Is Jesse James really sorry he cheated on Sandra Bullock
In an interview set to air tonight on ABC’s Nightline, Jesse James says he cheated on his soon-to-be ex-wife Sandra Bullock because he was self-destructive and that he lied to everyone, even himself.
James said it was hard to see Bullock on “People” magazine with the adopted baby boy they planned to raise together.
“It made me sad, but I realize why things have to be done in a certain way,” he said in a “Good Morning America” preview, apparently referring to how adoption official saw his affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.
James says Bullock is an amazing mother.
“She’s like a fish to water. As soon as she put that baby in her hand it was automatic and amazing,” he said.
When asked why he and Bullock decided to adopt a black child, James said “I want the baby that needs us the most.”
Despite a US Weekly photo if him pretending to be Hitler, James said he is not a racist. The photo was a stupid joke that is far from funny now, he said.
“I think out of anything this is why I’m doing this interview the most,” he say in a clip. “Because dealing with losing my marriage and my son and embarrassing everyone and decimating my life. But to be called a racist on top of that, it makes me really sad seeing the photo and the way I look. I don’t even remember taking the photo.”
In an earlier teaser, James said he never wanted to hurt Bullock.
“I knew it was horrible. It made me feel horrible,” he says in a teaser posted on Nightline’s web site. “I knew I would get caught eventually and I think I wanted to get caught… It was me trying to self-sabotage my life.”
James seriously looks sad, but you’ve got to wonder if he really is. Is he sorry or just sorry he basically got caught with his pants down?
What do you think? Is James being honest?
