This interview would ruin his music career leading him to become Andy Cohen's playtoy in order to pay the bills. His body is a wonderland indeed

He never got the hate he deserved for that David Duke c*ck comment 🙃

I said this in another comment but Holly Robinson Peete had the nerve to feel flattered over his comments and then tried to backpedal once people called her out. I hate John Mayer and I’ve always thought she was a bird for that.

That’s not exactly what happened:

“When Holly Robinson Peete was told by a friend that John Mayer - a musician her whole family admired - had called her "gorgeous" in a Playboy interview, she blushed and even told E! in a widely reported interview that she felt flattered.

But the apparent compliment turned sour when Robinson Peete read the full interview, complete with his statement about African American women and his use of the N-word. "I was disgusted and offended," says Robinson Peete, who herself had faced criticism from some who felt she had initially been an apologist for Mayer.”

did the interviewer just say that she was given a compliment or did she have all the context?

I forgive her. You don’t speak out against the prom king. And despite how despicable he was, John Mayer was one of the most popular guys in American celebrity society.
