Holly Robinson Peete on John Mayer: "I Find Him Extremely Refreshing"

By Sarah Crow Posted Feb 11th 2010 12:09PM

John Mayer found himself in hot water this week after a Playboy interview, in which Mayer dropped the N-bomb, appeared online. Mayer subsequently apologized, and apologized, and apologized, but there's one actress who's still on the singer's side, despite his racist remarks.

Holly Robinson Peete, who Mayer described as "gorgeous" despite his "David Duke c***", tells E! Online she is "levitating" since hearing the singer's comments. "There's nothing that makes a 45-year-old mother of four feel better than when she's dropping her kids off at school than to get a link on my iPhone that says John Mayer thinks I'm hot."

Mayer, whose sexually-charged interviews and high-profile relationships have made him a tabloid darling in recent years, can count on continued support from both Peete and her husband, former Carolina Panthers star Rodney Peete. "I don't know who is happier -- me or my husband... Rodney has like a big giant bromance crush on John Mayer." Robinson Peete adds, "I think he's so damn funny... I find him extremely refreshing and amusing."

Holly, I think you are kidding, but just in case you are not, read the entire interview. It's pretty smutty. Since you are a mom of school aged kids, I don't think you'd want your kids to get a hold of the transcript, now or when they are much older. Trust me, you should not be flattered, just because someone thinks you're hot, especially in this context. I don't think your husband would be flattered either, if he really understood what JM was saying about you.

You're right. She released a statement to People after reading the full interview.

She hates him too.

WOW... now this is funny. I think that most hollywood people are all the same. Fakeness just seems to run rampant there. Really? Get real!

Ladies, skip this little p*ick. He's talking sour grapes, and bitin' off our music while he's at it. As far as sucking his d*ck goes, why would we order a McNugget when we can get a Big Mac? Color aside, Mayer's proabably hung like a TicTac! I'd love to see him disprove this certainty in a PLAYGIRL spread! Think he's "up" for it, girls?
