And in it, Jackson reportedly discusses her issues with body acceptance from an early age.Per Jackson says her struggles started when she was a cast member on the 1970s sitcom Good Times when she was just 11 years old. “I’m an emotional eater, so when I get stressed or something is really bothering me, it comforts me,” Jackson says in the doc, according to The Daily Mail. “I did Good Times, and that’s the beginning of having weight issues and the way I looked at myself.
I was developing at a very young age and I started getting a chest, and they would bind it so I would look more flat-chested.”Janet Jackson said that working in Hollywood wasn’t the only source of her issues with her body: Per The Daily Mail, Jackson recalls that her brother , who passed away in 2009, teased her and called her names when her body started changing during puberty. “There were times when Mike used to tease me and call me names. ‘Pig,’ ‘horse,’ ‘slaughter hog,’ ‘cow,’” she said.“He would laugh about it and I’d laugh too, but then there was somewhere down inside that it would hurt.
