John Mayer Gives A Press Conference … Kinda
John Mayer, who appears to have been having a tough time this week since his breakup with Jennifer Aniston, gave an impromptu press conference on the streets of NYC this weekend, talking to whatever camera was in his face at the time. TMZ managed to get the whole thing on tape and is spreading Mayer’s message of heartache to the four corners of the world … er, well, the ones that enjoy Internet access that is:
Mayer was indignant at reports his relationship with Jen was torpedoed because he cheated. He says “I ended a relationship to be alone, because I didn’t want to waste someone’s time.” All the “cheating” stories are cheap lies, Mayer says, adding, “It’s the most normal thing in the world” when a relationship runs its course. And he challenged 20% of Americans who are too wussy to get out of relationships that don’t work. After railing on the mags, Johnny boy has some serious superlatives for Jen.
The video, which you can watch HERE, is chock full of Mayer nuggets of wisdom that are simply not to be missed. In the vid, John says, “Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated woman I’ve ever met” and explains the parameters of the breakup of Mayerston. He says:
“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. You’re either a cheater or you break up and I’m not the first one, I’m the second one and that’s it.”
Someone then asks him if he is dating anyone else right now and he gets pissy that he would even be asked that question, implying that the mere asking if he’s with someone else discounts all of his statements that there was no cheating involved in the breakup. He continues, “I ended a relationship to be alone because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right.” He ended the “press conference” by implying that he had to “give up” Jenn because sometimes you “can’t have it all” (the implication is that their schedules, etc. are what also led to their breakup) and that having to breakup at all “sucks”. Well, I’m glad that he got that all cleared up. It appears that John may be out of the mopey stage and is now ready to move on … which, I think, is prolly a good idea for everyone involved.

well, for those that don’t like him, this might change their minds. it takes a real man to do what he did. he was honest, sincere, and he didn’t smear her or give gory details. he was private about the matter. kudos to john mayer for being a real man. now leave him alone.

I do think this is one of the few times when he’s behaved himself. What he basically said was, “I want to sleep around guilt-free, and I couldn’t do that to Jennifer.” At least he was upfront about it.

I totally agree with Julie. For once John Meyer was honest with himself and with the person he was in a relationship with. He was aware that he has Tom Cat ways, and was yearning for fresh kill, and rather than to cheat on Jennifer Aniston, he asked that it be ended. If one is to believe his side of the break up story. Knowing his past, i find it much easier to believe that he had been cheating at each opportunity while away, and that ended it. The man just can’t keep it zipped……

I can’t wait to see him wipped, trust me guys like this want someone to hold them down & he’s going to look funny carrying kids around.

Hope Jennifer finds the perfect man for her soon..she’s an awesome lady!

can anyone explain to me what is wrong with being young, single, and dating? what is the big deal if someone (be it a guy or girl) wants to be in a relationship with a person for a few weeks or months and then breaks it off? we all have personal freedom to do what we want. had she broken it off, would she be a cheating slut in the situation? uh, no. poor jen, the lonely, heart broken girl. get over it people. another thing, none of you know these people personally. so everything you hear is tabloid shit, rumors. the only people who know the truth is the actual people in the situations. it is so easy to judge when it isn’t you.

what a fucking prick.
i feel sorry for Jen.

I can never understand the Mayer hatred. I don’t like his music much, but he’s pretty funny and fairly straight forward generally. Even when he’s being silly, he’s being more honest than most that always feel they have to put on their best face for the camera and fans (which I understand, too, given how mean people are to anyone who has the slightest bit of attention).

Who is this guy???
August 17th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I don’t understand the Mayer hatred either. He’s HONEST, ladies. I find that refreshing in a man. I don’t want anyone staying with me because he’s was too chicken to leave.
If rumors are to be believed, Jen wants a husband and kids; John isn’t ready for either so he got out. Bravo! She’s been seen out with another guy already, so good for her too!

I like the guy. It wasn’t working for him, so ended it, simple as that. Least he’s honest. I hate reading all these BS stories that he cheated or she was a control freak nothing that’s printed is true anymore… it’s all rubbish.
I think the media is just determined to pin a label on everyone and they’ve decided to make John the love rat. I just think he’s gone on a few dates with a couple of famous chicks, things haven’t worked out, so they’ve ended things. Simple as. But the media wants a story so they make out he jumps from woman to woman, cheating, breaking hearts, blah blah. I don’t know, but I don’t buy it.

Please leave this poor guy alone- he looks hounded. I think he was honest and sincere - sometimes relationships just don’t work out. Why blame him for trying to clear things up if he can’t walk a few steps without being hounded? If he doesn’t talk- people bitch about him. If he does- he’s too talky? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
I respect him…

How about this is no one’s business and John Mayer not say ANYTHING?! Sounds good to me.
Jen’s been through enough already.
I hope she dates a gorgeous man next with all the right traits and marries him for the rest of her life.
August 17th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Fair enough - good for him for being real about it.
August 18th, 2008 at 6:04 am
I like them both a lot. They were very cute together and looked like they were having fun. Good for them. I wish them both well.
August 18th, 2008 at 6:09 am
Sounds like they had an honest go at it, it didn’t work out, and they decided to break it off in a civilized manner.
August 18th, 2008 at 7:11 am
I never thought this was a real relationship. Like so many “Celeb Relationships” I think it was more PR than anything. Maybe not. We’ll never really know. If it was real and this shizz is true, I say cool that he was upfront and not a game player. Hopefully, Jen will find someone right for her.
August 18th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Ok. It’s like you people don’t get it. First of all the personal business of any of these people isn’t anyone else’s business. (For the record, I know this site is a celeb gossip blog before you all use that as a defense for me being here commenting). The point he is trying to make isn’t that he is a horn dog and wants to sleep around, isn’t that he cheated, wanted to cheat, whatever..sometimes you just don’t wanna be with someone. No one has to be the ‘bad guy’ and he knows and expects people to relate to that simple fact alone instead of how the media is trying to spin things out of control to leetch money off his existance.

I agree with Chloe!! Mayer is a LOWLIFE PRICK!! He was just trying to save face and let everyone know that he broke up with her first. Jenn was probably sick of his immature BS and onstage whiny rants about her.
He is so full of it!! The tabs were not trashing Jenn they were trashing him. So he was defending himself not her.
If he was a real man he would have kept his fat trap shut. Jenn does not talk about her personal life so is a jackass for blabbing to the paps about it.
When will these female celebs learn their lesson and not date this sleazy douche??
