Jesse James Gets Emotional in 'Nightline' Interview Clip

ABC News has a preview clip of Jesse James' first interview since news of his cheating on wife Sandra Bullock exploded. "I took a pretty amazing life and amazing success and marriage and threw it away," James tells Vicki Mabrey on 'Nightline.' The clip ends with visibly upset James asking to take a break.

"You cheated on your wife," she says. His response? A frank "yup."

Watch the clip after the jump!

James covers just about all the bases with 'Nightline' -- his cheating, his divorce from Sandra Bullock, his stint in rehab and his role in raising Louis, the baby boy Bullock and James recently adopted.

Asked if he's the "most hated man in America," James answers, grinning, "I think it's the 'most hated man in the world,' now."

Since news of his multiple affairs hit the press, James has kept a low profile, and has only been seen dropping his kids off at school. But while he's generally stayed out of the spotlight, the reality star has issued several statements apologizing for his behavior.

When PEOPLE broke the story of Bullock's adoption last month, Jesse released the following statement to the magazine: "My whole life has been full of hard decisions. The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest. The love I have for Louis cannot be put to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart."

The complete interview will air on May 25 at 11:35 PM ET/PT on ABC, and will be previewed on 'Good Morning America' that day.

Still don't get the "LET my wife divorce me" thing. Let her??? You've got to be kidding, arrogant S.O.B. He is getting what he deserves....let him sit alone with his own little pity party, no one else feels sorry for him

By SUE

I think he meant he would let her adopt as a single mom and not fight it...

I think the whole thing is very sad. Sandra obviously loved him very much. I have to admire her for not being a doormat but it is still very sad. When I watched the award show and what she said about him I don't understand how he could do that to her. I think she is a very good person but I also think he has a problem. I may be the only person on here who thinks he probably really does love Sandra but the man has a problem with keeping his pants zipped. He needs serious counseling. I imagine she still loves him but can't trust him and is deeply hurt. No other woman should ever trust him unless he is handcuffed to her wrist. Good luck to Sandra. Thank goodness she a new son in her life that she can now give all that love too.

What a cry baby....does he think Sandra will change her mind or what? Wipe the tears and suck it up, you screwed up now it's up to you how you live the rest of your life.

Jesse is a good man and a great father.Sandra needs to wake up and see this.She`s throwing away the only man that loves her.

HAHAHAHAHA yeah right. Who are you his agent? Good man that cheats with porn starts YUCK, good father that puts his own selfish desires before his childrens feelings, they will be teased and tortured by this the rest of their lives YUCK. I'm quite sure that when she is ready Sandra will have no problem finding someone that will HONESTLY love her.

By cinmore5

He is a liar and a cheater, she would be crazy to put up with that.
He did not just do it once, he knew what he was doing and yet still cheated. He gets no sympathy from me.

Are you out of your mind Do you think he would never cheat on her again? One thing everyone forgets he is a, "BIKER". He will never change he did the same thing to his first wife and two sons. He will never change I don't care if he cries his eyes out he is a CHEATER.

Kenny, at least we know there is someone else out there who is as stupid as Jesse James. Is your real name "Tiger"?

By Sir MackALot

he is a pig, get over it.

By Annette

I feel so sorry for the both of them, you have got to know they still love each other. I have always loved Jesse and Sanra too. They seemed so good for one another. Jesse has got to realize you just don't do them kind of thing if you have a good women, it's just so sad. ( or any women)

we know you're kidding, right?

By Judith

You must be a lying, low life cheater too if you think he deserves a second chance. Sandra is lucky he didn't bring home some horrible disease to her!

By Katie

Kenny, what color is the sky in your world??? The man even admitted to cheating on her! Who in their right mind would take him back? Obviously just another man who sees nothing wrong with cheating. So sad.

By Nikki

Love would have kept his pants up!!!
