14 DAY TRIAL // Michelle “Bombshell” McGee may be a name that rings few bells with readers but, for a virtual unknown, she’s making some pretty huge claims. The tattoo model says Jesse James, Sandra Bullock’s husband, has been having an 11-month affair with her, thus making of the thespian the latest victim of “the Oscar curse.” Not only that, but she insists badboy James told her he and Sandra were no longer together, as InTouch Weekly can confirm.
As soon as Kate Winslet announced the other day that she and director husband Sam Mendes had been separated for a few months and would seek a divorce, buzz began to pick up about a so-called “Oscar curse.” Hilary Swank, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry and now Winslet had all fallen victims to it – so InTouch is jumping the gun and has learned that Sandra Bullock will be the next celebrity to announce separation. Moreover, the tab has even tracked down the woman with whom the cheating has allegedly been done – and she’s very willing to have her story into the open, to say the least.
“‘I asked him, What’s going on with you and Sandra? He said, She doesn’t live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming, and I can’t talk about it,’ Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee tells In Touch exclusively. When Sandra Bullock thanked her bad-boy husband, Jesse James, as she accepted her best actress Oscar for The Blind Side, she may not have known that while she was away shooting the film, Jesse was carrying on a steamy affair with a tattoo model. While Jesse has had an 11-month affair, with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, she believed he and Sandra were no longer together. ‘I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man,’ Michelle tells In Touch in an exclusive interview,” InTouch writes.
The affair began, it would seem, while Sandra was filming the movie that got her the Oscar win for Best Actress. “While Jesse was in Atlanta with Sandra when she started to film The Blind Side, Michelle sent West Coast Choppers a friend request because she hoped to snag a modeling gig there. She was surprised that it was actually Jesse who wrote back to her and told her to e-mail him at his personal e-mail. From the start, Jesse wanted to meet Michelle, and it was never about business: ‘He started saying, Do you want to hang out?’ So a week after he got in touch, Michelle drove two hours from her San Diego home to West Coast Choppers in LA,” the tab further explains.
The relationship that started that night was serious – or so believed the tattoo model, who had no knowledge that Jesse James and Sandra Bullock were no longer together and believed him when he told her they had separated. When they could not be together, they used to send texts, and this lasted for about 5 weeks, she says for the mag. A statement from Jesse James on the model’s allegations is still pending.
