John Mayer Defends Jessica Simpson Over Cowboy Fans’ Criticism

John Mayer checked in with fans on his official web site’s blog on Tuesday (January 15), coming to the defense of his ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson after she’s been facing criticism for her relationship with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Following the team’s exit in their first playoff game of the season, some blamed her for the bye week getaway to Cabo she and Tony took. Mayer writes:

Dear Dallas and Surrounding Areas,

This isn’t a sports blog, and it isn’t a publicity stunt. (but have at me if it feels right.)

This is about doing what I think is right as a person, in this case speaking my mind.

I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. I don’t really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I’m betting emotions are running high right about now.

All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It’s one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don’t try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn’t be able to, but it’s less work for all involved.)

I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this. And if I’m out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday’s worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul.

JM

    I’d rather see a pretty talented woman singing than a piece of fabric and a skull with skin stretched over it.
