Robinson Peete ‘disgusted And Offended’ By Mayer
By WENNSaturday, February 13, 2010
Actress HOLLY ROBINSON PEETE has been left “disgusted and offended” after reading JOHN MAYER’s full interview with Playboy magazine - even though she was previously thrilled he had called her “gorgeous” during the chat.
The rocker has been mired in controversy following publication of the interview, in which he used the ‘N’ word when talking about his African-American fanbase, and revealed lurid details about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson.
Mayer also used the interview to single out Robinson Peete for praise, calling her “gorgeous”, and the TV star was initially flattered when she found out about the musician’s crush. She told E! Online: “I’m levitating. John Mayer thinks I’m hot.”
But she has since read the full article and is fuming about Mayer’s “racially charged” comments.
