How Sandra Bullock Found Out About Jesse's Affair

By Rob Shuter Posted Mar 18th 2010 02:19PM

By all accounts, it was a regular Monday morning at Sandra Bullock and Jesse James' Hollywood mansion. That was, until Bullock's publicist called with the devastating news that could potentially change the Oscar-winner's life forever. After the jump, the exclusive story about how the awful news was broken to Sandra.

"In Touch magazine had called Sandra's publicist Monday morning to let her know the magazine was going to print an explosive cover story ... saying her husband was cheating," a source at the magazine told me. "At first, camp Sandra dismissed the story until they understood that the magazine had the alleged mistress, tattoo model Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee, on the record telling all."

By the end of the day Monday, Sandra had moved out of the mansion in California and pulled out of her London event to promote 'The Blind Side,' feeling blindsided herself.

"Sandra had no idea that all of this was going on. Not a clue," a friend of the actress tells me. "Now she is with family hoping for privacy. It's bad enough for any woman to find out that her husband has been cheating on her, but to find out from your publicist and then have it on the cover of a national magazine is heartbreaking."

if this is true, the skank says that he didn't wear condoms!!...why would he expose his wife to anything and everything that this skank slept with??!
I don't believe the rumors that the marriage was just a sham, I believe Sandra was truly in love with Jesse (not sure on his feelings, he never much spoke about her in public) but maybe after time, Sandra was just too sweet for Jesse and he needed someone like McGee, all tatted up and let's be honest, a bit rough looking...in the end, he's just another hollywood cheater.
I had thought Sandra and Jesse were going to survive the odds...oh well.

By It's a shame

Wonder why she moved out of the mansion? I'd throw him out! I heard the enitre marriage was a publicity stunt. I've heard so many versions of this story though that I don't know what to believe. If it is true, then that's too bad. And the woman he cheated with, his anyone seen her picture? If not well ewww yuck! She looks like something out of a horror movie. Let him go be with his trampy mistress. He deserves her. They deserve each other.

By Frank

I thought it was a mismatch, wasn't his first wife a stripper? I guess when the cat's away the Tomcat plays

By Trizone

How sad! Sandra From all the Hollywood actresses, I like her the most. I certainly hope it is not true, but if it is, he is an absolute imbecile!

By Janet

O M G Run Sandra Run!

By jomarie

Such a shame, i feel she knew something was going on and hoping it would go away. she looked thin and drawn for the awards last week.
sad for her. the mistress is a gold digger and he is just doing what he has always done.

By elei

No class.. No need to wonder anymore if he could fit in to a place her never belonged. Its obvious now!

By Grace

I love Sandra Bullock. I was so very happy for her when she won all of those awards this last few months! What a total loss. How could Jesse do that to her? She is a beautiful woman, intelligent, sexy & all that...what more do men want of women? I truly feel her pain. I'm going on 38 yrs myself.

Sandra needs to set up residency in Texas and then file for divorice in Texas! Our divorce laws would swipe that smile off her cheating husband's face!

Hold your head high Sandra, kick him to the curb, let your heart heal, then move on. You are an awesome actress, and seem to be a kind hearted, wonderful, greatful, honest sincere lady so like I said hold you head high, it's him that should look down in shame.

By Smithfamilymem

She is Way too good for Him, They dont seem right I would have pictured Her with a doctor or another actor. Never in a million years would I have thought. She would have married Him in the first place So much for that. Put it this way She has Class and Hes a shmuck

Did you ever hear the old saying " you can change the spot on a leopard".
He was on his second marriage.

Then again maybe Sandra just did not take care of business.

By syl1969

And by 'taking care of business' you mean she was out making great movies, winning awards, promoting her craft, and not home spreading her legs at his every whim? She has WAY too much on the ball and WAY too much class for this loser!!

By Gigi

How sad if it's true. I had been married for 21 years to who I thought was my best friend. Then Boom! I was blindsided too and found out he cheated. This was over 5 years ago and the man I'm with now is so opposite of me. Tattoos as well, rough around the edges but has a kind heart. Nothing like the clean cut version of my ex. Although I have terrible trust issues and am avoiding marriage for that reason, I also know that the exterior of a person doesn't make him a bad person. What makes him a bad person is when he breaks her heart.

they are all a bunch of flakes, that get what they deserve. Why do any of you expect anything different. Why are any of you shocked by the behavior that has gone on in that town or that profession.

By shirleyA

My heart goes out to Sandra. If this guy really
did cheat on her, she strikes me as a woman who
wont forgive him or put up with his BS. Her moving
out this soon proves this.

By carmen vega

she knew at the oscars, she barely made contact with hime when they announced her name. she trusted and that's awfull

By Barbatra

He gave up the 100 percent classy lady for the 10 percent whore!!!
