Jesse’s apology comes a day after reports that the 45-year-old actress has moved out of the home she shared with Jesse.
Sandra Bullock's hubby Jesse James has finally broken his silence. Following reports that he cheated on his Oscar-winning wife, Jesse has issued a public apology to Sandra and his three children, taking full responsibility for their grief.
Several tabloid and entertainment magazine reports emerged Wednesday claiming that reality TV star husband of actress Sandra Bullock was romantically involved with tattoo artist Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
It’s being reported that the 40-year-old motorcycle builder enjoyed an 11-month fling with the tattooed model, something Jesse neither confirms nor denies in his carefully worded apology.
Jesse’s mea culpa
Jesse, the former host of TLC's Monster Garage, told People magazine in a statement Thursday that he was truly very sorry for the "pain and embarrassment" he has caused wife Sandra Bullock and his three children from previous relationships because of his "poor judgment."
In the wake of allegations of her hubby’s infidelity, Sandra canceled a planned appearance in London for the premiere of "The Blind Side," for which she won an Oscar, a Screen Actors Guild award, and a Golden Globe
The apologetic statement, issued to People, reads: "The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.”
Jesse took full responsibility for the unspecified actions, but stopped short of confirming allegations he had an affair with the 24-year-old tattoo model Michelle.
"There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.
"This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
Mistress opens up, Sandra moves out
Jesse’s apology comes a day after reports that the 45-year-old actress has moved out of the home she shared with Jesse. People.com reported Wednesday that Sandra had left the couple's Southern California home just days before the reports of infidelity by her husband surfaced.
Michelle told the magazine that her fling with Jesse happened when Sandra was away making The Blind Side. She alleged that their affair started in April 2009 after she applied via Facebook for a job modeling for Jesse's motorcycle company West Coast Choppers.
The brunette claimed that a week later, they met and had sex on his Los Angeles office couch 'two or three times.'
In the wake of allegations of her hubby’s infidelity, Sandra canceled a planned appearance in London for the premiere of "The Blind Side," for which she won an Oscar, a Screen Actors Guild award, and a Golden Globe.
Sandra and Jesse were last seen in public together March 7 at the Academy Awards, where Bullock won the best-actress Oscar for The Blind Side.
Sandra and Jesse James’ life together
Sandra married the heavily tattooed celebrity motorcycle builder in 2005. It was the first marriage for Sandra and the third for Jesse, who was previously married to Karla James from 1991 to 2002; they have a daughter, Chandler, and son, Jesse Jr.
He was also married to adult-film star Janine Lindemulder, to whom he was married from 2002 to 2004. They have a daughter, Sunny.
Sandra has no children of her own. She had fully supported her husband at the time he was in midst of his custody battle with Lindemulder over his younger daughter.
