Jesse James has described the moment that he told his now ex-wife Sandra Bullock about his affair, saying that Sandra’s “small body shook with sobs” as he told her.
The new details of the couple’s well-publicised split have been revealed in Jesse’s new memoir, American Outlaw.
Us magazine has released part of the 42-year-old’s memoir in which he tells of the moment he came clean to his Oscar-winning wife of six years in the office of his motorcycle repair shop, West Coast Choppers.
“I admitted the affair,” James wrote.
“I told her the hard details. I let her know that I had never loved this woman [Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee], that I had never cared for her at all.
“The feeling of shame and sadness that washed over me as Sandy began to cry was almost beyond measure … I didn’t touch her. I sat frozen in my chair, watching, as Sandy’s small body shook with sobs.”
James revealed that before he told his then wife about his affair he first received a call from her publicist warning that McGee was about to sell her story to a tabloid.
The reality TV star wrote that after he confessed to his then wife, Sandra “rose to her feet … unfolded her sunglasses and put them on her face … She walked steadily and purposefully to the front of the shop, opened the heavy, metal door. For a moment, the sunlight enveloped her. The door closed behind her, and she was gone.”
He also wrote about how he explained Sandra’s sudden disappearance to his young daughter, seven-year-old Sunny.
“I chew my lip as I consider my answer. Well, sweetie, the truth is, I have no idea. Daddy f—ed up, real, real bad, so your step-mummy decided to disappear for a few weeks,” he wrote.
He also revealed that Sandra and Sunny haven’t seen each other in months and that he hasn’t seen Louis Bardo, the little boy Sandra adopted, since “everything happened”.
James, who is now engaged to LA Ink star Kat Von D, has shown no remorse for writing about the very public split. He told Good Morning America it was time to make himself happy.
“I can’t worry about her anymore,” he said in the interview.
“I think I spent a lot of the past five or six years worrying about her … It’s time to make sure I’m happy.”
