Janet Jackson apologizes to fans

Music superstar Janet Jackson apologizes to fans after her lawyers went after concert-goers who posted photos and videos of her Unbreakable tour to Instagram. The New York Post originally reported the story.

Some Instagram users had their entire accounts deleted. Instagram says it's working to restore those accounts. Meanwhile, Jackson took to her own Instagram account to speak directly to fans. (

Her statement read: "Hey you guys, I have been listening... I love and appreciate my fans. I want you to know that I enjoy watching the short video clips of how you are Burning It Up at the Unbreakable shows. Please keep posting them. My team is passionate about protecting the intellectual property we are creating for the tour and possible future projects. It was never their intention, acting on my behalf, to have social media accounts removed. Permitting the use of long clips does present a contractual problem for these projects. I hope you understand. I trust the fans will use their short recordings for their own memories and to share on their social media networks of choice. I have asked my team to change their approach and allow you to engage socially with these videos. I know I wouldn't be here without the love I stand on."

Ryan, Val, Ji and Roe shared their own opinions of the controversy during "Host Chat" on WCL.

Janet Jackson's "Unbreakable" tour plays The Chicago Theatre, Nov 3, 4, and 6.
