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."

I can sympathize with Sandra. Mine had a two year affair and I knew nothing. I am glad she moved out. Toss him to the curb honey and hold your head high. You did nothing wrong expect way too much out of a dog. There is someone out there worthy of you, it's just not him! Prayers are with you girl. Keep smiling!

By Smylr

She should just throw him out like the trash he is acting like. Give this guy a second chance and he'll do something equally hurtful later on.
Sorry but time to start over.

Sandra, call me ! I`ll treat you right !

By JBaer

I thought after the Tiger Woods brouhaha, people would be less shocked to hear about cheating husbands. Apparently I was wrong.

Everybody loves a wandering (EXPLETIVE DELETED).

sandra needs her privacy right now to figure things out and to heal. i would have kicked him out of the house, let him go stay with his girl friend,, what an ass

By lynne

typical dumb ass male.. leave his ass and take ALL your money with you...

I have always loved Sandra Bullock.Her movies have got me thru a lot. I truly believe that nothing happened between the
"Bugshell" and Jesse.I watched the Oscars and the way Jesse
was looking at Sandra (with tears in his eyes) I believe in my heart that he really loves her and maybe the tears were because he realized his 'mistake'.Females like 'Bugshell' are only out
to get all they can.And we all know that 'single' men don't need
to pay that's why all these ho's go for the married guys. I hope
Sandra will (after her pain eases a bit) at least talk to Jesse and maybe try to work things out.Jesse, if Sandra does forgive you, please don't do this again, believe me it isn't worth it.

By momof3sons

Typical male showing he had two heads, but only uses one!~

Sanda you are a great and beautiful woman - don't take the loser back! Once a cheater always a cheater.

By dezidew

Let's see, I meet a guy, like him, find out one of his ex's was a porn star and what, should anyone be surprised? Although I feel badly for Sandra she should've been "wise" and mature enough to know that she was taking on a gigantic gamble. Like they say if it quacks like a duck it's a duck. Wise up women and stop thinking you can change a man....

By alice

I am not suprised about him cheating but feel so very sorry for
her. She does not deserve this but I couldn't believe she saw in him and then married him in the first place. What a jerk!!! She would be a fool if she went back to him.

By roz

Sandra you deserve better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

By jim

Women like the bad boys. The good guys are booring to them. Oh well, thats Holywood for you.

By Kate

Guess love is blind. This "ink" girl is awful. Sandra hopefully will move on. She is beautiful and deserves so much better.

By Tanya Hernandez

First the custody issues and now this...I feel sorry for the children.

By YouGotaBeKiddingMe

I already knew she was too good for him from the get go, I also knew he would be the one to do something as dumb as this to her. He was too low class for her and he was lucky to have her as long as he did! I was wishing I could have told her about what I thought but when in love they do not listen. Sandra loved him way too much, that was obvious. I feel for her.

By bludiamond

At this point... true or false, the story has caused hurt and embarrasment. My heart goes out to Sandra either way. Isn't there a law saying that you can sue another women for having sex with your husband... hummmm.. mental anguish? I'll have to check on that.. at the very least go for every std test there is.. put it on Jesse's bill.

Marraige is a vow you take for better or worse. In hollywood rumors fly by the vultures to break up marraiges, He didnt beat her or brow beat her , so he had a moment of weakness, and he apoligized but then again if it continued thts a different story
shame on al of you. you probably believe in abortions also.
