Janet Jackson Shouldn’t Have Married A Man Who Wanted A ‘Traditional Wife’ and Treated Her Like a ‘Prisoner’

We’ve already heard from Randy Jackson regarding his sister Janet being verbally abused by her Muslim husband, Wissam Al Mana.

Now, Us Weekly has even more about the marriage that couldn’t survive clashing cultures.

A Jackson family confidant tells the publication that During her five-year marriage to the Qatari business man, Jackson “felt hidden from family and friends. Her life was sheltered.”

As we already know from Randy, Al Mana, 42, verbally abused his 51-year-old wife, who “felt like a prisoner, claims the Jackson source.

The Us Weekly article says 51-year-old Janet Jackson’s relationship with the billionaire began as a much-needed escape. Reportedly strapped for cash, devastated following brother Michael’s 2009 death and heartbroken after her split from love of seven years Jermaine Dupri, Janet was in need something stable in her life. That’s when fate introduced her to Al Mana at a hotel opening in Dubai in April, 2010.

“He swept in at just the right time,” reveals a second insider. “He bailed her out and whisked her away to the Middle East.”

There, she found solace.

“Janet lived a very lavish life with him,” says the source. “His money could afford them a lot of privacy, which was what she craved.”

Al Mana introduced her to another wish: a family of her own.

“Janet was never very maternal before, but that changed with Wissam,” adds the insider. “He really wanted a baby and she was ready. She realized she found the right guy.”

But that’s here her instincts betrayed her. 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.”

The bottom line is – like a lot of people who shouldn’t marry each other – they just that and the results were pretty predictable. Janet confirmed their separation in May of this year.
