Janet Jackson was Anderson Cooper’s special guest this week on his daytime talk show, Anderson. The superstar discussed her feelings about the sudden death of Whitney Houston, and offered advice to Whitney’s daughter Bobbi Kristina.
Anderson: What advice do you have for her family for her kid. For her child?
Janet: It’s a very very tough time. Even though it’s still a loss. I lost my brother, she lost her mother. There’s still a difference, even though there’s a still a loss to a family, I don’t know what that’s like being so young. It was hard for me. It was very very difficult for me. I didn’t want to accept it, it’s very difficult. You have to come to terms at some point, you have to actually give it up to God and it sounds so mean but you have to move on you can’t hold onto that because it can be very devastating. Sometimes therapy is the best thing.
Anderson: TV People always use that word closure when they are talking about loss, as someone who has lost family members as well, I don’t think there is such a thing as closure. I think that’s a made up TV word.
Janet: No, I don’t think there is either, but you have to go on with life. You figure out a way to move on. It’s always right here. There’s never a day, not one day has gone by where I don’t think about my brother and my other brothers and sisters say the same thing.
Watch video clips of the interview after the break. Tune in to Anderson on Monday, Feb 20, for the full interview.
Janet on Whitney Houston Passing
Janet’s Advice to Bobby Kristina
Janet on Whitney As A Performer
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GETTING “OVER” SOMEBODY DEATH… I AGREE LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT..
THAT BOBBI FINDS PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING..
Janet is giving me fever in that above pic hawt
I hope that Bobbi Kris finds peace and understanding but it will take some time. (Peace & love to Bobbi Kris)
Sup GAGIRL
Janet looks great, lubs her
I am
so hard for Bobbi K and the rest of the family as they need it right now.
On another note, Janet looks gorgeous in that pic. Is that what nutrisystem does to you?
I agree
it takes time and everybody greive different,
@ Dimpz…left a message for you in the last post!
yayyyyy! jan is back to long hair!!!!!
I’m just gon’
for Bobbi!
Janet face is beat like eggs for breakfast. Bytch u betta werk
Janet looks GAWJUS! She just keeps getting better with age! Love the hair! I too pray for BobbyChris, it will be a long journey ahead but I think she’ll make it through, she is surrounded by people who love and care for her. As strong as Whitney’s faith was, I’m sure BobbyC has it too. Godblessher!
Chit Janet looking like she saying, say it, just say it …
Bish looks good!
I see Janet has upgraded on her plastic surgeon.
OH AND JANET LOOKS GAAWWGEOUS!!
BISH WHO BAD??
I agree with Janet. The thing with Janet is she is older and Bobbi is younger and has few positive people in her life. Everyone is out for selling stories and getting money. I pray she finds peace and comfort in those who TRULY love her.
OK…I bet ya’ll gonna slaughter me but I always HATED the name Boobi Kristina…Just like when I named my son Aidyn and my daddy was like “where the fluck you get that name from? I ain’t never heard of no shyt like that”
Bobbie got Montana on speed dial…

Man, I just don’t care™ says:

I wonder why Janet didn’t receive that much backlash about her new weight loss endorsement deal as JHUD. Many people think that they both had surgery however Jhud was dragged through the mud.
@ Ace
Not sure
Bobbi K needs a break from reality after the funeral IMO

———–
I am on year 11 and inside it is that day and that day all over again. Sorta like ground hog day. She is correct therapy helps, I never went for those things but I should have and I might… one day cause it will handicap you in so many ways.
Janet looks good, I want to sop her up with a biscuit.
Hold up, call me insensitive but,….
Children lose their parents everyday, lets not forget that. Most which are under 18 and are no where as financially well off as Bobbi Kristina. Just because she was/is the child of 2 celebrities what makes her any different from other kids who lose their mom / dad…. sorry I just read something online that pissed me all the way off. A co-worker of mine, whom I hate by the way, lost his dad at 10, his brother was 8. He hung himself and he found him (probably reason for why he is the way he is) but nonetheless he had a very hard life afterwards, grieving and financially. What’s makes Bobbi K any more special because she lost her mom verses the 10s of thousands of kids who lose a parent every year. Half of you don’t know her or never met her mom.. Why is the world stopping to grieve 1 person, when people are dying every minute……
OK …so question for the women…
last i saw Janet was bout bald…she get hair plugs or something? those tracks or a wig?
Ace
Janet is looking hawt!!!
@OTB I did answer you in the chris brown post, but yes that is me!!! <–
Janet looks AWESOME!!!!!!!
I actually like girl names that sound like they could be boy names: Bobbi, Taylor, etc.
but boys walking around with names like Ashley …
Who thought Janet had surgery? Ive never heard that!
Damita Jo’s weight has fluctuated for years. Well documented thin and thick.

============
I think people may have been used to Janet being skinny and a had temporary lapse, whereas JHud always been big then pop up as a size “0”. Maybe. I won’t express my feelings on how I feel about Jenny Craig, Nurtisystem and the like. It probably won’t be popular.
Hey Smonae80
Ion even like Janet but she is cuuuuuuuun-t in these stills!
Werk!
But, I will say in the same breath. I am sorry this child lost her mom at 18, … I lost my grandfather last year who raised me, and a year later it is still hard. But I think I am just going to leave it at that..
I’ll take it a step further and call you an INSENSITIVE AZZHOLE
I missed it @Dallas! Its good to see your face beauty!

Janet…you heifer you LOOK GOOD! (That’s a compliment)
So well said Ms.Jackson.
There is no such thing as closure and as human beings we know that is a journey we must complete. Loss is something you never get over. I’m internally grateful that I lived/raised by my grandparents until I was 12. I lost my grandmother 3 months after my daughter died. LAWD I SWEAR I wanted to be buried that day. I CUT UP AT THAT Funeral, I did evrything but try and climb in the casket. I continue to greive the loss on special occasions or when something comes up and wish I could ask my grandma or when I see a girl that would be my daughters age. You learn to cope, and it gets easier but you never forget.
@Nicca aka Charles aka Yall’s alter ego…
I’ll accept that…
Either half wig or tracks.
@JMO…my friends daughter’s name is Bryce….I LOVE IT!!!
JANET!
Carry on.
OTB … I thought many people always assumed that Janet has had surgery? I can’t really say if I did or if I didn’t
@Zoe … what do you think about it? My dad joined weight watchers and has lost about 70lbs but then again he was a big dude
@ #IDCIYDKMN I love your gravie
Children and parents passinf away is tough and if no one has been through that, they really can’t comprehend the magnitude.
@Roc … love that!!!!
*SIGH*
As I go in on Damita Jo
…BRB…This is gonna get ugly. If yall thought I had words for Celine and Chaka… 
@ Cali how old was your daugter of you don’t mind me asking?
What kinda words does Janet have for Bobbi Kristina? Janet…dontchu got an eating disorder? Since like 1979?
OTB Thank you!! :hugs:
GA, that was my jam yo!
Doncha wanna dance wit me baby? 
Damn Janet’s face is BEAT baybeee! She’s looking really good!!!!
i lost my mom at 27 i was mature enough to handle death, but if i was kristinas age, i woulda flipped as well and been inconsolable. death is so hard, and you never get over it. ESP with someone so young. kris has her grandmom and dad at least. i hope she’ll be ok
get into janets flawless face, she is snatched and her wig is always on point
@Roc – My BF son’s is named Bryce, it was her maiden name.

Okay, you asked. I think some of those are bandaids. While some have benefited, most probably haven’t. We have to learn how to eat well. That means eating from the earth, drinking water, exercising daily. Why pay all this money for someone to tell you this. I view it as a pyramid scheme.
Janet..when you were BK’s age…weren’t you in a secret marriage with a dude who is a member of an extra crakish family?

_____________________________________________________
Wow, TheRealAshland! Forgive us for praying for a poor young lady who just lost a parent! Regardless of her being well off or not, she is still without a mother. My heart goes out to any person who loses someone very close, only difference is those million of people are faceless at the moment and BobbyC is not! Nobody is giving her extra prayer because her mom was a celebrity, we’re simply offering solace to a child and family that is obviously hurting. I’m going to pray for you to for assuming that status makes a difference when it comes to loss! JMHO.
Ace just begging for a
in a chest today, ain’t he? 
kdub wont let nobody be great, every celeb is gwaan get it!!
@GAGIRL87 what ? .. If you look as to how some of these people are going on about this online,.. It’s ridiculous. I wasn’t a huge Whitney fan, but I enjoyed some of her movies.. but with everything else going on in the world peoples priorities are killing me. Maybe I am insensitive because of things that have recently happened to me but,..
Didn’t Janet and Whitney have beef…over EDDIE MURPHY?

oh ok … I definitely agree with that … I also think that its misleading to consumers to have these public figures endorse these programs because in reality, we don’t have the same resources they do (personal chef, nutritionist 24/7 etc.)
Hell, a bunch of people can look like them if they joined the program and had those same resources

Yeah that was VERY insensitive just b/c she’s grown and more well do than others doesn’t mean she hurts ANY less over the loss of her mother. People are people and we all have feelings….
I don’t remember anyone saying she was special or different @TheRealAshland. Anytime someone loses a parent it’s hard, no matter who it is. Words of encouragement are always a good thing. I don’t get your point.
I cannot wait to see this interview. Damita Jo is looking FIERCE!
As for Bobbi Kris, I hope she is able to mourn the loss of her mother in privacy. The paps are not going to leave her alone. Which in itself is a shame.
And another thing, and I will end my rant (i promise) all these celebrities are speaking out while the topic is still hot, but who is going to be there for Bobbi K, Bobby Brown, her mom etc, a few months from now when they are still grieving and this isn’t such a hot story?….
Yall know Janet flucked Bobby Brown too right?
————————————-
Yes she did. And yet she sitting her last name Jackson azz up on AC knowing she done see Bobbi Kristina daddy NEKKID.
nobody parodied Whitney like Debra from MADTv

Exactly! Janet has said that she has a personal trainer that drags her out of bed and makes her work out. Shucks, it costs a buttload just to have a trainer at the Y. These celebs need to be honest, but then they wouldn’t keep these endorsements
I actually feel moer sorry for her (since she’s in the public eye). I lost my mother at 18 and I still think about her daily.
That’s tough for a young girl, who doesn’t know anything about life, I’m talmbout BobbiK…

Whoever said there was a difference? Me myself, I pray for everyone in the world every night as well when I hear stories like this whether locally or nationally. We don’t know your co-worker or his situation, but you do, so you pray for him, or maybe ask others to pray for him or others when situations occur.
@Zoe abbbbbsolutely!! :fistbump:
I still like eat like a phat girl occassionally

So does Janet. Prolly more than occassionally.

So what exactly are they supposed to do, ignore it and not give their condolences?
@TerriB his racist fat behind needs more than prayer.. but my rant was directed towards something I read online today.
Good question Yso
@NAIJA
Right. Debra did a good Oprah too.
im sure kris would give up all the riches and fame for her momma back
Yso & Naija, the singer Adele reminds me of the Saturday night live chick (can’t recall her name)

@SIS
Actually I think everyone is a hypocrite when it comes to something or someone. Me included.
@GA GIRL – Sorry I missed the question, no big deal! I was 25 weeks pregnant, she was born weighing 1 pound 6 ounces and lived for 2 weeks. My son was born weighing 1 pound 1 ounce and is now 14 years old. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out why she didn’t live, but it wasn’t meant for her to be here, I learned incredible lessons about pain and grief and went on to work with families with children terminal diagnosis. I’m certain that was the season that God planned for me at that time.

—————————————-
Not nobody! That is my point! Nobody is perfect! Folks want to sit up here and offer advice, etc. insight on what shoulda coulda mighta went down. The lady is GONE. RIP.
As MURCH as I LOVE Mariah I went in on HUH too. Bish didn’t you have a mental breakdown on MTV? Didn’t you suck your way to a record deal? I want all these folks to go back to the crack from whence they CAME!
i dunno why some people get so offended at the press and fans when certain people die. like MJ, whitney sold MILLIONS of records around the world, had a beautiful voice that crossed genres. the world seen her rise and her fall. people get emotionally involved with celebs. thats part of it. for ex: we seen beyonce as a teenager in DC grow up get married, she had a kid, and people are happy for her. some get emotionally involved, and thats that
but dont tear down anyone else
if you dont care
(rant over)
Cali I had a 26 weeker but she was 2.6 and they kept saying she was “big” and I just was “no”. I understand that now tho.
That neonatal unit is a hard place, but full of love.

But sometimes those are the people who could possibly offer good adice. Not because their lives were perfect, but because they’ve made the same mistake too, so they can advise tell you were they went wrong and help you out so you don’t go down that same road.
Yeah neonatal gave a bish PTSD…Couldn’t stand to hear that freaking beeping. Had a phobia about hospitals, babies,….a whole bunch of mess, but God is good, he has the power to heal.
I’ll listen to advice from someone with bad credit all day as well as someone with good credit, so I know not to do what they did. Evaluate both sides.
@KDUB
Very true but folks ALWAYS come out of the woodwork at times like this. People need to be relevant again for a few more minutes and networks need filler and juicy sound bites. Gone be a lot of phony BS for the next little while.
I think this Whitney thing gone get as bad as or worse than MJ.

But I’m just saying, we don’t know about everyone’s situation in the world, so we can’t comment on them. Doesn’t mean they are any different. just means we don’t know about them and what’s going on with them.
Okay she got a Nutrisystem commercial out…When was the last time Janet even DID an interview? She is KNOWN for her privacy. But she up here on Andy Coopa offering adivce and whatnot. And she fugged this chile pappy. And had beef with her momma over what we NOW KNOW is some homosexual azz dack? Only in Hollywood I tell you. Cause this? Is hypocritical at BEST. These folks we don’t hear not ish from but here they come all out like roaches in the LIGHT somebody passes.

@KDUB
It’s crazy cause this even happens in non famous families. People that you ain’t NEVER fcked with in life want to come around after you dead and eat and drank in your honor when they wouldn’t even share a table with your ass before.
That’s why I hate funerals. I’ll say my goodbyes when we are alone cause I cannot stand those smiling faces telling lies over the bodies of my loved ones.
Cuz janet works out hud dsnt. Find one pic on the net of hud appropriately wearing spandex and leavin a gym…. janet is that chick. Look at her.team them bishes j.
Thanks for giving us the heads up for this. I gotta definitely tune in, cause I don’t want to miss this interview.

We grew up w/Janet. We’ve seen her weight go up and down. When we were introduced to JHud she was already a plus size woman.

There is no such thing as closure and as human beings we know that is a journey we must complete. Loss is something you never get over.

I continue to greive the loss on special occasions or when something comes up and wish I could ask my grandma or when I see a girl that would be my daughters age. You learn to cope, and it gets easier but you never forget.
——-
I agree with you i think of the ones i’ve lost and life does go on but you NEVER forget.
I think some people are forgetting that
1. She didn’t do this interview because she wanted to talk about Whitney
2. She was asked the questions about Whitney I think she answered well.
Every celebrity and there mama are gonna be asked about it for the next few weeks.
I lost my Mother in 1995…she died in my arms from a long battle of Breast Cancer. I was only 20 years old. I still cry from time to time. You NEVER get over losing a parent, you just learn to cope with it.
I’m praying for Bobbi Kristina. I pray that God protects her and shield her from people who mean no good to her. I pray He keeps her strong through this trying time and keep her safe (from herself as well). I’m very sadden by Whitney’s death. I don’t know why it is heavy on my mind so but it is.
