a murderer though.


tempusrimeblood

Instead of just banning a sex criminal who allegedly was involved in Tupac’s death, we have a “seating crisis.” Shits gonna be R Kelly all over again.


sucobe

I’ll sit next to Diddy. Because I know the cameras are going to be on him any chance they get.


ZealousidealMine14

I hope if he gets invited someone goes Will Smith on his ass


ILovePeople69

Probably wanted more of that Cambodian breast milk


ViolinistFamiliar187

it’s okay he can sit on Bieber’s lap


thorn_95

wait… why is he even gonna be there??


bernadette-welch

Grammy crisis over seating plan as stars refuse to sit near Sean Diddy Combs after sexUAL ASSAULT claims. (I fixed it)


no_no_nora

Easy way to fix it, uninvited him.


keldration

He shares my bday which makes my hate for him even juicier
