14 DAY TRIAL // With the latest issue of People magazine, Sandra Bullock fans from all over the world will finally find answers to the questions they’ve been constantly seeing in print these past few weeks. Not only does the actress talk about her newly adopted baby boy, Louis, but, according to TMZ, she also addresses the Nazi controversy that started with one particular photo of estranged husband Jesse James.
As the e-zine informs, the People issue will include no less than 10 whole pages of interview with Sandra on topics ranging from the adoption process to her divorce and, last but not least, how she reacted when she saw Jesse’s photo doing the Nazi salute plastered all over the tabloids. This too was a crucial moment in her life, the actress says, for it was when she realized that this was no longer the man she’d married.
“Sandra Bullock – who has now filed for divorce – claims she was absolutely dumbfounded when she first saw the photo of her soon-to-be-ex husband Jesse James giving the Nazi salute... claiming, ‘This is not the man I married.’ 10 pages into her adoption/divorce interview with People Magazine – after front-loading the story with everything but her relationship with Jesse – the magazine asked the question, ‘Were you aware of any interest [Jesse] may have had in white supremacy or Nazism?’” TMZ writes.
“Bullock responded, ‘The photo shocked me and made me sad. This is not the man I married. This was stupid, this was ignorant. Racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life.’ Bullock added, ‘And the man I married felt the same.’ As for her newly adopted African-American baby, Bullock told the magazine she arranged for the child to have a bris – the Jewish circumcision ceremony,” the same media outlet informs.
The photo caused quite a fuss when it got out online, no matter how much James’ attorney tried to downplay its importance, saying it was taken in jest and meant absolutely nothing as to the star’s beliefs. Jesse James’ own father, though, was saying a completely different story the other day, when he went on record to claim Jesse was into all things Nazi ever since he was a kid.
