Just days after reports flooded gossip blogs over his infidelity, Jesse James made a public apology to his wife, Sandra Bullock. In the statement that James released on Thursday, he said that he is extremely sorry of the immense pain and suffering that he caused both his wife and their four children. The apology stems from an admission by James’ mistress that the two had an affair while Bullock was off filming her movie, “The Blind Side.”

The mistress, who is identified as Michelle McGee, is a tattoo model and stripper. McGee stated that the two had an 11-month affair. While James did apologize for causing his family pain, he never did fully admit to the affair. As of today, James is still denying the allegations saying that they are unfounded and untrue.

The news of the affair comes just a couple weeks after Bullock received an Oscar from the Academy Awards for her performance in “The Blind Side.” Bullock was scheduled to head to London for the premiere of “The Blind Side,” but she has cancelled the trip citing unforeseen personal reasons.

While the status of their marriage is presently unknown, Bullock has reportedly moved out of the home she shares with James.
