BOR’s not protecting Jackson, he’s letting him know he’s got some blackmail material. If he wanted to protect him, he wouldn’t say on international TV that he’s sitting on “more damaging” video.
BOR would burn that tape in a second if Jackson agreed in return to do six Factor shows a year for the next three years.
BOR would only be in a position to blackmail if he had exclusive possession of that tape. But he doesn't. The tape was shown on every show on FNC last night, not just BOR's. Showing the tape in its entirety will be the decision of the FNC execs.
