John Mayer Still Pop Culture Public Enemy No. 1

Feb. 17, 2010 — -- John Mayer just can't catch a break.

A week after the release of his controversial Playboy interview in which he used the "n-word," likened his penis to a white supremicist and compared sex with ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson to "crack cocaine," Mayer's still pop culture public enemy No. 1.

Actress Holly Robinson Peete told People magazine that she was "disgusted and offended" by Mayer's interview, despite the fact that he called her "gorgeous" while describing black women who he finds attractive.

"This guy has some major issues to sort through and a whole lot of apologies to make," she said. "I heard some apologies about the 'n-word,' and I've seen him crying, which seemed sincere. But I don't know if he understands how much he hurt black women's feelings."

Meanwhile, Simpson is downplaying the role he had in her life. In an interview with Allure magazine (which was conducted prior to the release of Mayer's Playboy tell-all) she said he wasn't responsible for her change in hair color during their 2006-'07 relationship.

"He didn't make me go brunette," she said. "John doesn't get credit for making me brunette. He'd like to think so, but he doesn't deserve the credit."

Earlier today, PopEater.com reported that Oprah Winfrey has also dissed Mayer because of her friendship with another one of his ex-girlfriends, Jennifer Aniston, whom he's spoken about in recent interviews. The report said Winfrey would not let Mayer use her show to make an apology.

Winfrey's public relations representatives at Harpo studios told ABCNews.com that there was no truth to that report.
