Report: Janet Jackson To Document Divorce, Motherhood, & More On Netflix Special

Published: Wednesday 31st May 2017 by Rashad

While things haven’t exactly gotten nasty (yet) between pop icon Janet Jackson and soon-to-be-ex-husband Wissam Al Mana, the diva is reportedly in talks with Netflix to do a documentary series about her life as a newly single woman, new mother, and so much more.

Jackson, the fiercely private performer who’s been fairly mum since the separation announcement (other than her short, but telling video announcing the reboot of her postponed tour and confirming the separation rumors), will reportedly also use the streaming special as a vehicle to push new music.

Sources say:

“The show will run as a ten-part documentary and will feature recording ­sessions in the studio, co-parenting her child with Wissam and preparing for the European and Asian legs of her tour. Netflix [is] negotiating a big sum for the rights to the show as they expect it to perform well…”

*****

Exciting times for Janet fans!

    SAD DAY WHEN JANET AND MARIAH ARE JOINING REALITY TV AND CALLING THEM DOCUMENTARIES. STILL SHOCKING THAT QUEEN WHITNEY EVER DID IT. I ONCE HEARD MARY WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IT WITH HER EX. THE ONLY PERSON GETTING IT RIGHT SO FAR IS TONI BRAXTON, THANKFULLY HER SISTERS ARE ON IT AS WELL. TONI KEEPS HER NAME AND REP INTACT. I PRAY BEYONCÉ NEVER DOES OR CELINE DION.

      lol beyonce fans really are idiots. a netflix special & a reality show are two different things stupid. PLENTY of current stars are doing netflix specials nowadays. that struggle thief beyonce you stan for will end up on a ratchet reality show before long just like britney ended up in vegas in no time.

      • Eryc Snow May 31, 2017

        Well Said

    • SMH May 31, 2017

      Yes, beyonce fans are true idiots lol. Must be upset because anytime she tries to do a TV special it always ends up a massive ratings flop.

      • Tim Brown May 31, 2017

        Exactly

      • DanYiel Iman May 31, 2017

        Hasn’t seen anything that she has done become a flop, her music speaks for itself & like you her original HATER doing what you do best by calling her fans idiots because she does what others CAN’T do!! SELL SELL SELL!!

    • Pat May 31, 2017

      Beyonce is so overatted. Thank God she’s on a decline! Better follow Xscape and hit up Kelly and Michelle!

      Well at least unlike Mariah who I love to pieces, Janet is doing it right. She chose Netflix over a network like E! or even worse VH1 or Bet. Now Janet always been a smart businesswoman. She have never attach her name to anything that didn’t make sense or would ruin her good name.

  2. pat May 31, 2017

    I don’t think things will get nasty between them. Wissam now has a son and future generations who will have control of the Janet Jackson catalog. He’s benefited from Janet as much if not more than she from him. I can’t wait to watch this though!! I have to subscribe to netflix again….lol

    • gina May 31, 2017

      lmao chile please, janet’s catalog and control of it will always belong to janet, she has already made sure of that.

      • pat May 31, 2017

        janet (like all of us will die one day) her son will gain control

    • Josh June 14, 2017

      You are a fool if you think Janet would give her soon-to-be-ex-husband or anybody of that matter. full control of her catalog. She is way smarter than that. I mean, she is Joe’s daughter. When she die, everything will go to her son the same way Michael left everything to his kids. Don’t get it twisted. Janet always been a smart businesswoman and very hands-on with everything that goes on in her career.

    THIS IS AGREAT EXPOSURE FOR JANET AND HER UPCOMING TOUR!
    FINALY AFTER 10 YEARS WE SEE MORE OF JANET
    THIS IS GREAT TIMES FOR JANET FANS!
    I CANT WAIT FOR THE TOUR AND THE DOCUMENTARIE!

    • Jeans May 31, 2017

      Yes, great exposure!!!

  4. Indie May 31, 2017

    If this sis true it would be amazing1 Times have changed and although there was a time when artist, kept the door closed on there life, letting people in just a touch and in a classy manner has paid off for people like Monica, Mariah etc, Radio gives no love to seasoned artist so you have to be creative in how you promote yourself and Netflix associated with independent classy film and tv making so I think it would be awesome!

  5. SMH May 31, 2017

    AWESOME! I also have a feeling The Queen is gonna include all of her tours in that deal as well. Cannot wait, nobody slays like Janet f*cking Jackson!

    • Jeans May 31, 2017

      Yesssss, me too! Could be the start of a great relationship with Netflix to air her previous tours! Come thru janet!!!

      It will probably be like Beyonces Life is but a dream, but way better! Lol.

  6. SAVAGE_beast May 31, 2017

    I agree janet please don’t do this I hope this is just a rumor.

  7. I HATE WHITE and BLACK B****..,,,,ES.. May 31, 2017

    Janet should be gettin $$$ he is a billionaire.,,,…and his. Religious belief may be the reason for the divorce he can’t handle her performing and her lifestyle

    • Caleb June 1, 2017

      Sounds like you’re making unconfirmed assumptions.

  8. eric May 31, 2017

    I don’t want to see another reality series. I would though care to see another documentary like the ones for Rhythm Nation 1814 and “If”.

  9. Jeans May 31, 2017

    Yassss, as long as it’s not the train wreck that was Mariahs.

    • Theman May 31, 2017

      But that wasn’t a train wreck though..

      • Jeans May 31, 2017

        No, not completely, but at some points, YESS! Lol

  10. ka May 31, 2017

    This should be nice behind the scenes clips to see how Janet operates her business, I’ll check out the Queen doing her thing.

  11. Casual June 1, 2017

    This is a great move. She will air the docu-series as a pre-cursor to her big Netflix concert.

  12. I MightNate June 1, 2017

    Umm how did folks get reality show from this? This actually sounds like a documentary. Im excited for it. Black artists get zero promo these days, so this is smart.

  13. I HATE BLACK n WHITE. B,,,I.,.,..,….,,,,,,es June 1, 2017

    Some Arab men are deadly and violent. Janet won’t say in the docu but I know
