Janet’s news for the Times

JANET Jackson doesn’t need help from the New York Times, thank you very much.

Over the summer, the newspaper brought the Free Britney movement — which sought to have Britney Spears released from her conservatorship — into the mainstream with its “Framing Britney Spears” documentary.

Last week, the Times released another pop culture deep dive, “Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson,” which rails against the way Jackson was vilified in the wake of her infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance, during which co-headliner Justin Timberlake exposed her breast in what was later called a wardrobe malfunction.

But Jackson’s former stylist Wayne Scot Lukas, who created the Super Bowl costume, tells Page Six that Jackson wanted no part of the film.

“She wants that documentary to go away. She didn’t ask for a ‘Free Janet’ documentary. She’s not interested,” Lukas said.

Jackson declined to participate in the New York Times-FX project and urged Lukas and others to do the same. “She asked us not to do it. She wants to tell her own story,” he said.

Other sources told Page Six Jackson is “over” the narrative that the Super Bowl somehow debilitated her. “It didn’t end her career,” a source said. “She still broke records with albums, and she was just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”

Lukas told us he taped an interview for Jackson’s own doc, premiering in January, but she told him not to address the Super Bowl in it.

“They’re going to discuss it, and she’ll have her final say. I’m not privy to her final say . . . I’ve been loyal for 18 years,” he said.

Still, he said he continues to get blamed for the revealing performance and has even received death threats since the FX doc aired.

“I really wish Janet or someone could come out now and say, ‘Leave my friend Wayne alone — he didn’t do anything wrong,’ ” he told us. A rep for Jackson didn’t comment.
