Hinting at how the Kardashians may have been behind it all, John told Andy: 'Little suspicious about the origin of the story…not sure the call’s not coming from inside the house on this one.'

He continued, commending the rumor-starters for their devious yet ingenious strategy.

'If the call is coming from inside the house…it’s diabolical and genius,' John said, 'Because when people start gossiping about you and someone else, and they start putting your pictures together, it gets real suggestive.'

He explained some of the reasons he was peeved by the gossip, telling Andy: 'The only part that made me upset, to any degree, was that somebody said that when I saw Kourtney, that I said "It was sweet serendipity running into you."'

The line was even too 'corny' for the singer, who continued: 'Which I would never say! But if you're getting paid to write the stories... If you listen to every John Mayer song and say "What's the next thing he might say based off all the lyrics you just read... It might be [that].'
