Joe Jonas Responds

The Jonas Brothers have hit back at Taylor Swift. As you know, Swift has been spilling her guts about the demise of her relationship with Joe Jonas. According to Swift, Joe cheated on her with now-girlfriend Camilla Belle and broke up with Taylor over the phone in 27 seconds. So, the brothers have posted a statement on their site. The start with "why" they're commenting and then go on to say:

To Our Fans from Joe:

This blog is not an attack of anyone. 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. 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.

There were later attempts at communication that had no response.

I wish 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.

We love you and miss you

Joe, Kevin and Nick"

Do you think this in anyway redeems Joe? Should he have commented or kept mum? I think it seems pretty typical of what happens in the relationships 18 year olds enter into. The only difference is that alot more people know what happened in this one!
