Over the weekend, I posted the consolidated version of John Mayer’s reason for breaking up with Jennifer Aniston. So many readers, like myself, wished that John would have left out the "who broke it off part". But he didn’t and so Jennifer once again is painted as someone who can’t stay in a relationship. UGH.
Now, Us Weekly posted more of the singer’s response to the media’s fascination with the break up.
"If you guys are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun, have somebody stand up for somebody. Have me as a man who ended a relationship stand here and write some truth. Have me stand up for somebody and write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I’ve ever met. She’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met in my life and I’m going through something that’s a very personal thing and you have to give that up. You have to give everything up because you can’t have it all and it sucks."
"I’m sorry that the story’s not interesting. But it’s about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she’s great."
Mayer reflected on the situation as
"the most normal thing in the world – There’s no lying, there’s no cheating. There’s no nothing. People are different, they have different chemistry, they have different lives. It’s not about years, it’s about going out with somebody, being truthful on the way in, being truthful in the middle and being truthful on the way out."
There is so much more! Click on the continue reading link below to read the rest of his quote.
And is he dating someone else?
"Why are you asking me that question? I’m being as honest as I can possibly can be. I ended a relationship because there is no lying. I ended a relationship to be alone because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right. I don’t waste people’s time.I don’t do ‘the taper’.
"I guarantee you [that] 20 percent of the people on this street right now who are in a relationship wish they could get out but they don’t know how. And I’m going to be honest on the way in to my relationships and I’m going to be honest on the way out of my relationships."
He also wants everyone to take a look at themselves.
I just feel like spending a million dollars right now to put a mirror in every Us Weekly so that when you’re reading about it, you go, ‘Oh, that was me two years ago’ or ‘That was me a year ago,’"
So what’s with all the hiding lately from the paparazzi.
"You’re either a cheater or you breakup. And I’m not the first. I’m the second one. And that’s it. There’s no lying, there’s no b-llsh-t, I just don’t want to be followed around New York City like an animal."
“Have me as a man who ended a relationship” Why did he need to throw that in there? He could have easily said all the rest and it would seem much better without that one line. I dont get the appeal of this guy at all and I dont even like his music or the songs I hear on the radio. I would prefer James “Songs to slit your wrists by” Blunt if I was forced to listen to either and thats saying something.
I definitely think he looks like an idiot right now. I understand that it must be frustrating to have the media constantly blowing things out of proportion and “making things up”, but he doesnt debunk every rumor, so why this one? There’s got to be some reason to save face… probably because she’s already dating someone else – who knows. Either way, I just hope people back off of JA and don’t go the whole “Jen can’t find a man” route… many people have fleeting relationships that don’t last and it’s no big deal, but apparently she can’t do the same. Most of us love Sex and the City and can somehow relate to all of the characters… Jen is either the Charlotte – a hopeless romantic that will give love a chance at all times – or the Samantha – the cougar out to have herself some fun. We all love Sam and Charlotte, so why do we sit & judge JA for acting the same way as women that we otherwise love? And can people stop saying she doens’t want children? She has NEVER said that. Not having and not wanting are two TOTALLY different things.
John has ALWAYS been a guilty pleasure of mine. I think he’s so damn cute, and i love his music. Over the summer he has really taken himself down some notches and made me lose a TON of respect for him. I watched the video of him saying this on another site. I was SO happy he said what was up, but, I too agree, what the hell made him HAVE to say he was the dumper? Seriously, even if it wasn’t to save face, it sure made it sound that way. It has to be tough being fresh from a breakup and being hounded by questions, but that in no way was a slip of the tongue. It was definitely to make sure everyone knew HE dumped her. P – UKE
He’s such a total tool. No tact what so ever. Ugh. And the thing is- Jennifer Aniston won’t say a word about it. I wish that girl could find lasting happiness in a relationship.
i think it’s jennifer that broke up with him!! nice try though john!
He was dumped. It’s pretty obvious. Some guys are so weird about breakups.
ugh… words can’t describe. He has no class.
This is so great. I love how he confronts it and by doing so, doesn’t allow the media to make up the bullshit they usually make up. He says; this is what it is, this is what it isn’t.
Most often, celebrities don’t speak out, which leaves the reporting field wide open for speculation and “tabloid lie spreading propaganda” and by confronting the media head on with the truth, he has taken the power from them when it comes to spreading lies about what really happened.
I freaking love it. Good for him!!!!!

Hmmm. Sure, it’s great that he’s being honest so the tabs don’t have anything to print. But I have to wonder if he did this with JA’s approval. Because how many more times can the guy say in one interview that HE’s the one who ended the relationship? It just sounds s****y to me. And can someone explain what he means by that last paragraph, “And I’m not the first. I’m the second one. And that’s it. There’s no lying, there’s no b-llsh-t, I just don’t want to be followed around New York City like an animal.” The second one to what? I don’t get it…
He said you’re either a cheater or you break up
Cheater = the first
break up =the 2nd
So he’s saying that he broke up with her.
Doris-
He says: “You’re either a cheater or you breakup. And I’m not the first. I’m the second one. And that’s it. There’s no lying, there’s no b-llsh-t, I just don’t want to be followed around New York City like an animal.”
First is: your either a cheater
Second is: or you break up
so basically he is saying that hes the type of guy that would rather break up with someone first before going off with another girl which would make him a cheater
such an asshole, fking and telling.
Oops. Somebody just got thrown under the bus and rolled over a thousand times over.
Geez. He should learn how to shut his mouth sometimes.
Can’t stand this tool. What do women see in him?
I think this just goes to show how opposite these two really are. Jennifer Aniston is a very private woman, where as John likes to share his opinons and what not. It’s a shame that they broke up, cause I thought that they were so cute together. However, if that ‘SPARK’ isn’t there, you have to do the right thing by letting somebody go, instead of leading them on to believe that there is more there. It really is nice to hear the reason why, and it’s almost refreshing to see this from a celeb. There will be no ficton reason on the cover of Star or In Touch to state the REAL reason behind thier breakup. Outrageous stories like she wanted to adotp Brad and Angies twins, or John is secretly attracted to apes, or whatever other crazy notion that they can come up with. Good for him for setting the record straight.
He sounds like a scorned man to me. I bet cha dollars to donuts she dumped him.
I agree with Amy.
