Janette Jackson, the sister of the late superstar Michael Jackson, made shocking comments about the life experience of Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States and the current Democratic presidential candidate.
The female singer told reporters in the interview that she denied Vice President Harris’ identity and background, saying that she was not of black descent. It's like one stone triggered a thousand waves, and people criticized Janet Jackson online. Soon, Jackson responded, "apologizing to Harris." However, on September 22, things took a major turn.
Jackson's spokesman revealed to the media that Jackson has not yet made this move. What's going on? Jackson issued an apology, but not from her? In order to smooth out the relationship, let’s start with her questioning the parentage of Vice President Harris.
. Janet Jackson was criticized for questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ parentage.
html In early September, Jackson was interviewed by a reporter from the British "Guardian". When asked by reporters if America would have its first female black president, the 58-year-old surprisingly responded: "Well, you know what they said?" "She's not black. That's what I've heard. "She's an Indian." "That's what I heard. I haven't seen the news for a few days." The reporter asked. Janet, does she think America is ready for Harris to take office. "I don't know," she whispered. "Honestly, I don't want to answer that question because I really, really don't know. I think it would be confusing either way." "I heard she and her sister were being treated as Raised by two black women."
Such an answer made the star look very funny and ignorant. Her knowledge of politics and the country was limited to hearsay. The most incredible thing is that she actually brought these unreliable rumors to the public in a formal setting. You know, what a bad impact this will have. As an online post criticizing Jackson wrote, "The Janet Jackson incident shows the public how out of touch with reality and ignorant some celebrities are."
In fact, Harris's father is a cancer expert and was born in India . Her mother is a Jamaican black economist. The couple married in the 1960s and separated in the 1970s due to emotional discord and different views. Harris' father died of cancer in 2009 at the age of 70. His mother is still alive and serves as an emeritus professor at Stanford University. What a distinguished family background!
This remark immediately attracted a lot of criticism because it inadvertently echoed comments made by former President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump about Harris. American voters believe that Trump's evaluation of the vice president is vicious, mean, and personally offensive.
As early as July at the National Black Journalists Conference in Chicago, Trump gave a speech and said that Harris "happened to become black." The implication is that Harris is trying to pretend to be of black descent to win votes from people of color. He also said: "She has always had Indian ancestry, and she only promoted Indian ancestry." "I didn't know she had black ancestry until the past few years. She happened to become black, and now she wants everyone to know she is black. "I respect everyone, but she obviously doesn't respect everyone. She has always been Indian and she deceived the people."
Many conservatives are very angry about these comments, even Trump himself. supporters are dissatisfied. They criticized Trump for not doing his job properly and for not attacking Harris's claims and views. He actually lacks common sense about the concept of "mixed race". This time, Trump failed to catch the chicken and lost the rice.On the other hand, Harris seemed very calm and natural, saying that Trump was just engaging in an "old-fashioned show" that was "meaninglessly divisive" and "disrespectful." However, Harris did not respond to Jackson's remarks.
Jackson's words sparked a strong and swift response online, with many readers calling her words "ignorant," "irresponsible," and "very disappointing."
tweeted: "Janet Jackson sounded like a complete idiot in the interview and I'm so disappointed." Janet Jackson is one of the most influential people in music history. She repeats what she hears The comments against Kamala are simply irresponsible,” another post read. "We have less than 50 days until the election. We should speak smarter!"
and "I've always liked her, but repeat lies!" If you know nothing about a topic, don't talk about it. Please increase your knowledge! "
. Did Jackson herself admit that her remarks about Harris were "based on misinformation"?
Jackson pushed herself to the forefront. According to media reports, she told the media on September 21 that "her words were wrong." Confusingly, the person who came out to apologize was a man named mo elmasri.
He submitted a statement to the US news aggregation website Buzzfeed, saying that Janet's remarks were "based on." misinformation," and said she apologized for "any confusion caused." He also told BuzzFeed: "She deeply respects Vice President Kamala and what she has accomplished as a black and Indian woman. “Janet was misled in this matter. Janet cherishes the diversity that Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating diversity in today's society. I want to join Janet in promoting unity and understanding. "
Who is El Masri? Buzzfeed was the first social media to report Jackson's apology. When it published the letter of apology, it also reported El Masri's identity. In this apology statement, El Masri Masri claims to be Jackson's agent and is a well-known blogger who runs the social media or platform pages that have confirmed El-Masri's identity, as well as Deadline. (deadline) and celebrity service. Elmasri is listed as Jackson's manager on both social media imdb pages. According to Elmasri's personal imdb page, he is a The Egyptian film producer "now serves as a creative consultant to several global stars, including Janet Jackson"
However, a dramatic moment emerged shortly after El Masri wrote an apology letter to BuzzFeed following Jackson's statement. People told Variety magazine that the "apology" made by El Masri on behalf of Jackson was not authorized by Jackson at all - another spokesperson came, so did the El Masri in front of him represent Jackson? What’s even more interesting is that when Variety asked Elmasri to comment again, he declined: “I don’t work for her anymore. I was fired by Janet and Randy Jackson because I was trying to improve her image in public opinion and with her fans. I'm not qualified to do this. "The drama has emerged that Janet Jackson's apology to Harris was not her own.
The Daily Beast also reported similar news, saying that Elmasri was in an email to the newspaper. , said “Janet Jackson made unfair remarks during an interview with a reporter from The Guardian. Then there was a disagreement between me, her and Randy, and they fired me. "El Masri also added in the email, "That's all I can say. There are too many calls to answer. I will fully support Kamala Harris. "
So who is Janet Jackson's manager? According to Variety magazine, Jackson's business is actually managed by her brother Randy Jackson.The real economic man is her brother. What about this El Masri? Thirty Mile Zone (TMZ), an entertainment news website owned by AOL, confirmed that Elmasri had no relationship with Jackson, and that Jackson himself has not issued any apology to Harris.
turns around again and again, which is really confusing. Since Elmasri had nothing to do with Jackson, why did he apologize to Harris on Jackson’s behalf? For what motive? To gain popularity, gain presence or attract Jackson's attention? Neither side gave a clear answer. When the Daily Beast reporter wanted Randy Jackson to clarify the matter, he could not be contacted. At this time, the Jackson and his wife were in a foreign country, attending the funeral of their brother Tito Jackson. Tito died on September 15.
