Janet Jackson 'Felt Like a Prisoner' With Wissam Al Mana http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/janet-jackson-felt-like-a-prisoner-with-wissam-al-mana-w504493
According to her brother Randy, the billionaire, 42, verbally abused his 51-year-old wife, who welcomed son Eissa in January. Claims the Jackson source, “Janet felt like a prisoner.”
Their relationship began as a much-needed escape. Strapped for cash, devastated following brother Michael’s 2009 death and heartbroken after her split from love of seven years Jermaine Dupri, Jackson was desperately seeking stability. Enter Al Mana, whom she met at a hotel opening in Dubai in April 2010.
But her instincts were wrong. Al Mana’s desire for “a traditional wife who stuck with Muslim traditions” began to influence his wife, claims the Jackson source. She started to wear burkas — full-length, loose-fitting outer garments — and to steer clear of her former confidants.
“Janet felt like she couldn’t be herself anymore,” says the source. The restrictions flowed into her career as well. Though she canceled her Unbreakable world tour in April 2016 to focus on her pregnancy, “Janet felt like her music was suffering and she resented Wissam,” says the insider. “She couldn’t settle down and be what he wanted.”
The headstrong star finally decided she could no longer be a bystander in her own life. “She put her foot down and said no,” adds the Jackson source. “Janet wanted to get her life back.”
Most superstar women can never be a good 'wife' because they aren't submissive to anyone. I believe that women need to be submissive to their husbands to an extent.
Obviously the cultural clash was a huge obstacle in this.
I personally think that Janet is bisexual as well, and this is why she finds it hard to settle down with a man.
Submissive to their husbands at what extent? And should husbands be submissive to an extent to their wives? I'm curious.
shareYes, a man must be submissive to the requests of the woman, who as the housekeeper, is tasked with the cleanliness of the house. If the wife says “please don’t wear shoes upstairs” he must apologise and remove his shoes as she has probably vacuumed upstairs that day.
shareBut what if you're not living in the 50's and you're a wife with your own career?
sharethis isn't a fantasy world we live in
shareWell if she chose to be a slave to a career and loveless boss over a slave to her family, she should not have gotten involved in the first place. Women's lib is a hilarious joke.
