Mayer Opens Up About Aniston!

Filed under: Jennifer Aniston > Love Line > John Mayer

mayman.jpg

The usually media-loving and pap friendly John Mayer has shunned the media and snappers since news of his split with Jennifer Aniston emerged.

That changed Saturday!

OK! magazine caught up with Mayer in the NYC on Saturday and he spilled quite a bit!

John revealed that HE was the one who did the breaking up:

"I ended a relationship because there was no lying," he explained to OK!. "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 there's 20 percent of the people on the street right now who are in a relationship they wish they could get out of 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."

And, here's what John had to say about 'what went wrong':

"People 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. You're either a cheater or you break up and I'm not the first, I'm the second. And that's it. There's no lying, there's no bullshshit."

Johnny said the split, "It's the most normal thing in the world. There's no lying there's no cheating. There's no nothing…I'm sorry that the story's not interesting."

John also had nothing but the kindest words for Maniston:

"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."

When OK! asked John how he felt about the reports that Man has already moved on and begun seeing another man, he shrugged and said, "I don't care."

We wonder if Johnny started the break-up talks with the classic line, "It's not you, it's me."

Looks like no one can keep horn dog John down!

    first



  2. 2

    jennifer aniston's ugly :)



  3. 3

    I don't like this guy…. Jen needs someone with a brain



  4. 4

    He may be a horn dog, but he's America's horn dog!!



  5. 5

    He's just too young for her. He may be a stand up guy, but she deserves better. Hope they both had fun while it lasted.



  6. 6

    He's a dick. Any woman who hooks up with him should realize its temporary. I used to like him and his music but now he just annoys me.



  7. 7

    Perez, why is John just a HORNDOG and not a SLUT like slutyienna? Why the double standard?



  8. 8

    Notice how he said I BROKE UP WITH SOMEONE like 3 times? Well it's obvious he wants people to think he broke up with her but I bet she broke up with him. She is the one who wants something different.. I think he could care less. You know your an asshole when your not only saying I BROKE UP WITH but saying it like 3 times! She SO broke up with him!!! Stop being an immature baby John and go back to doing what you do best… befriending paps who laugh at your jokes even though they are not funny at all. Thats his relationship!



  9. 9

    He's a F'n Clooney, he's in love with himself. Jen is worth alot more than him. Jen will find what she is looking for because at least SHE knows what that is. Good riddens, never could stand him….



  10. 10

    Re: DarylB – He's no Brad Pitt either.



  11. 11

    I touched a squirrel, it even got creeped out.



  12. 12

    He's a publicity hound. What a mess he has turned into. A narcissistic bastard.



  13. 13

    HE NEEDS TO MATURE….SHE IS PROBABLY TOO MUCH OF A WOMAN FOR HIM TO HANDLE….

  14. Minx says – reply to this


    14

    I don't like Jen but he should have just left it as they broke up w/o gong into specifics. I have lost what little respect I had for him.



  15. 15

    He's a loser.



  16. 16

    Why are some people bashing John for not settling down, when Jen Aniston have been in over 10 relationships since her divorce, not to mention how many she was in before she got married. Obviously something is wrong with her as well!!!! Thanks John for being honest, that is something you will never get from Aniston, because she is still living off her 'Friends' character and wants everyone to believe that her bad relationships are everyone else's fault and nothing to do with her!!!



  17. 17

    Those of you who are saying he is full of himself are NUTS! He is just being honest!! Jen wants to get married and have children after only knowing the man a few months……if I was John I would have ran much faster than he did!!!!!



  18. 18

    He's not a Clooney, he's a marginally more talented Leto



  19. 19

    John mayer is a freakin A hole. Why would he even need to talk about all this? He's like a little boy that got his heart broken and needs to try and be the tough guy. Dick



  20. 20

    Who is this guy and how in the world does he get such beautiful women (and men, you too Perez)!



  21. 21

    John, I know that you're a self centered biggot who reads these blogs (to find items on yourself) so here goes: the fact that you had to state that it was you who did the dumping and that you were not the one being dumped just further illustrates what a jerk you are. You're no longer in highschool. Get over yourself you moron! Seriously, you are so self absorbed. Remind me why any woman would wanna date you again.



  22. 22

    Perez, now I respect you for telling the whole world about your kiss with this douche. It was exactly what he deserved. Kudos!



  23. 23

    wow what a gentleman, and "great "artist" xDD



  24. 24

    Re: WakeUpPeople – I think you are wrong. I don't think Jen wants to get remarried or a have kids. Brad wasn't wrong to leave her (I just wish he went for someone other than that she devil Angelina) she clearly did not want to have children and he did. I don't even feel this relationship with JM was anything serious. He did kind of gave her a passive/aggressive smackdown though by saying HE dumped HER.

    25

    psh, whatevs. i'd have some beers with him, he seems like a funny dude. just as long as i don't have to listen to his music..



  26. 26

    Translation: "I found a hotter chick." Jen deserves much better than the likes of this egotist.



  27. 27

    He's starting to piss me off. Just make music and spare us your views on life.



  28. 28

    "Looks like no one can keep horn dog John down!"??? Please. What you really mean is "looks like this narcissistic, publicity-gobbling, passive-aggressive tool has major intimacy issues". Hopefully, Aniston was just using him because the thought of any woman taking this tool seriously makes me gag. Mr. Mayer, why don't you ring up Adam Levine so you two douchebags can compare notes on the art of kiss and tell? Have some class.



  29. 29

    Re: WakeUpPeople – John Mayer is not being "honest" - he's being an asshole. Why even talk about it in the first place, particularly to freakin' OK magazine? The way he drew attention to himself by sulking around in Batman hoodies…that's not being honest. That's groveling for attention. WTF does anyone see in this guy? His music blows and he's a certified self-absorbed creep who's not even good-looking.



  30. 30

    in a word

    what a PRICK



  31. 31

    Wow, he's pretty pretentious, but at least he didn't cheat on her. She's had enough of THAT!!



  32. 32

    He is such a serial dater & any chick who goes out with him just adds her name to the list….Jen deserves so much more from guys than she has gotten…Hey Mr. Wonderful, 1 good girl is waiting on her prince, where are u????



  33. 33

    I lost respect for this man. No matter the circumstances a real man DO NOT speak about his relashinship. I have a feeling he is an abusive idiot, full of himself, who is unable to love anybody.- I'm sure Jennifer and not him, put an end to the relashionship.



  34. 34

    I use to not mind John Mayer, I have always liked his music, but now I might cringe a little when I hear it as I'm not liking John so much and he sounds like a real pig. The whole thing he was saying sounded like a nice way for him to say he's a "horn dog" as Perez put it and he couldn't keep it in his pants for just one person and didn't want to. After seeing the way he behaves I would hope his persuers later on will take notice of this and not be so blind and stupid to what this guy is and does to his women.



  35. 35

    Re: Mars – And I'd do him, , as long as I didn't have to listen to his songs and his conversation. Spare me the ex-girlfriend talk!



  36. 36

    What "relationship"? This was a fake PR anti-Jolie Pitt twin deal to make Aniston seem less pathetic and unwanted. Now it's clear as day. Aniston is UNLOVED, UNDESIRED, UNWANTED. Too bad Huvane got beaten to the chase before he could say it was Aniston who dumped Mayer. How much money is JenJen paying that loser publicist anyway? Get your act together! LOL! Anyway this was a win-win PR game for Mayer who got his name on tabs, so all is good. JenJen needs another 'mystery dark tall handsome man' 'holding hands' 'intense conversation' that whole thing yet again. A routine lie after lie. Aniston is a FRAUD. Always has been, always will be.



  37. 37

    Ithink he is quite sexy,why stay in a relationship if it's goin nowhere.
    JOHN MAYER ONE COOL PLAYER MAN….

    John Mayer = George Cloony

    Jennifer Aniston = Summer Fling

    Once a pig, always a pig. Oink, oink.



  39. 39

    Oh and Mr. Mayer, if you are reading this—-it was to be expected that you get all these beatings from the aging, raging JenHens. You don't mess with them. They are just so insecure, filled with inferiority complex and that's why Aniston is their champion. Look what they put Brad through, and still they are angry at him, after 3 years and 6 kids! Compared to that, you escaped relatively easy. LOL!!



  40. 40

    This should be the final Nail for ole Chinny, Da Man



  41. 41

    Don't understand His appeal!?



  42. 42

    You people who are do inlove with Man,, One Word Karma,, This is what she gets for how she lied and treated Papa Brad. She made his life miserable and when he finally got out,, she went to Vanity Fair, Okra,,,ect… and bad mouthed him…. KARMA



  43. 43

    he's so full of shit & such a narcissist



  44. 44

    what a jerk. man. i really used to like john mayer and his music, but now…he's just sold out. always talking to paparazzi…publicity-seeking. Now when I listen to his music that's all I can think about and it's annoying.

    So much for that.

    scuzz-ball.



  45. 45

    aniston has no in intentions of settling. she looks high in this pic above. her and mayer are probably too alike to get along smoothly. he talked about chemistry so that means the sex was wack and the relations were good or vice versa.



  46. 46

    He's too hot for her!

    Savors strongly of bitterness. Please just lets stop talking about him he is horrible looking, his music sucks, and he is one manipulative jackass.

    I did like him until this, it sounds very arrogant to me.



  49. 49

    *
    He left her right after the cover of OK, August 18, 2008, announced WEDDING OF THE YEAR. Finally over Brad - Jen & John's Backyard Ceremony. Ha Ha HA
    *
    So of course JA and JM had to talk about it and JM said, "No way and no babies. I'm not ready for that." Then JA was all poopy because she is pushing 40 and her clock is ticking. So JM said goodbye ’cause he didn't want to waste anymore of JA's time.
    *
    Did anyone really believe these two were anything more than a brief fling?
    *



  50. 50

    How terribly rude for him to give this interview. Sounds like a very angry person who's trying to get back at Jen. I don't know why he would say such things. P.S. I love Jennifer Aniston!



  51. 51

    so hes saying that he didnt want to give her marriage and kids??
    he would have just been lying to her?

    or what idk its rather confusing someone explain



  52. 52

    Whata worm. And he sure is full of his "I don't care" knock-off self. Aniston may have used him to create something in her life for the "media" other than the birth of the all-hailed twins. He's an easy easy mark, obviously, as he can't get enough of slutting around, and now seems addicted to the media he once disdained, prior to "dating" all of those about whom he decried for turning their lives into public spectacle. Worm + Hypocrite = an "I dumped her" loser, & one whom self respecting humans best avoid.



  53. 53

    Re: lisa00789 – agree - what an idiot (j.meyer, mayer, who knows, who cares )



  54. 54

    what a lying scumbag. my ass he's never cheated! he had sex with a friend of mine when he was definitely with jessica simpson.



  55. 55

    You just know he's used her to up his profile in the UK. He's nothing but a slag



  56. 56

    Oh and by the way: perhaps it's time for JM to get a non celebrity girlfriend if he wants to start getting taken seriously. He's all for talking about them to the media once they've split up. Not particularly gentlemanly of him.



  57. 57

    john mayer is such a tool box



  58. 58

    He tries way too hard. He's a douche and Jen is stupid.



  59. 59

    Re: flangie nopants – AMEN!! You are so right.



  60. 60

    This sure doesn't sound like he did the dumping. Jen has a rule. It was in force thru her marriage to Brad. If the time came when things weren't working, they were going to be honest with each other and truthful. Sounds like Jen and John talked about this before they got close and when things proved to be uncomfortable and awkward, they just said bye. No harm no foul. I think he is like a teenager emotionally anyway. She can do better. He still plays around with adolescent angst.

    Um can you say douchebag.. he obviously has some bad feelings towards her can you say liar.



  62. 62

    That's classic J Mayer, I commented on the post about their breakup and said who wanted to bet that he will be talking bs about her in less than a week!
    So sorry that J had to go through all of this bs, we all know that Mayer is a stupid wannabe that just had luck finding beautiful women to hook up with and then kick their butts… if not ask J Simpson and Piggy Hilton (well he is more like a pig and not a beautiful woman but you get the idea)… he is just making a fool of himself, he tried to cling in Jen's fame but I am so sure she was the one to kick his ass!

    The only reason he came forward with this talk is because he couldn't stand to think America was thinking that a girl actually DUMPED him and his ugly ass. I agree with everyone else, he's a dick!

    The rule of thumb is simple: those you EXPLAIN the business to will probably not join, and those you SHOW the website to and take on a TOUR of the website probably will join. Give it a chance and take a look at the overview. Earn cash back on your purchases at over 600+ retail stores! Go to shoptoearn.net/klchadwick or shoptoearth.net/klchadwick , click on my picture on the bottom left and then click on the overview at the top right. No selling or inventory involved! Not a get rich quick scheme. Take a look for yourself at the huge retail partners! Give it a chance, go to my site and email me with any questions. I will show you the actual checks of friends that have made some pretty decent money in just 30 days from referrals and bonuses plus shopping online. It is worth the time to give it a shot and ask yourself, “Why not?”. Ask me a question and I will give you an honest answer. I joined Shop to Earn as a web site broker in order to save money on my online purchases and to make money from referral bonuses. My goal is to introduce at least ten people into this business opportunity within the next month. I am on disability and want to supplement my income in order to help pay for my medical bills from a recent spinal fusion. That’s about as honest as it gets!

    This guy's wgo is 100 times bigger than his fat head. He claims to be such an honest guy yet if he had an ounce of class he would SHUT THE FUCK UP and respect himself…there is no need for him to feed this crap to the media..he is an attention whore and one of his closest friends said he would use Jen for publicity and then dump her. Troila! If he wants to fake being a singer and fuck his fans and every hollywood starlet then he should do just that and keep his mouth shut but he cant since he is a narcistic man-slut! If he had any class he would not have told one of his previous 'fuck of the month' to 'stop contacting me and have some dignity' by posting that on his website..he makes me sick, he is not even attractive and I hope the next flavor of the week he tries to hump tells him to go fuck himself…get over yourself Johnboy..you aint nuthin! And by the way get a fucking aids test..the way you are slutting around you really should get weekly std exams, etc

    1) i'm curious abour HER side of the story
    2) why does she keep getting dumped???? maybe she's horrible in bed!

  72. DLR says – reply to this


    72

    Ah well, I supposed it was good when it lasted. Not sure why Jen has relationship problems. I thought she had it pretty good with Brad, then poof, and she went from guy to guy. She's getting old, so if she wants a baby she better get cracking. I think it is Jen's problem, not John's. I guess it's common among women in Hollywood. Look at Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore. Mimi Driver too. I guess they're all too independent but when it comes to baby-making time they'll be out of luck. Luckily Halle Berry and Camila Alves got it better with their hottie men.



  73. 73

    i love how he goes and sings about "home life" and then does the opposite by serial dating/dumping and fucking everything that moves. and i know he is narcissistic enough to read this shit. you're a hypocrite john mayer, and i can't wait to see what you'll be left with when your celebrity status dwindles down to nothing.



  74. 74

    WOW, can you make it more obvious that YOU were the one DUMPED John???? HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Its about time that John Mayer got DUMPED like yesterdays news!



  75. 75

    He talks about being truthful, but he was lying when he started with her because he knew he didn't want a serious relationship and she did. He always did seem out of his league dating her, but she gave the jerk a chance and he proved to everyone what he's really all about.



  76. 76

    get over yourself! john mayor =TOOL
    i agree w/ whoever said it..if anything hes in love with himself and thats about it.jenn can do sooooooo much better . i hope she meets her guy soon!

    77

    Johny says it best when he says "people have different chemistry, they have different lives..lets unscramble his babbling and determine what he really means by that..Which is: I have never recovered from that kiss I gave Perez and it sparked in me the reality that I really need to find my way out of the closet and be real and honest. Mayperez is the hot new couple to be watching these days! Come on Perez! Dont let this flaming douche out of your sight!



  78. 78

    id still bun a spliff with him, but id say he's a shitty boyfriend.



  79. 79

    I don't particularly like Jeniffer Aniston.. I kinda did back in the day when 'Friends' was big, but after she married Brad Pitt and started acting like she's all that, forgot to thank him when she won her award (was it an Emmy?) and refused to have Brad's kids when he was crying in an interview on national TV I started to dislike her and didn't feel sorry for her at all when he left her for Angie… but to be honest I'm feeling bad for her now especially after what this idiot said, cause no matter how he wanted it to sound and with all the "nothing but kind things" he said about her it only sounded like she was a loser even though this guy is such an asshole especially how he still talks like he's in highschool. I used to LOVE John Mayer up until I realized what a fucking egotistic jerk he is. I don't know what his issues are but maybe you're right, Perez, maybe he is gay after all and just trying to be all macho and cool to cover up for his gayness… you know what, you both suck… but at least Jen has a bit more class



  80. 80

    Re: Jenfraud

    To JenFraud:
    What in the world are you on about??? lol. A PR stunt to make Jen appear less unloved, undesired and unwanted? So how does John admitting to dumping her fit into the equation?????? I think that you better check your notes because this is not making sense!

    I'm not very fond of Aniston myself but I think that the dislike towards her just demonstrates how backward we are as a society. A man can be a whore and nobody cares but a woman is a spinster if she's still doing this past the age of 30. Wake up people: the title of old unwanted spinster goes to Clooney! 50 years of age and still not not married! Poor guy, nobody wants him *sobs*. Jen is filthy rich and successful and has a great body. If she really so desperately wanted a baby don't you morons think that she could have easily found many guys to marry her and knock her up… I already have three guy friends of mine who would be happy to do the job! Wake up peeps!



  81. 81

    What an asshole. What gentleman does this? So what that he says she is great; he's main purpose was to tell the world he was the dumper.

    What an asshole.

    I used to think he was a descent guy; now I hope is dick falls off.

    82

    She must be one horrible lay. Every man she fucks dumps her. I guess I would dump her too if I had to look at that hammerhead while having sex. Maybe she ought to take it up the pooper more often (like Jessica Simpson)?



  83. 83

    I am so disgusted that he went to the tabloids and blabbed about their relationship. Who does that? Besides 15 yr olds like Miley Cyrus? It really sounds like he didn't like people talking about her dumping him so he had to come out looking like a big shot.



  84. 84

    he should have kept his mouth shut and let people think SHE did the dumping, what a DOUCHE BAG! of course she's an idiot for hooking up with him in the first place, so she basically set herself up for this, but still.. she should maybe take a break from guys altogether and maybe do a "lindsay"..



  85. 85

    I don't see a big loss here. Sounds like there was no connection. Let's hope her next pick isn't Armstrong.



  86. 86

    I have to wonder; Maybe Aniston really did tell him that it was time to end it and gave him the option to take credit.

    He sure seems like he would be childish enough to say "Can I say I dumped you?"

    What a fucking droll turd.

    1) He all but word for word copied Robin Quivers' comments regarding her break up w/Jim. Except, it doesn't sound as courageous coming from him. More like fingernails on the chalkboard.
    2) Jen is way outta his league. Way out. That is my guess why he is blogging with the bravado.
    3) GO JEN! GO JEN!!!!!!



  90. 90

    Whatever. They're both messed in the head and it's a good thing they broke up. He's just a weirdo and she's a high-maintenance desperate mess. Not a good combo!



  91. 91

    Perez,

    Thanks for improving your site!
    and second….

    Jen is such a whore…….why do you keep messing with so many men to make yourself feel better???

    Jen is the whore, Angelina didn't care about being alone as a single parent even…she has remained in ONE relationship for a long time and Jen has been in a zillion…

    Jen take care of you and quit opening your legs to every person just because you think your Jen Aniston and can get who you want.

    You may get them, but you sure as hell, can't keep them…



  92. 92

    she deserves so much better….he is such a fucking freak…..he is not even cute
