SANDRA Bullock’s former husband has opened up about the cheating scandal that ended his marriage.
Jesse James and the actress split in 2010 when several women came forward and alleged they’d had affairs with Bullock’s husband of five years.
Looking back on the drama, James told the Daily Mail he has no regrets about his actions.
“Yeah, I did cheat on my wife, yeah, I stood up and took accountability for it and apologised,” he said.
“In general, both women and men cheat. It’s part of life.”
James went to rehab after splitting from Bullock and is now married to his fourth wife, Alexis DeJoria, who is the daughter of a billionaire.
He might have moved on, but social media users still remind him of his failed marriage to Bullock on a daily basis.
“It’s like people love to see you fall,” he said, “and the farther you get, the higher you get, the more they love it.”
The abuse doesn’t bother him too much now, but he admits the public interest surrounding his split was tough to deal with at the time.
“I look at myself now and I look at how I was feeling then, and I think I was completely overreacting as far as letting it really get to me.
“I think it was having 50 or 60 or paparazzi outside my house for five or six months … That was not a good feeling. I’m a fighter man, I come from the tradition of — if you do something I don’t like, I’m going to punch you.
“There’s no lawsuits, nothing — we’re just going to fight it out. It’s hard for me to bite my cheeks and not say anything and just look down.”
