14 DAY TRIAL // Yesterday, a tattoo model going by the name of Michelle “Bombshell” McGee went to the US tabloids to reveal that she’d been having an 11-month affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband, Jesse James. As the story went to press, the actress canceled her appearance at the UK premiere of “The Blind Side,” and she’s done so in order to have time to move out of the family home, People magazine suggests.
The story came as a shock to the entire world, especially since it’s only a few days that James was gushing about how his wife leaves him breathless every time he looks at her, which is how he described their relationship after she won an Academy Award for best actress at this year’s ceremony. Moreover, rumors of the two having problems with their marriage never got out in the media – but that could also be explained in other ways as well, one of them being that they were simply very good at hiding it.
“Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are not living under the same roof right now. The actress left the Southern California house she shares with James just days before a report of infidelity by her husband surfaced, a source tells People. Bullock, 45, left on Monday, the source says. Bullock, who won her first Oscar – a Best Actress award – for The Blind Side on March 7, also abruptly canceled a trip to Europe for the London premiere of the film. Bullock and James, 40, met in 2004 during a tour of the set of the Discovery Channel’s Monster Garage, which James starred in,” People magazine writes.
As also noted above, shortly after allegations of James’ cheating hit the tabloids, Sandra Bullock pulled out of the London premiere of her critically acclaimed movie, citing personal reasons for it. “Due to unforeseen personal reasons a trip abroad to support The Blindside has been deemed impossible at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued support of the film,” a statement released by Warner Bros on behalf of Sandra said.
So far, neither Sandra Bullock nor Jesse James has commented in any way on the allegations made by the tattoo model. She, on the other hand, continues to be very vocal about the so-called affair she had with James.
