Sandra Bullock picking up Jesse James' kids from school (old photo)

I’ve refrained from posting anything about the Sandra Bullock / Jesse James mess that’s happened over the last few days because I was really, really hoping it was all a bunch of lies but the evidence just kept building. Jesse James’ mistress came forward, Sandra Bullock pulled out of a premiere, then reports surfaced that she moved out of their house. But now Jesse James has broken the silence and has confirmed himself to be a giant douche.

“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.

“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.”

When Sandra won the Oscar for Best Actress just a few weeks ago they showed Jesse James in the crowd with tears of pride in his eyes. And just before that Sandra Bullock fought tooth and nail in the custody battle between Jesse James and his porn-star, jail-bird ex-wife. They seemed so rock solid. It makes me incredibly sad when things like this happen.

My question about this: why do these women come forward? You’re having an affair with a married man – what did you expect to happen? Are they upset that the men didn’t leave their wives for them? Or that they never called them back? Is this a move of spite to ruin their lives, marriages, careers and reputations? Or is it all just so they can get interviews and their 15 minutes? I’d say THIS is the lowest point: knowing that you’ve been doing something wrong and then taking everybody down with you. For shame.
