Janet Jackson Looks Fly In Fur… But PETA Brings Out The Claws

Posted on July 16th, 2010 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: Hi Hater, Ho Sit Down, Janet Jackson, News, out of pocket, SMH

Singer Janet Jackson poses in a mink coat as the new face of luxury fur company Blackglama.

Janet Jackson has signed on as spokesmodel for fur firm Black Glama, and of course the singer rubbed PETA the wrong way by rocking a mink in her new ad. Instead of respectfully disagreeing with Janet’s choice PETA has come ALL out of pocket hitting Ms. Jackson WAY below the belt. Their SMH-worthy comments when you …

The BlackGlama ads, featuring Jackson captured by top photographer Rocco Laspata, will run in magazines including Vanity Fair, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar later this year. Jackson will also appear on a BlackGlama Billboard above Times Square in New York City.

Past BlackGlama legends have included Sophia Loren, Diana Ross, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Minnelli.

When asked about Janet’s decision to be BlackGlama’s new face, we think PETA spokeswoman Amanda Schinke went TOO FAR, saying:

“It’s amazing what celebrities will do when their careers are on a downslide, but we didn’t think that Janet was this desperate…Surely she knows enough about suffering and unjustified death to recognize that both occur in the production of a fur coat.”

PETA is asking Janet Jackson to quit the campaign and donate her furs to be used as bedding for orphaned animals.

WHAT? Did this out of pocket beyatch really just call Janet desperate??? THE NERVE

Is she trying to say something about Michael with that business about “suffering and unjustified death”?

Someone please send Amanda Schinke a “Ho Sit Down”!

Congrats on your new campaign Janet

    PETA wants us to stop eating cows, chickens and such. I like respect their opinions but I also love my meat. BTW Janets looking sO good!!

  • Fab.

    f*ck peta

  • chanda

    smh…PETA “get somewhere and sit down..”

    NEXT…

  • Pleezzz

    All they have to do is take the Fox meat and make Animal chow (dog & cat food) out of it, or a fox patty to go on crackers then the fur would be left overs utilized not waisted.

  • Lisa

    PETA needs to find something else better to do instead of acting like ambulance chasers. Janet will NEVER be desperate and she is fierce in that mink.

  • THE SMOKIN’ SECTION

    Ahh shut the fuuck up PETA! Y’all disrespectful as hell…nobody over at your wack-brained organization is payin’ her damn bills…fuuck y’all…

  • YESS

    Good for Janet for not being scared of PETA and having the balls to wear fur.

  • Over it…

    F*ck PETA… & for the record I’m an animal lover!

  • THE SMOKIN’ SECTION

    God put animals here for man, not man here for animals, backward a$$ PETA! I swear, I think they would jump over a child layin’ in the street to save a damn dog…smh

  • Shame

    PETA – like most extreme liberals – will never be heard because they don’t know how to say what they want to say respectfully.

  • Martinigal

    F*u*cck PITA four time over! I hate them!Think they have a right to tell people what to wear and what to eat.

  • that damn sh#$ disturber

    “All they have to do is take the Fox meat and make Animal chow (dog & cat food) out of it, or a fox patty to go on crackers then the fur would be left overs utilized not waisted.”

    now that’s a solution. unfortunately, animals like seals and minks where they beat them to death slowly so they don’t mess up their beautiful fur, it’s still messed up…

  • aqueenwaits

    Excuse me —– ISH on PETA! Unless they gave her a check to say that she won’t do fur, then I say put some lettuce, tomatoe, bananna peppers, and turkey inside of that Pita and keep on pushing!!! Who really cares?

    Janet should want an animal being skinned alive for its fur. It’s disturbing.

  • IHATEPETA

    Who cares W T F Peta thinks.

  • dee

    A humane way to kill an animal for it’s fur? There is no way. Either way it will be skinned and that’s pretty inhumane and cruel.

  • My Pet Dinasour(Bossip is Mean)

    PETA needs to sit down somewhere.

  • BronxCubanQT

    Why is it that having compassion for animals means that you can’t have compassion for human beings as well? I think that furs looks and feel beautiful but I would never purchase one because I cannot condone animal suffering.

    Animals that are used for fur are killed in the cruelest and most inhumane ways. When I think about how it would feel to be skinned alive (imagine pulling a hang nail from your cuticles and continuing all the way down to your toes) or being slowly beaten to death, it is enough to confirm that I cannot support the fur industry.

    Now does that mean that I have to now have to take the extreme position of hating Janet Jackson for accepting this new job? No, I don’t hate her for that but I do wish that she made a different choice.

    As for the people who don’t think they should be told what to wear…it’s really not about that. You don’t have to be a PETA member (I’m not!) to support the humane treatment of animals. I personally have enough compassion in my heart to care about the suffering of people AND the suffering of animals.

  • THE SMOKIN’ SECTION

    @ Back Me Up Y’all

    LOL, thanks! For real, though, if they were more respectful about their shyt, then I might half way give a damn what they say.

  • dee

    @ BronxCubanQT

    Well said.

    This planet does not only belong to the Humans, we are ALL here to coexist with animals.
    Yet they are being destroyed for our benefit. This hardly seems fair.

  • MsCollierKeepIt1Milli

    PETA HOs SIT DOWN! Janet looks F-in Amazing! She can donate a fur to me so I can never wear it in this 500 degree Alabama weather lol.

    @ Miss U Much

    I Agree with everything you said.

  • Jayonce (Beyonce is my Mammy!)

    She is an Alien. Hell…that could be her own fur. Stop hating.

    Problems….get at me!

  • http://www.bossipsucks.com PUUUUH-LEEEEASE!

    FIRST??

  • myHusbandMonitorsMyInternetActivity

    Peta is a group of unethical whiners. They need to focus on treating people in an ethical manner

  • Soopaflhi

    Janet is DESPERATE her career is almost extinct

  • samech

    Janet’s too much of a lady to respond, unlike Niaomi and ‘em (Mary J, Diddy). She needs to spit fire……!!!!!!!!!

  • Ms. Littlejohn

    I agree with Amanda.

  • Truth

    Damn peta yall can’t make everyone agree

  • Truth

    Somebody gotta put that warm fur to use then the animal that was killed would’ve died for nothing

  • Luv-Lee

    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!!!!!

    I hate hearing about animals being skinned alive! Or slowly beat to death!! That is VERY disturbing. I love animals.

  • suzae

    isnt it a bit odd how PETA has so much of a voice and even more so power????? y are we allowing them to control what you wear or how u live your life…though abusing animals is wrong.

  • Janet Stan

    I hate meat but I love fur coats. Peta spokesperson needs to get a damn hobby or go after all of the meat eaters too.

  • La Muneca Fea

    That fur sure looks comfy….now where’s my steak!

  • i know the truth

    These comments r sad on here. janet jackson IS desperately trying to salvage her career–and a high profile campaign like this, that will probably launch when the new tyler perry film comes out, is completely calculated. why r so many so quick to be on the side of the rich and famous–PETA has a good point, one would think that someone who grew up around animals like she did (always bragging about feeding the animals with MJ when young) would be more sensitive to the pain and suffering of innocent animals.

  • THE SMOKIN’ SECTION

    @ Dee, BronxCuban, and BBBEE25

    PETA needs to hire the three of you to write their letters, because I can actually HEAR what you’re sayin’. Whoever is in charge of that shyt right now is fired, cause I can’t hear past the elitist and disrespectful tone that they’re now so notorious for. They do themselves a disservice…

  • TELEMUNDO

    JANET IS THE QUEEN . BEYONCE WHO?

  • dee

    @ Smoking Section

    Thank You.
    I agree,PETA usually hurts the cause,and therefore hurts the underlying message that they are trying to send.

  • tommykimon

    LoL at these comments. Black folks are not jumping on the PETA bandwagon. Janet does look great in these pics too by the way. Do you Ms. Jackson.

  • IGNORANT PEOPLE

    I honestly cannot believe how ignorant people on this blog are. Or how ignorant Janet is for being the face of cruelty.
    Animals are electrocuted, beaten to death, and skinned alive for a coat, A PIECE OF CLOTHING! IT IS INHUMANE, IT IS DISGUSTING! How can you seriously justify taking another living beings life away just so you can make yourself look better
    So what PETA doesn’t know how to respectfully reprimand celebrities for continuing to support fur even after knowing the atrocities that go on in the fur industry. That is not the point.
    I’ve never commented here, I’ve just been reading everyone elses profanity laced comments filled with bad grammar for months, and you people truly are as ignorant as they come. You make all black people look like uneducated, vain fools. Which is funny considering that also how Janet looks in this ad,go figure.

  • tommykimon

    Black people LOVE meat, to stay warm and to look fly.

  • Taylor

    I HATE PETA!! I wish they would throw red paint on me, I would knock somebody out… You have a right to not agree with someone’s actions but the manner in which they do it is ridiculous. Plus they’re idiots. They hold signs and cry about animals, but wear Nikes, GAP, and abercrombie (made in sweat shops by abused children). Someone should throw paint on them!!

  • Unkle Ruckus

    Mannnnn, Eff PETA! Tell them to eat mah bawls!

  • THE SMOKIN’ SECTION

    The only ignorant one in here is your PETA employed a$$, comin’ on a damn blog that you supposedly cannot tolerate…ignant (bad grammar intended). You and that excrement spewing organization are disrespectful, and are deserving of all the disrespectful sounding comments that come back to you. Now roll that in a blunt and smoke it…fool

  • FattDoll

    Tigers, Lions and Bears would eat the people who work for PETA!

  • lala

    Nope Amanda went too far PETA might me a group for good cause and all but that doesnt show with what she just said in regards to Janet. Amanda should feel ashamed talking about desperate? She’s the one that is desperate, saying such comment and I bet its only for her name to be known kmft… its kl doe i hope she knows shes reached an all time low…

  • SMH I don’t get it.

    People truly are missing the point here. Animals SUFFER and are savagely killed in order to obtain this “wonderful fur”. Imagine if we weren’t at the top of the food chain and we were hunted and killed for our skin..how would you feel then? I saw someone say “God put animals here for man” he put them here as a means to eat not just to kill and wear the fur. Native Americans used EVERY part of the animal they killed. Not just the fur. People need to really think about what they’re saying and what is really going on in the fur industry. It’s deeper than you think and it’s very evil.

  • Aisha

    ”It’s amazing what celebrities will do when their careers are on a downslide”??GTFOH What about all the celebrities walkin with no clothes on for PETA?? Im so glad they banned the Pamela Anderson’s add for Peta here in Montreal…

  • SMH I don’t get it.

    It’s a very morbid and sick act to wear the skin of another living being. No clothes on signifies wearing your OWN SKIN. DUH. It may be banned but it makes a statement. WEAR YOUR OWN DAMN SKIN. It would be different if these animals died natural deaths and then they used the fur so that the animal wouldn’t just go to waste or to “recycle” if you would..but just to purposely go out and KILL for the intent of another beings skin is just plain out disgusting and disgraceful.

  • Bohwe

    I feel Janet on this one, as of late she is really displaying her true personality, for years she and MJ felt the need to be P.C. never wanting to offend anyone, i.e. white folks, and it didn’t pay off. life is too short to be dictated by others.

  • Dirty Diana…Let Me Be ♪

    I have lost “ALL” respect for PETA. they need to get rid of that Bytch she is giving the organization a bad name.

  • down_to_earth_chick

    Stay classy PETA. They have to be one of the most irritating advocacy groups in the world. At the risk of sounding insensitive, I will say that there are way more important things in the world than animal rights. Maternal and infant mortality, natural disasters, war, and grave poverty all rank higher than animals IMO. They have the right to do what they please, but they cannot expect people to care as deeply about animal rights as they do.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/atyourbest redcora

    PETA PETA.. I WONDER DO THEY STILL HAVE THOSE KENNELS WITH THOSE ABUSED HALF DEAD POOR LIL ANIMALS.. OR DID THEY CLEAN THAT UP YET?

  • Delight23

    @redcora…that would be a “no”. quite frankly those cages, I mean, humane housing facilities are over-flowing.

    PETA’s continued assault on the more financially lucrative causes lend more credit to the belief that they’re a joke.

    Oh, yeah p.h.u.c.k. PETA. By the by I don’t wear fur, but I rock a mean azz cow hide.

  • NAY NAY

    I know where PETA can put em!!! Why does she have to be helping her career by wearing a fur coat, idiots!! Every human being has a choice in life u can’t talk badly about people for wearing fur…then we don’t need to eat no steak either!! I’m sure half of those hypocrits in PETA eat steak and other meat from butchered animals now what!!!

  • !!!!!

    SHE LOOKS NICE.

  • Bopa

    Why did they put makeup to contour her nose?

  • LolaFlorida

    Down with PETA!

  • weezy

    1st of all old girl needs to know in order to get respect you need to show some respect. As for Miss Jackson she know she’s looks nice even when she wears a poor butchered animal!

  • afrodite

    she looks like greedy, oblivous trash just like any other Black woman who would wear something so pointlessly materialistic

  • Lovequeen

    I understand people are animal lovers, but I wish people would be more passionate about mankind,missing children etc..And before you JUDGE someone, I want you to look in your house and check all of you food, clothes,beauty/soap/lotion care products and Candy, and tell me if they contain any animal products?Unless you are a complete vegan,who does not use ANY kind of animal byproduct,then who are u to judge?

  • mike

    I have been a life long super fan of Janet and have supported her through thick and thin, and have disregarded some of her questionable decisions…..but being the international spokesperson for a fur company in this day and age is disgusting. I am extremely saddened by this as I have looked up to her and loved her so much….I’m confused knowing her love for animals…..and honestly I do not think I can support her moving forward. Really bad PR move on top of it all.

  • where is her nose?

    in this day and age, no one really needs furs when you can have imitation which means no cruelty, but whatever. peta is made up by a bunch of whack jobs

  • kristina

    janet is beautiful, PETA needs to go sit down somewhere. They are so freakin rude.

  • http://www.funnynink.blogspot.com D

    There should be a boycott for PETA to retract their comments on Janet Jackson as she never said nothing about Peta I know they value lives of animals more than human lives. We need to write, emails, blogs, and call for retraction and a apology for Janet jackson. They didn’t slam Blackglama’s other legends (majority being white) they had involed in the past with that signature campaign I find it horrible. I’ve never heared of Blackglama furs before this. So thanks Janet for that. But also Janet being number one on Itunes for a single performance on the the number 1 rated show AMERICAN IDOL. Out shining the winners and guest on the show with her amazing performance. Janet is relevent NO PETA, NO PETA NO PETA. Let’s spread the wprd they can’t bully people like this. boycott Peta
    757-622-7382 and dial 2.

  • IloveyouJanet

    You fools! Janhova is not desperate by wearing fur. She has worn fur and minks before. Just leave her alone! I love her!

  • Is Anyone Surprised

    Maybe it’s just me but I’ve seen better pics of Janet. But Peta is on my last nerve. Why do THEY think that the only opinion that matters is theirs?

  • White Women Rule

    Oh PETA, do me a favor and go away for a moment. Tha fur is just devine!!!!

  • Fairlady

    If fur wasn’t so greedily obtained and involved so much suffering, groups like PETA or others wouldn’t come down so harshly on people that wear it. Yeah, it is a choice and yeah PETA might get on your nerves, but the bottom line is, are you okay with useless suffering for the sake of beautiful fur? Yeah, you make the choice. I know I will too and it won’t be to disrespect an animal simply becauses I am greedy or have the power too. I will wear something else.

    Those pelts are obtained by methods that protect the pelt and are not humane to the animal. The animal suffers well beyond what is necessary to euthanize it efficiently. This is all done for money. So, greedy are the fur farmers, not PETA.

  • http://www.cowitfurs.com/ Cowit Furs

    Janet looks beautiful in that mink fur coat! Anyone selling fur would be lucky to have Ms. Jackson as the new face of womens furs. She’s a class act!

  • Raquel

    Encouragement of Janet to do this ad is frightening. Please expose yourself to the cruelties of the fur industry and consider how sane it is to wear another creature’s skin. Would we feel the same if we were skinned and flaunted as a fashion statement?

  • yvette

    PETA, people for the ETHICAL treatment of animals, has a right to express their view and many people agree with them. Have you ever had a pet? How would you like someone to skin your dog or cat and wear it? Think your pet would feel pain? Of course and it takes 80 animals avg to make a jacket. There is NO need for this. Nothing personal against Janet, but everyone should think about what they do and what they represent and promote. Especially when you have the knowledge and the means to do better. Peace
