John Mayer defends Jessica Simpson

by Roberta on January 16th, 2008

John Mayer is urging Dallas Cowboys fans to take it easy on Jessica Simpson, instead of taking the easy route and blaming her for her boyfriend, Tony Romo’s poor performance. The fans are saying that she threw off Romo’s game and caused him to be distracted or something.

Here’s what he wrote on his blog:

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.

I didn’t read a word of it, but if John Mayer says it’s true, then it must be. (Insert witty sarcasm here)
