Jesse James’ ex-wife Janine Lindemulder gave an exclusive interview to In Touch Weekly for this week’s cover story. Janine’s accusations against Jesse are rather hardcore, but remember, they are in a bitter custody dispute, and there doesn’t seem to be any love lost between them. I think she would say anything to get back at him, but I also think she probably knows him, knows what he’s like, knows what kind of man he is. Anyway, Janine basically says that yes, Jesse is planning to move to Austin to be closer to Sandra and work on their relationship, but if things fall through with Sandra, Jesse has a “backup plan” involving another girl/mistress. Ugh.

After making her first two public appearances since the infamous cheating scandal that destroyed her marriage, Sandra Bullock looked so radiant and happy that many believed she had finally put her estranged husband, Jesse James behind her, although some insiders still believe there may be another bomb lurking, ready to detonate.

In an exclusive interview with In Touch, Jesse’s ex-wife Janine Lindemulder reveals that even though he’s supposedly moved to Sandra’s town of Austin, Texas, in the hopes of reconciling with Sandra, Jesse hasn’t changed his stripes at all.

“He told me that if he doesn’t get back together with Sandra, he’s got a ‘backup plan’ with another girl in Austin,” Janine claims to In Touch. While a friend of Jesse’s insists that he does want to reconcile with Sandra — and is seeing no other women as a result — Janine says that having a secret lover in Austin would be right in character for the serial cheater.

“Every city he goes to — even if he didn’t have a girl that lived there, I believe he would fly a girl in,” claims Janine. “I think Jesse gets off on that, the thrill of doing it right under her nose.”

As reckless as it seems, this behavior is all too familiar for Jesse, 41, whose multiple extramarital relationships came to light in March after tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee revealed to In Touch their secret 11-month affair. But still, Janine is shocked.

“Imagine it,” she marvels, considering the fact that Sandra has been raising their adopted son, Louis, in Austin. “Imagine him saying he is moving to Austin to be a dad to 5-month-old Louis and to be there for Sandra, uprooting Sunny — and it’s because he might be pursuing mistresses. He could be off his rocker.”

I really don’t doubt that Jesse has other girls in other cities, or that he’s “dating” other women while he attempts to reconcile with Sandra. I don’t think he knows what he wants, or maybe he just wants what he used to have – a wife, a veil of respectability, and lots of skanky pieces on the side. Some men like that – they don’t want to admit that women like Bombshell McGee turn them on, because they want to feign the image of relative wholesomeness, so they get married to a nice girl, and then they cheat on that nice girl with whatever forehead-tattooed neo-Nazi comes around. Eh. I hope Sandra’s not falling for his sh-t, I really do.
