*Janet Jackson is gearing up for her ninth concert tour, “Together Again,” and she’s said to be taking extra precautions to ensure her road crew doesn’t have a history of abuse.
Jackson will be implementing “MeToo checks” that “will see everyone from her dancers and bandmates to crew and general staff vetted to ensure they don’t have a history of abuse,” an insider revealed, according to thejasminebrand.com.
“It’s not cheap to do but for Janet and those close to her, creating a safe and kind work environment is more important than profits,” the insider added.
The source said Jackson wants a “completely non-toxic working environment for all her staff and by implementing these early checks she is eradicating the risk.”
