Jesse James issues apology to Sandra Bullock and children
Jesse James has issued a vague apology to Sandra Bullock and his children, in light of the tabloid claims that he had an affair. In a statement provided to People, James says: “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. 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. 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.” Yesterday, Bullock canceled her appearance at the London premiere of The Blind Side amidst the infidelity rumors.
