The Defense of Joe Jonas. Do you Believe it?

Joe Jonas decided to stand up for himself on his Myspace page after being lambasted so many times in so many fronts by ex-girlfriend, country music star Taylor Swift

He posted this on the MySpace.com celebrity blog page Thursday but it was removed Friday afternoon. Who knows why? Maybe he just wanted some people to read it? Or maybe he changed his mind about defending himself, after all good and bad publicity is still publicity. Anyway here's a clip from the post:

"It is our normal rule to avoid talking about our private lives," the letter begins. "It seems that it has come to the point where we must address a few things. We would prefer to address these things and then leave it alone from that point forward. We felt like it was important to respond because recent events have affected our fans. It is important to us as artists and brothers to enlighten regarding this situation. Our fans are the most important thing to us.

"There are rumors and suggestions that are being publicized in the press right now about us," the letter continues. "Like all people our age, we are trying to find someone special that we can share time with in our busy lives. We all have busy schedules and high demands. We love our life and are thankful for all that we have. We are simply stating that it is difficult to maintain relationships with the kind of life we live."

Next, Joe tackles the topic, never once mentioning Swift by name. "This blog is not an attack of anyone," his missive begins. "Anytime you are in a relationship for any length of time, there are going to be issues. Sometimes they resolve; other times they lead to a change of heart. This was the case recently."

"Several things I will state with all my heart. I never cheated on a girlfriend. It might make someone feel better to assume or imply I have been unfaithful but it is simply not true," he said. "Maybe there were reasons for a breakup. Maybe the heart moved on. Perhaps feelings changed. I am truly saddened that anything would potentially cause you to think less of me."

"For those who have expressed concern over the '27 second' phone call, I called to discuss feelings with the other person. Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk. A phone call can be pretty short when someone else ends the call. The only difference in this conversation was that I shared something the other person did not want to hear. "

"Anytime you are in a relationship for any length of time there are going to be issues," he writes. "Sometimes they resolve. Other times they lead to a change of heart. This was the case recently."

He said he wishes the best for "the other person but could not sit back any longer and leave our fans with a wrong impression of the truth. Hope this helps enlighten a little."

I bet Taylor Swift didn't believe a word of that, but at least that's something for the rest of the teenage world to think about. Okay Joe Jonas, if this was the case, and I do believe that there is some truth to this very long litany of yours. Still man, don't break up with a girl over the phone. Talk to her in person for crying out loud!
