Who’s to say she thought it was a kind gesture? Maybe there’s a reason she only spoke about the Super Bowl 2yrs after the incident, and never addressed it again. Maybe she is over reliving the moment that began her blacklisting.
We don’t know how she truly feels about the SB, but maybe being a trending topic on that day was bittersweet for her.
If you’re doing a kind deed, just for the sake of being kind. You don’t need any thanks.
I wonder if every person Janet has ever given money to has personally thanked her, I doubt it, and I doubt she’s in the business of helping others just for a thank you.
