Jonas Brothers Respond to Criticism

After 2008 MTV VMAs host Russell Brand took a shot at the Jonas Brothers for their purity rings, the teen sensation spoke to the BBC.

Nick Jonas said, “For us it’s cool to see that he recognizes we are gentleman.” Brand also apologized to the trio after the remarks after the event.

Kevin also added, “We had a lot of friends there and everybody’s so nice. We had a good time!”

Despite the verbal jabs, Nick showed class and complimented Brand on his hosting job saying, “I think he did a good job. We saw him on Conan O’Brien and thought he was hilarious.”

Paris Hilton and Jordin Sparks also spoke up for the band of brothers.

I think that JB was being very mature and classy for accepting Brant’s apology. I don’t think the comments were THAT bad, but they were offensive in a way, even though he was just trying to make people laugh.
