According to the National Enquirer John Mayer has been talking smack about his recent ex, Jennifer Aniston, to anyone who will listen. He is said to expound on how clingy and needy she was, and to be hitting on women wherever he goes. I kind of believe this based on a story in US Weekly last week that claimed that a “Mayer source” said that Aniston was “high maintenance and unbearable.” He does seem the type to talk crap about her, and there’s no denying the lyrics to that new song he debuted on his cruise were unflattering to Aniston:
Not only is [John Mayer] hitting on nearly every attractive woman who crosses his path, John’s bad-mouthing the 40-year-old “Friends” beauty to anyone who will listen, say insiders…
“John’s been recording in a studio and coming on to almost every woman int he vicinity,” a close source told The Enquirer.
“He goes on and on to those woman about how clingy and needy Jen is. He says that when they got back together after their first breakup last August, it was agreed she would back off on the smothering.
“When someone tries to change the subject, he goes back to Jennifer, claiming she was so emotionally dependent and demanding that he couldn’t take it.”
Freewheeling John often goes to dinner at trendy Mastro’s steakhouse in Thousand Oaks, Calif., with his musician buddies – and hits on the young waitresses, divulged an eyewitness at the restaurant.
“John arrives like he’s God’s gift to womankind, and even before being seated, he looks over the female staff and starts coming on to the pretty ones.
“At first they all fought over who would wait on him, but his advances have worn thin. Now they just sort of roll their eyes and say ‘It’s your turn!'”

The Enquirer could just be jumping to conclusions based on the song, “Love Warfare,” that Mayer played on his cruise for fans, but even if that’s the case we know this guy blabbed to the paparazzi after their first breakup, and he’s probably doing it again this time. If this is true, I feel sorry for Jennifer Aniston that he continues to smear her like this. Sometimes a person who would normally be non-needy ends up taking a more pursuing role in a relationship when the other person pulls away. I was like that with an ex boyfriend who was hot and cold with me, but that dynamic didn’t play out in my marriage because my husband is actually there for me and doesn’t play games. It’s not all Aniston’s fault if she was “smothering” John, maybe he was just being a jerk to her and she got scared of losing him.
There is some good news in this story – The Enquirer reminds us that Aniston is the one who dumped John, (reports have been mixed as to who ended it) “because of his wandering eye, blabbing about their lovelife, putting career before love – and refusing to live full time with her or put an engagement ring on her finger. In the end, his immaturity was just too much for her.” He seems to be proving that she made the right decision if this is how he behaves post-breakup.

Grow up, John. Learn the meaning of the word “class” and then try showing some.
Uh, John, without Aniston on your arm, nobody cares what you have to say
This is getting boring now. Both Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are sad cases and both are ugly to boot, who always went for people who were much better then them in looks department, so in reason, they were perfect together. They should just accept that they can’t do better, get back together and disappear.
What he defines as clingy, is anything beyond the ‘sex providing admirer/arm candy’ role that he thinks women are supposed to fulfill for him, while he is all absorbed in his own wonderfulness and gift-to-womanness.
I know his type– he needs to just marry a cardboard cut-out of himself already and get this charade over with. He is all he cares about.
Oh and I so love your analysis– because thats what hapened to me LOL and non coincientally, my ex was born in the same year– snake– and truly believed he was a gift that all woman wanted and needed and that by giving me his time, he was benefitting me and doing me a favor. Major a$$holes these guys are. They pretend to care about you… its easy to fall or it then when you sense thats not the case, you try to pursue or make amends… yup….. again, a$$holes LOLOL
And theyre always going on about ‘love’ this and ‘positive’ that…man. vebatim my ex. Arrogance and love do NOT go together, guys!!
The fact that he feels the need to go on and on about it, to keep his name in the news shows what an attention whore he is, in addition to being classless and immature. I don’t know why any woman would get involved with him.
sounds like he’s the one hung up on her if he can’t stop talking about her.
For John, clingy is probably a phone call a day. What a creepy guy.
he’s a ugly guy!
He’s an ass. But then, she should have known that before she took him back the first time.
If one of the reasons she broke up with him was because he wouldn’t put an engagement ring on her finger, then I can see why he’d call her clingy. They weren’t even together a full year!
He is such a puke…
he got dumped and now he is angry
a$$hole
Didn’t Jennifer assure us that “we’ll never hear that from that man again?
Learn to write more copper-fastened contracts in the future dearie 🙄
He sounds confused. On one hand, he’s persuing other women, but all he can talk about is Jennifer.
I agree, it’s all your point of view. A lot of men like it when their girlfriends are clingy–it means she likes him!
Sounds like Jennifer needs to engage on a deeper level emotionally than Mayer was willing or able to give. I think he’s just too young and won’t marry till his 40s.
Ditto Granger. How you can spin “refusing to live full time with her or put an engagement ring on her finger” as good news, CB, is beyond me! 😛
I still think they were a fake couple and this is a fake break up fight to save face. If that is the case Jen is getting the bad end of all this. So she must still be into pity parties for attention which will backfire on her this time.
He’s talked smack about every woman he’s ever gone out with particularly the high profile ones – so this is not new, nor was it unexpected.
She was only with this yo-yo to try and make her EX jealous and upstage his mate so IMO deserves what she’s getting. Yes, you shouldn’t kiss and tell but the fact that she hasn’t been able to have a mature, long lasting relationship since BP speaks volumes about her, not the men she picks.
I can’t feel sorry for Aniston. She needs to find a better quality man. She seems to just be looking for a young man. She should try some one closer to her own age who may be more mature.
Well…considering the source! I hope its not true. If it is then John is a true punk.
God he’s a douchebag!!
He needs his ass kicked for him. By a girl. I will gladly volunteer my services.
When you compare her post break-up comments to his, you can definitely see who has the maturity of the pair.
She probably did get sick of his mind games and decide to just call it an enjoyable fling and move on to someone older who can keep his trap shut.
My only wonder is if there is a woman silly enough to give this guy a chance.
After he did the same to 3 big stars (Cameron, Jessica S. and JA) and the entire world was forced to hear him going on and on, I just wonder if anyone would be silly enough to give it a go.
I hope he doesn’t have animals that depend on him. That guy should stay alone.
I’m sure there are loads of women standing in to give him a try. Why did Jen give him a try after the bad treatment he gave to Jessica Simpson.
Women are going to keep buying his music which keeps him rich and the women chasing him. Mayer is in a win-win situation because women are not loyal to other women. Jen should have stayed away from him after he balanced the liquor bottle off Jessica’s head and deep kissed Prez Hilton the same NYE night but Jen didn’t care.
I like your objectiveness, CB… 🙂
I bet he misses the paparazzi because they aren’t following him anymore like they used to when he was with Jen. The buy is an ugly jerk!
He’s an asshole. She knew that when she got together with him. All you have to do is pay attention to how he treated his other exes.
And I do not understand why this woman spends so much money on beauty treatments. I really hope the report on the amount of money she spent on her hair was not true because it is horrible! She got lucky with the “rachel” cut.
No matter what happened in a man’s past relationships, a lot of women think they are better than the ex and that somehow their love will transform him from a frog into a prince. Women are pretty competitive with other women.
IMHO most people don’t change their behavior that much from one relationship to the next. The difference is how the new partner perceives them and how closely their needs match.
Mayer is obviously spending most of his efforts working on his career, so a high-maintenance girlfriend would not be a good fit. When he’s older he may have more time for relationships, family, etc.
I have to laugh when people say Jennifer dumped John, especially when reasons for the dumping are given. If a guy is coming on to every girl he meets, puts career before his relationship, and refuses to take the next step in a relationship, clearly he’s not into you. Sorry, no pun intended. Jennifer still looks foolish because she got involved with John in first place. He is known for his immaturity and she put up with his behavior for year. Obviously Jennifer meant little to John. I think he, Jennifer too, enjoyed the attention. They looked ridiculous gushing over each other at the Oscars.

Couldn’t have said it better, thanks Kate.
