The Shocking Jesse James Infidelity Scandal

It seems that only yesterday Oscar winner Sandra Bullock and Monster Garage bad boy, Jesse James, were the epitome of love and happiness. Well that no longer seems to be the case, ever since Jesse James’ alleged booty call, check this… Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, hilarious… Tiger’s girls got nothing on her, that’s for sure. According to Bombshell’s roommate, Lindsay Sinai, James and McGee first met when McGee friend-requested him on MySpace and next thing you know, Jesse was messaging, calling, and asking her to hang out.

Sinai stated that “Their relationship was more like a friendship [with benefits], nothing was ever said about a future. Once she did realize that they (Jesse and Sandra) were together, there was a lot of regret there.” Sinai was also told by Bombshell that James asked McGee for “dirty pictures” a few times, but that most of his texts were “innocent”.

So I’m thinking, every time one of these scandals are going to surface up, are we going to compare them to Tiger Woods and his team of trollops? Because I was looking at all the facts, and immediately started thinking… oh it’s not that bad. I mean there was only one girl, his text messages were “innocent”, it wasn’t that serious and it only happened a few times. Wait a minute… What’s wrong with me??? No one is going to beat Tiger Woods and his sexual escapades!!! This supposed “reformed” bad boy gets his act cleaned up for a few years and suddenly he can do no wrong? He cheated on Sandra Bullock for God’s sake!!! One of the most beautiful, successful and wweet people in America! She doesn’t deserve this.

When this story first unraveled, the first thing I heard was that Sandra Bullock canceled her London appearance promoting her Oscar-winning movie and moved out of the couple’s home due to Jesse James’ infidelity. Then, Jesse made a public apology to his wife and his three kids from previous marriages:

“There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me, It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve every bad thing that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them, I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me. The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.”

Some say, it is the workings of the “Best Actress Oscar” curse. It seems that almost every Best Actress Oscar win in past years was followed by a major break-up. First Julia Roberts and Benjamin Brett divorced in 2001 after she received the reward for Erin Brockovich. Second was Halle Berry, who won Best Actress in 2002 for Monster’s Ball, and shortly there after her marriage to musician Eric Bennett was over due to infidelity. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise split two years before she won her Best Actress award for The Hours in 2003. In 2004 Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend split after Theron received her award for Monster. Hilary Swank took her turn when she split from hubby Chad Lowe, only a year after receiving Best Actress in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby. Reese Witherspoon walked out on Ryan Phillippe after 7 years, two kids and an award for Walk The Line, when rumors that Phillippe had an affair with fellow actress Abbie Cornish. And last but not least, Kate Winslet and director Sam Mendes just announced that they were splitting up.

So the question on every ones mind is… what’s next? Will the Academy Award curse take another victim or will Sandy and Jesse work through his infidelity and try to save their marriage? One thing’s for certain… this is not the first or the last celebrity scandal.
