The exact source of the video and when it was shot was unclear, says the Associated Press. Photos taken at the same time popped up online last year.

Jackson's publicist did not return a call from AP for comment.
Last week, her former brother-in-law, Young DeBarge, accused Jackson, 39, of having a "secret" child – a daughter, Renee, now 18 – with ex-husband James DeBarge.
On Wednesday, Jackson issued a statement, saying: "I do not have a child and all allegations saying so are false." The next night, her brother Tito defended her in an interview on TV's Extra.
"I do not have a nephew or niece or whatever it is that's being said right now," he said. "I'm pretty sure it bothered her a little bit, but she's going to go on and be strong like Janet always is. ... She'll be okay."
