Holly Robinson Peete says she is done commenting on John Mayer's now-infamous March Playboy interview, in which he dropped the N-word and said he had a crush on the African-American actress.
Before she read the entire interview (not realizing that he had used a racial slur), Peete, 45, told E! News that she was flattered that Mayer, 32, said he had the hots for her.
"I shouldn't have commented on something when I didn’t read the whole thing," she told UsMagazine.com Thursday at the Essence Black Women In Hollywood luncheon in Beverly Hills. "When you put something out there, you can't pull it back. It was a big lesson. It was a viral hot mess. It happened, because I commented on something that I thought was nice. I didn't see all the comments. I'm the one that messed up."
Mayer later apologized, saying that he "should have never said the [N-word] and I will never say it again."

Does Peete accept his apology?
"He has his own issues to deal with," she told Us, "but I do understand that he was remorseful."
Tell Us What You Think
33Who is John Mayer to say anything about anyone, the guy looks DEFORMED, what's wrong with his mouth?
Anon: All black people don't use the N word as a term of endearment. I don't know anyone who does. And if you are white, and someone black called you a slur for white people, wouldn't you take it differently than if another white person called you that same name?
His biggest issue is his music. YUCK!! But I will say that he gets some nice looking tail. And yes, HRP is a piece too!!
I don't care what color Holly is, she is IMO one of the most beautiful women alive, she looks as good now as she did 20 years ago on 21 Jump street.
Holly is a class act and has nothing to apologize for. Mayer is an ass clown, who will talk trash to any media outlet that will listen. He is garbage and will never be on the same level as her.
I'm a black woman who dates men of all races, but I think Mayer is repulsive! He looks like he crawled from under a rock! And his music stinks, too.
john mayer has more than jsut issues he is mental and wasnt' taught any manner
Holly is far from a "nobody". She is an actress in 3 consecutive successful television shows from the 1980s through the 2000s and raises awareness for children with autism, among other things. Just because you don't read about her in the tabloids like other 'celebrities' doesn't mean she's a 'nobody'.
Another article that reeks of "GET A LIFE". Geez, what a waste of space.Who cares.
Anon who is "you" and the "ones"? I love how people defend using the N-word by blaming some faceless, nameless "ones" that supposedly use the word all the time. Great defense. Really.
This board is for comments. If you don't want to talk about it you get a life and leave. John is a loser, pervert, racist and I will never listen to him again and everyone I know can't stand that horrible singer horrible guitar playing fag.
He's a LOSER and CAN NOT play a guitar and sings stupid like some of the other loser white singers out there like Taylor Swift.
ALL YOU POSTERS GET OFF THE CRACK PIPE YOU GUYS ARE ALL RE.TARDED WHATS THIS BLACK WHITE S.H.I.T ALL ABOUT WHO CARES GET OVER IT !
women of all races should avoid this guy like a plague. he's scum. i don't know what women see in him anyway. as a black woman and i love white men. but this a white guy i wouldn't give the time or day.
Totally agree with Anon...it's getting really stale.
The color issue is getting very stale especially when the ones crying foul throw the same slurs around themselves everyday as a "term of endearment." If you dont like it, dont use it period or you lose all credibility when you pretend to be sensitive about it. Last checked there is this thing called free will so why are people being told how to feel/think? The only skin you have to live in is your own. Who cares what others think.
Amen to that, I'm a black girl and would never consider a white male... feeling's mutual I am a white male and I have no desire to have sex with a black girl, That really is my choice, I have black friends, I am not a racist, I think I have the right to chose who I screw.
Yeah man he's a complete waste of space
Holly, shut the f up about it. No one cares that you are still pissed at JM. Stop squeezing minutes of fame from his stupid remarks. Over.
I am a white male and I have no desire to have sex with a black girl, That really is my choice, I have black friends, I am not a racist, I think I have the right to chose who I screw.
