Janet Jackson's new film helped her deal with MJ’s death

London (ANI): American singer Janet Jackson has said that her new movie Why Did I Get Married Too? helped her deal with the demise of her brother Michael Jackson. Janet said that shooting for the film after the King of Pop"s death in June 2009 was very challenging.

“My brother had just passed away and I was going through so much at the time. I left his funeral service and flew straight back to the film set that night so it was very tough for me in some ways and very cathartic in others. I got so much love from the crew and cast. They were very loving and very warm," The Daily Express quoted the 44-year-old singer as saying.

“Some scenes really gave me the chance to release the emotions I was going through. I had real tears. It was very draining but it helped me get through it," she added.
