WATCH: Janet Jackson Breaks Down on Stage During Performance on Domestic Violence

Janet Jackson had an emotional moment on stage this week.

In a heartbreaking moment caught on film by fans in the crowd, Janet Jackson broke down in tears onstage in the middle of her Houston, Texas, concert on Saturday night. At the time, the singer was performing the song “What About” from her iconic 1997 album, The Velvet Rope.

Accompanying the song, which is about domestic violence, Jackson’s female dancers acted out the volatile lyrics:

“What about the times you yelled at me?/ What about the times I cried? You wouldn’t even hold me/ What about those things?/ What about that, what about that?/ What about the times you hit my face?/ What about the times you kept on when I said, ‘No more please’/ What about those things?” the lyrics state.

Jackson seemed a bit shaky and overcome with emotion during the performance. At the close of the song, as the crowd cheered, Jackson gestured to the female dancers acting out the abuse, sobbing, “This is me.”

Jackson and her businessman husband, Wissam Al Mana, split in April of this year, following five years of marriage. The couple has one child together, a son named Eissa who was born in January.

Although relatively little is known about the couple’s private life, tabloids have frequently rumbled with rumors of trouble. A source told  Page Six:

“She thought he had become too controlling during the pregnancy and she had already allowed him to dictate her appearance and even the way she performed at concerts,

It drove her crazy, and she felt she was losing her fan base.”
