Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, the 24-year-old tattoo model who claims to have had an 11-month affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband, CEO of West Coast Choppers Jesse James, came out with her story when she did for a hefty paycheck. She knew from the start the two were together but still had an affair with James because she knew that would be her only shot at international fame, sources tell Technorati.

In the interview that appeared in a US weekly the other day, McGee claimed that she got involved with James only after he assured her that he was separated from Bullock. Even more, she hinted that she was led to believe their marriage was nothing more than a sham, insisting she would never get romantically involved with a married man. Not quite so, says the report, since she only did because she got paid - $30,000 for a day’s work and no less.

“Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee is the latest unchaste woman to destroy a high-profile marriage. She didn’t do it for love or even lust, she did it for fame and a payday. Sources close to the ‘tattoo model’ revealed exclusively to Technorati, that McGee, mother of two, was paid close to $30,000 for her story about the alleged affair between her and West Coast Choppers CEO and hubby to Oscar winning actress Sandra Bullock. Our source tells us McGee was fully aware that Sandra and Jesse were still together when she began the affair, and was hoping the affair would be her ticket to ‘mainstream celebrity.’ Mainstream infamy is more like it,” Technorati writes.

“McGee, who has too many tattoos to count covering at least 70% of her body, including her face, approached James about modeling for his well-known company. She claims Jesse emailed her and told her to correspond with him at his private email. The two met at his garage and it was then they began their intimate relationship, which she states lasted 11 months. There’s even more disturbing news in this story which alleges James texted her as recently as March 14, just days after his wife’s incredible Oscar win for Best Actress. Bullock, who has publicly and privately support her husband and his bid to win full custody of his youngest daughter Sunny, must be incredibly hurt and devastated to find out he was intimate with another woman,” the report goes on to say.

Just hours ago, Jesse James issued a public apology to his wife and children in which he says he’s the only one responsible for how he’s being treated in the media right now. However, he also insists “most” of the allegations to recently go to press are “unfounded,” which could be interpreted as a half-confirmation of the affair.
