John Mayer: Lothario or Romeo?
John Mayer is a busy guy. Since picking up the guitar at 13, the musician has built up quite a resume – guitarist, singer-songwriter, designer, comedian, writer, philanthropist…and some would add notorious lothario.
In the past, he’s been seen cavorting with the likes of Jennifer Love Hewitt, Minka Kelly, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson and now Jennifer Aniston. And we as the public are so quick to see the pictures, soak up the tabloid reports and sear the heartbreaker label into his album covers.
In an interview with Telegraph’s Seven magazine, he steps out of his usually tight-lipped character and explains.
“When I realized that I didn’t wanna wrong anybody by continuing, (I) said, ‘I’d rather be a great friend to you than a bad boyfriend.’”
As for the allegation that he broke a few hearts along the way, John doesn’t see it that way. According to him, all he ever tried to do was bow out gracefully when things weren’t working. (Telegraph.co.uk)
Yes, his life is lived in the public eye so by default he is subject to scrutiny. But is it always fair? I’ve never heard a guy merge talk of his relationship history with the word ‘gracefully’ when trying to describe his intentions. Mayer might have more maturity in the relationship department than a lot of other 30-year-old males, yet he gets skewered for it on a constant basis.
Are our judgment and labels for celebrities ever warranted? Why are we so quick to jump on the judgment bandwagon?
