pervert.
A Tennessee woman has dropped her class action lawsuit against
Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, MTV, CBS and their parent company
Viacom according to Rolling Stone Online.
After filing a claim with the U.S. District Court last week,

which she noted that Jackson’s stint in voyeurism caused
