Tennessee: Janet, Mariah and weight gain

[Relaxing Cup]

I’ve been watching some old Janet interviews from the 2000s and after she lost 60 lbs in 4 months, she said she had gained so much weight that she was 180 lbs and it was for a role, for the Lee Daniels movie, “Tennessee”.

Unfortunately the movie got pushed back, Janet couldn’t do it, and the role was given to Mariah.

However , in the movie, Mariah isn’t SUPER fat… anyone know what happened there? Was the fat really for the role or was Mariah the target weight already? I cant find any interviews of Mariah having to gain weight for the role

Still trying to figure this out

Mayhaps Janet just made up that excuse?

I’m assuming this thread is Satire intent.

that passed through my mind, but she said it several times on major interview platforms and Lee Daniels never refuted it lol
