Although the duo may no longer be going out, it doesn’t mean that John Mayer still doesn’t have kind words for his recent ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston.

According to E! News, the singer had the following to say about the former “Friends” star in an interview with Us Weekly.

“If you guys are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun, have somebody stand up for somebody,”” the singer said. “Have me as a man who ended a relationship stand here and write some truth. Have me stand up for somebody and write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I’ve ever met…”

“She’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met in my life and I’m going through something that’s a very personal thing and you have to give that up. You have to give everything up because you can’t have it all and it sucks.

“I’m sorry that the story’s not interesting,” Mayer added. “But it’s about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she’s great.”
