Sticks and stones may break bones, but words can leave a lasting impression.
Just ask Janet Jackson.
The superstar has revealed she was taunted for her weight when she was a little girl by big bro Michael.
Yup, that's Michael Jackson to those not in the know.
When asked on US TV show Access Hollywood just how she was teased, Janet replied: "Names. They're not very nice.
"Slaughter hog - that's not very nice. There, I told you one, I'm not telling you any more."
And the names left a mark on a very young Janet...
She confessed: "It did. I've got issues!"
However, the singer has since channelled her insecurities to work out even harder, especially after gaining weight last year.
Now she's got the bod to flaunt as she hits the stage tonight on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
