Video: Jesse James Tears Up in 'Nightline' Interview
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.

Wow KP I just didn't want to be the one to say this, but YEAH!! She knew he dated porn stars, tattooed women. But, love is blind, blindfolded, in the total dark, so, now the blinders are off, the lights are on bright, and Sandra has seen the light, uuuhahhhhhhh ( shining light noise ).
ooooh, he's good. Waterworks always work on tv. I'm sure the tears are real, though, he feels deeply sorry for himself.

Awful , horrible and very sad ; but you without sin , throw the 1st stone !

Yes, we are all sinners. Maybe if Jesse is religious he should go to church and talk to a church counselor. I'd like to be a bug on the wall in that room.
She already has a "little man" who loves her. Her son! Sorry Jesse, but, we never know what a good thing we've had till it's gone! Life goes on!

Well you know you take those marriage vows and you should take them very seriously. Marriage is for life. You can have problems, yes infidelity, and the lying that goes with it, the distrust, everything this entails. You know you have a choice, either fight hard to hold it together, learn from your mistakes and don't repeat them, or you can work it out together. If you do this together, down the road you form an even stronger love for each other. Its true, I know it is. I live it.

James's display of emotion is one created by his realisation of how darned stupid he has been. It is really too late for him to save this marriage but the future may bode well for him if he thinks before he unzips. Tough love, sunshine!

He made some terrible mistakes and used very poor judgement ..Buy you know (and I will take the heat for this one) I really feel sorry for him . I feel sorry that he will now go through life living with what he's done .I feel sorry for him because he probably won't be ok .I feel sorry for him that he won't have the happiness of a loving wife and family . And of course I feel sorry for Sandra because she was so betrayed by him . But Sandra and her baby will be ok and will find happiness . She is a strong and beautiful woman . But Jesse won't . He has nothing now . And that is the price we pay for our mistakes .

Most of us wouldn't really remember Liz Taylor and her days with the men and others like Debbie Reynolds, but they weren't tattooed hungry sex fiends, just actors flinging around with each other.
