Janet Jackson braved herself and finally addressed the allegations Michael Jackson faced when he was still alive.
A new documentary will finally come to address all the family issues the Jacksons faced in the past years. Lifetime TV first graced the new year with a 3-minute teaser of the flick, giving a glimpse of what the viewers can expect in the two-part documentary.
Janet also shared the same full trailer on her Instagram account and shared it would be released on the 28th.
"You've been very private about your personal life up until now. Why did you want to do this documentary?" Janet said. "It's just something that needs to be done."
The documentary will have all-star appearances, including Mariah Carey, Ciara, Regina King, Whoopi Goldberg, Tyler Perry, Paula Abdul, and Teyana Taylor, among others.
The 55-year-old also reflected on the times she defended the King of Pop, who was bombarded with child molestation charges during a 2005 trial.
The documentary's producer asked her at one point whether the aforesaid allegations affected her, saying that she was "guilty by association" as she showed sadness on her face.
What Michael Jackson Suffered From
Before Michael's death, the King of Pop got involved in a highly-publicized court case for allegedly molesting a child.
In 1993, he was accused of sexually abusing a then-13-year-old Jordan Chandler at his Neverland Ranch. At that time, the case failed to make it to the court since Chandler's father, Evan, accepted a $15 million settlement from him.

Janet, for her part, repeatedly defended her brother against the claims by breaking her silence in the 2016 documentary, "Unmasked."
"Now if this really went on, do you think a father would accept money? Do you think that would make everything OK? It doesn't make any sense. If that was my son, I don't care if he gave me a billion dollars, I want to see you either behind bars or dead for doing that to my son," she said.
Janet added that Chandler's father only cared about the money.
Michael died in 2009 after his physician, Conrad Murray, administered a series of drugs to make him fall asleep. Even after his death, the King of Pop faced more issues when the documentary "Leaving Neverland" premiered. The flick revealed that the singer sexually abused young boys.
