Bullock's Marriage over

KOMPAS.com - Sandra Bullock has told friends there is no chance of saving her marriage.

The US actress - who recently won an Oscar for her performance in The Blind Side - told friends that since her husband of five years, Jesse James, cheated on her with tattoo model Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, she can't trust him enough to give him another chance.

A friend of the actress told the Chicago Sun Times newspaper: "Sandy has decided there's no way their relationship can be fixed. Once the trust is gone, there's nothing left."

Bullock is also said to be distraught at being apart from James's six-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Sunny. Another source claims the actress might seek custody of the girl if a divorce goes ahead.

The source told X17 Online: "Sandra is going to go ahead and file for divorce and she is also wanting to get custody of Mr James's young daughter.

"Her lawyers are telling her that there is a possibility that she could get custody since the child's mother is unfit and Jesse is an adulterer. She wants that little girl and is ready to fight to get her."

Sunny has lived with James and Bullock since her biological mother, adult film star Janine Lindemulder, was jailed for tax evasion in December 2008. Lindemulder has since battled to regain custody of Sunny.

James also has two other children from a previous marriage.

Bullock, 45, left her the home she shared with James over a week ago and friends have told she is "devastated" by her husband's behaviour.

James has spoken publicly about the allegations and admits he deserves "everything bad" that might come from his "bad judgment".

He said: "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 everything bad that is coming my way."

"Chronic cheater"

James has been branded a “chronic cheater” by Lindemulder

Lindemulder – who separated from the motorcycle enthusiast after one year of marriage in May 2003 – insists she was not surprised to learn the Monster Garage presenter had bedded McGee.

She said: "He's a chronic cheater. I feel sorry for Sandra because she was so in love with Jesse that she was blind and gullible. She once said, 'I finally have a man who has my back.' And all I could think was, 'No. You have this man who does it behind your back.'"

Lindemulder claims that James was unfaithful to her soon after they tied the knot and he refused to change his behaviour throughout their union.

She also claims he propositioned her over the phone when he was with Bullock.

She said: “I remember at one point, about six months after he started dating Sandra, when he asked me to come by the shop. I told him, 'No way.' Later, he texted me, 'Thank God you didn't come by, because we would have been bad.'

"His famous line was, 'Tell me something nice.' He would say he'd had a rough day and wanted you to tell him something nice … It was hard to say no to the guy."

The former porn star also alleges James told her he regretted marrying Bullock just weeks after they tied the knot in July 2005.

Speaking of a phone call she received from James shortly after the wedding, Lindemulder told In Touch Weekly magazine: "He said, 'I want to come up to Oregon. I think I made a huge mistake.'"
