Sandra Bullock’s rep has been issuing denials to the major media outlets, trying to roll back this morning’s “Sandra is consulting a divorce lawyer” story (here for MSat’s take). According to E! News, the divorce lawyer story is “completely false.” Um… really?
No one knows how Sandra Bullock is going to handle the mess left by Jesse James’ alleged wandering eye.
But we know how she isn’t going to handle it—at least as of right now.
Despite a report that the Oscar winner has lawyered up in advance of dropping the big D on her husband, a rep for Bullock tells E! News that tales of her seeking out a divorce attorney are “completely false.”
[From E! News]
God, I’m beginning to feel the same creeping sense of disappointment that I felt with Fergie (after Josh Duhamel’s affair with the stripper) and Elin Woods (after Tiger banged everyone). I want Sandra to be done with Jesse. I want her to know that it’s done, and I want her to hire a divorce lawyer and I want her to be well. I know, I know – I should respect that she’s not rushing into things, I should respect that she has to come to her own sense of finality, I should respect that Sandra is trying to be mature, to deal with her marriage like an adult. But don’t you want her to just send out the signal to all of us – “Yes, I know it’s over, I know there’s no coming back. I was married to a douchebag, and I‘m dealing with it.”
What will America do if she takes the Most Hated Man In America back?
UPDATE: Oh, the voice of America is speaking, and she’s pissed. Betty White tells ET (via People): “We’re all deeply, deeply saddened. At such a high point in her life, it’s tough, but I think the less other people have to say about it and let her work it out … the better. I love her with all my heart… [She’s] one of the greatest human beings on the planet.” Betty is going to shank Jesse. I think that’s what she’s saying.
P’shaw. It’s ON!
I like Sandra Bullock, but we have to at least considor that there “might” be more to the story than we know….I mean, how does someone live with a (TMZ says) white supremicist and not know that something is off?! I just don’t know what their “arrangement” was- or if they had one. What if we find out unflattering things about America’s sweetheart? I just want this story to go away.
Maybe her reps are lying for her to try to keep this matter as private as possible? I’d really like to believe that she has lawyered up.
Oh Sandy—say it ain’t so! 🙁
NO SANDY NO! Don’t do it. Out with the trash. Ditch the piece of shit.
wheres my popcorn
Everytime I read anything about this entire situation… I just have the urge to yell “THAT BA$TARD!!!!” each and everytime- it never gets old though…..
D-I-V-O-R-C-E HIM!!!!! I bet there are other women and an 11 month fling is not just an affair, it is another relationship. Last time I checked marriage was between two people not three (unless that is your thing).
I think she’s probably just trying to deal with the utter betrayal first, and will then figure out her next step.
I don’t see her forgiving him and staying married, but given the relationship she has with his children and the fact that it’s only been about a week, I was surprised to hear she was already getting a lawyer.
I wish her and the kids the best. Jesse can take a long walk off a short pier, for all I care.
@ bite me – LOL
marjalane, I agree. make it go away.
Am I crazy for thinking this is just Sandra’s rep trying to make sure the divorce rumors don’t get out and affect custody arrangements/battles? Like if there’s confirmation of divorce proceedings you could have some people filing to deny Sandra the right to see her stepdaughter.
She may not be consulting with a divorce lawyer….but her management team and personal advisors are talking to lawyers.
It makes good business sense for them to be figuring out how to protect her from further damage from her association with JJ and his posse.
Sandra is a smart, classy woman and is SO EXTREMELY well liked by her peers – across the board. That says alot. I think she will make the right decision based on the actual truth of her situation – after all, all we know is what someone tells us! I wish her the best!
Thank you Scout!
Everyone is acting like they know exactly what is going on. And instead of thinking that maybe she isn’t “lawyering up” just yet because there is more to the story than we the public know – it’s construed as Sandra not doing the right thing.
I feel like everything that is said about this situation is being taken as pure fact without any speculation. I mean we just heard earlier this morning that she was meeting with a lawyer, now that’s being denied. One of those statements has to be untrue because both of those can’t coexist as facts. You either meet with a divorce lawyer or you don’t.
And the longer this goes on, the more ridiculous things are being said about Sandra which I find gross and unfair. She’s now being accused of being a racist, not knowing what’s best for herself, and the validity of her marriage is being questioned.
It seems as though people like to start attacking the victim as soon as said victim doesn’t act exactly how the people think he/she should.
And as I’ve said in previous posts – most of the information has been given by someone (McGee) who is obviously unstable. Let’s just reserve some judgment until there are actual proven facts and not a bunch of accusations.
Please? I think Sandra deserves that much.
Divorce is never a solution to any troubled marriage. Marriage is for better, for worst. Pls stop wishing people that, it is evil.
wow! looks like somebody wasn’t breast fed as a baby…
If it is of any value, Sandra Bullock’s official facebook page (that she seems to personally maintain) has her status changed to Single and her status update from Thursday was “do not want to see ANY messages with the words Jesse James in them. Period! I am moving on. His loss, not mine!”
eeek.. well i think in her defense, it does suck to have such an personal and difficult crisis broadcast for the world.
@ Mandhy, part of the hollywood game is saying something ( not everything, but a little something) about your personal life, it endears the star to the fans and makes them seem personal. there is no way she could have not EVER mentioned Jesse, however perhaps she said WAY too much. I don’t really follow sandra nor do i think she is that great of an actress, but i can feel a bit of sympathy for her situation. you at least have to give her that.
@brooke
do you really think that is actually her page??
i am always skeptical of facebook , twitters etc
Whether or not she divorces the creep is HER BUSINESS and HER DECISION. Everybody else needs to butt out and mind their own business.
@Brooke
That’s not really her Facebook…unlike Twitter, FB doesn’t have any kind of “Verified” system.
@cheyenne
I completely agree with you. And I’m still convinced that we don’t know the whole story. I believe absolutely NOTHING that comes out of that neo-nazi whore’s mouth. And if her story was so reliable, why only 30K? If she had any facts to back up her story, she would have made waaaaaaaaay more than that.
Mandy, Sandra Bullock has earned the respect of her peers, and she is one of the few actresses that avoids negative press. She has exhibited nothing but class and dignity throughout her entire career, and while you might have found her Oscar speech self-involved, it’s the damn point! It’s her speech, and she was thanking the people who helped her get to that level in her art-as she was being recognized as one of the premier actresses in Hollywood. It’s hardly self-absorbed to thank the people who helped her get that honor. IT’s not as if she stood up and said, “I’m the shit, thanks for recognizing I’m the shit.” She thanked her mother, the writers, the team that worked on the movie, etc etc.
Now, while I might find her Walter’s interview a little bit TMI, it’s still a great example of her humanity-something many actors and actresses seem to lack. I love her as an actress, I think she’s funny and great, and I want her to torch Jesse’s shop to the ground.
@ Mandhy
Channel that energy into doing something productive. You might even change the world…
prettytarheelfan, I thought your post was heartfelt and beautifully written defending Sandra B., until I got to the end and LMFAO!!!!!!!

I beg to disagree with you.
Sometimes divorce IS THE SOLUTION to get the serenity and a minimum civility back, especially when children are involved and keep on witnessing bitter exchanges becoming more violent (vocally or physically) or no exchange at all because both spouses or one doesn’t love the other anymore and feel trapped in this misery..
If it wasn’t the case, Jessy James would have never left his first wife to begin with and we wouldn’t be here discussing the betrayal and the scandal with his…THIRD wife.
In anyway it is up to them to decide wether they will be better off apart or can repair their relationship.
As we all know. Sandra is a very devoted stepmom (mom in reality) to Sunny. I can see her putting Sunny’s needs before her own. I could be wrong, but if I were Sunny, would miss Sandra terribly. Very sad.
Oh Sandy- you HAVE TO DIVORCE HIM! come on if Rhianna can be strong enough you MUST.
This man, no matter how much you think you love him, is the poo worms poo when they eat Dirt, and you have to be strong and move on.
Gawd I hope she has a pre-nup.
Sandy please don’t stand by his side, you had those years and now its time to go forward………………..you didn’t do a thing wrong. Stand up and go forward, don’t stand by any JERK, ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“This man, no matter how much you think you love him, is the poo worms poo when they eat Dirt”
wow…I LOVE that analogy. well said! (and funny, too.)
Well, God, if you need a divorce story, two friends of mine FINALLY dumped their husbands in the last year. There, you’re welcome.
This is never going to be an easy case of Dump him and Move on. She has no legal rights to the children and I can’t see her walking away from Jesse if it means not seeing those kids everyday. Sunny is so young that I think that Sandra will hang around for awhile for her sake. I think it’s going to say a lot for what kind of person Sandra is.
Sandra goes out of her way to adopt disabled (2 and 3 legged) dogs. Sorry that she married one of them too (the 3 legged variety from what I hear:)) But joking aside, someone who is so kind to injured animals is probably not going to be a racist in my opinion. I don’t think ‘racist’ and ‘kind hearted’ really go together, do you? I HIGHLY doubt the racism claim, no matter what her husband says or has done. Perhaps she made a poor decision on a husband, but I don’t fault her for anything else. They had me totally fooled. I thought they were an odd couple making it work. She does kind of like the grungy disheveled type (her ex Matthew McConaughey comes to mind).
I’m not convinced we know the whole … or even half of the story. Michelle “Bombshell” McGee doesn’t exactly strike me as the honest type. I’m not totally excusing James here because at the very least he did initiate contact with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee for the possibility of modelling work for his shop (she totally looks the part for that). But hasn’t it occurred to anyone that Michelle “Bombshell” McGee might be making a lot of this up because she didn’t get the job and figured she might be able to sell this “story” or maybe even get paid to be quiet?
LEAVE HIS ASS!!!!!!!!!
Bite me, I’ve got the popcorn, butter, and cheddar salt. I also think I have a couple of beers and some nuts….
How can she stay married to a man with white supremecist ties and continue to be America’s sweetheart? Her speech at the Oscar’s was about how we are all deserving of love equally. Rationally she cannot stay with this man. But love isn’t rationale. Sigh.
@#15. That’s the most sensible thing I’ve read from a commenter since this whole sad affair began.
Would Sandra even have rights to have visitation or custody of a stepchild after a divorce?
Leave him! He belongs with the gutter pig he slept with
People. This is private. Mind your own business.
It hasn’t even been a week, the poor woman is probably still in the shower crying and cutting herself. Give her some time.
I just wish Sandra the best. It’s a sad and hurtful situation. Nobody wins.
anon is right.
I have a feeling little Sunny will be uppermost in her thoughts.I’m sure she would just cut that cancer out of her life otherwise.I don’t think Sandy will abandon Sunny so easily.
I say, stay with him, insist that legal adoption of the Sunny is part of the deal and when he screws up again (we all know he will) then dump him and take full custody of her.
Check her IMDb profile – it say: SEPARATED.
Alleged wandering eye????? Throw the jackass out…….period. Why/who would want to put themselves through this garbage for him. Please have some self respect. No need to impress anyone with “wanting to save your marriage.” PLEASE…………………

She cannot legally adopt a child who has ALREADY a legal mother.
Unless the legal mother relinquinshes her rights and that it is motivated and validated by a legal decision from the Court then Sandra may adopt or get legal custody of her BUT STILL she NEEDS the mother consent who has to relinquish first her legal mother rights to Sandra which is totally uncalled and immoral even for an ex p0rn star.
Sandra has zero legal rights towards Sunny. She is granted access to the child as the step mother, the spouse of one of the legal parents.
She cannot adopt that child cause a child belongs to her legal living mother and her legal living father and Sunny has both of them still alive. She cannot have a second legal mother.
Even if both of her legal parents become unfit, there are more probability that this child will be given to a grand parent, someone blood related to her than Sandra or even the first wife who is the mother of her half siblings who at times live with her and share one legal parent.
The only known case of celebrities where someone else adopt a child with the consent of her grand parents is Bob Geldof’s 4th child.
Paula Yates his former deceased wife who had a relationship with Michael Hutchence and had a girl from him raised part time the 3 children she had previousely with Geldof and the one child she had with INXS leader. After Hutchence passed away and after years of depression Paula did commit suicide. The three elder children went living with their father Geldof and the younger one was granted to her legal tutors, Michael hutchence parents, her grand parents living in Australia.
Those grand parents and Geldof thought that that little girl who was like 5 years old at the time shouldn’t be separated from her eldest siblings and that being an orphan of both parents at that age wasn’t the best for her and that she had gone to too much tragedy already. They agreed that Geldof officially get custody of her has his 4th child while they act as 3rd grand parents for all those children who they considered their own.
This was one of the most human and mature decision they made together, making everything for the sake of a little girl who had gone through so much loss so young.
I understand the interest in the story. Obviously, I am reading a gossip site. But I don’t understand people making judgments about the hypothetical outcomes of this situation. If she wants to divorce or work it out…let her make those decisions with out this negative discussion. Put yourself in her shoes, it must suck to deal with an already sucky situation with everyone imposing their values on you…
i think he’s wearing lifts in the last picture. tee hee hee
Sorry, but SB is just so plain and sad. Her personality leaves much to be desired. Anyone (and it has been proven) can grab a guy away from her. Just have a little bit of fire in your personality and he’s yours.
That entire comment is bullshit, and was only spoken to be hurtful and nasty.
Perhaps you should look at your own personality.
If Sandra doesn’t divorce him, she will be as bad as Elin in my mind. Fergie is different to me, in that the story that came out was possibly disproven, even though the rumor is that he has cheated before. I wish all of those women would teach those cheating men a lesson by never being with them again; thus, divorcing them asap.
Thanks nnn: for that information
So Sandy just needs to exit and not look back.
Re Tiger Lily Hutchence probably not the best decision in hindsight, given how the other two girls are turning out to be just another pair of trust fund,drug taking,party girls. Growing up with them on a daily basis will likely lead to more of the same, left with the grand parents she may have had more of a chance at a normal life.
Maybe, maybe not and maybe like most young people they will get through the drug and all growing up (hello Nicole Richie who could have stayed with her father or auntie Sheila E and maybe live a drugfree life) but at least they have lived together with that typical love among siblings who are dealing with the loss of their mother.
That decision was made at that time to not separate children who considered themselves as sisters and who were emotionally shattered by the loss of their mum. I remebered even a psy saying that it would harm her even more now that she had no mother nor father left.
Tell a vulnerable 5 years old why she should be living apart from her three sisters, one of which closed in age and being her best play pal just because she happened to not have a father left while all those children were ALL dealing with the same LOSS.
Whatever she decides I am sure she has a reason. She has to have a solid strategy before filing and right now that would only add fuel to the fire. She has to do it on her own timeline not ours.
Sunny is stuck with her bio parents and that is the law. Its sad that her father thought little of her as he decided to lay with filth. Now he will have to explain to her one day why he took away her happy home. She will read about this and be as disgusted as we are.
@rrrca:
You’re right, it sure looks like he’s wearing lifts! Hehe.
How long has it been ? A week, give her a break. You don’t torpedo down to a lawyer’s office. Give her a chance to get her shit together. She needs time to be with her family and friends and re adjust to the situation. And get strong cause she’s going to need it when she belts the crap out of him and then divorces him !!!!
That really sucks for her. Hopefully everyone will give her the space she needs. Oh and Sandra, Dump his ass and get a man(hint they have a pair of dog tags around there necks). I have some, I’ll be good to you!
