John Mayer has defended former girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, describing their publicised breakup as “the most normal thing in the world,” despite claims that he’d cheated and was running from committment.
“If [the paparazzi] are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun, have somebody stand up for somebody,” the singer said. “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,” he continued. “You have to give everything up because you can’t have it all and it sucks.”
The 30-year-old performer added: “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.”
When a reporter asked Mayer whether he was seeing someone else at the time he split from Aniston, he exploded back, “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,” he explained. “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.
Mayer added: “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.”
