Michelle McGee to Sandra Bullock: "I Want to Give Her a Heartfelt Apology"
April 12 2010, Published 10:45 a.m. ET
The first alleged Jesse James' mistress, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, has spoken out and apologized to Sandra Bullock for having an 11-month affair with her husband.
"Sandra I'm sorry. I'm sorry for your embarrassment. I'm sorry all this is public," McGee told Australian TV show TodayTonight (via Yahoo!) in a new one-on-one interview.
"I'm sorry for everything," she continued.
McGee also admitted that she understands what Sandra must be going thorough.
"I want to give her a heartfelt apology," she added. "I'm sorry for her embarrassment and pain. I do feel really bad about it."
McGee opened up about the first time she met Jesse James on the internet, after friend requesting him on MySpace and inquiring about a job position at West Coast Choppers.
"He actually contacted me," McGee said. "I was really surprised it was him, at first I thought it was going to be a joke."
Then friends scheduled a meeting at West Coast Choppers.
"We hugged, we said hello, it was like we were old friends," McGee explained about her first encounter with Jesse. "There was no weirdness."
Their friendship escalated quickly from there, and one night the "friends" were sitting on a couch, when Jesse leaned over to kiss her, McGee revealed.
She admitted that she knew he was married to Sandra, and stopped him to ask what was going on with his wife.
"He leaned over to kiss me, and I said, 'Slow down! What's going on between you and Sandra?' " McGee explained of the first night they were intimate. "He said, 'I'm not allowed to talk about it. I don't want to discuss it. She lives down in Austin. I live here. We don't live together. We're not together because she's filming a movie,' " McGee said, relaying Jesse's response.
She said from their first night of intimacy, there were text messages every day.

"I believed him.... he said he didn't want to talk about it, I assumed because of legalities." McGee added.
McGee puts the blame on Jesse for lying about his relationship with Sandra when they first hooked up.
"I feel like I was duped just as much as Sandra was. I feel like I was lied to just as much as she was," she said. "If Jesse was upfront with me in the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation."

The 32-year-old adult entertainer also commented on Sandra's acceptance speeches, where she gushed and applauded Jesse.
One of Sandra's acceptance speeches that really opened McGee's eyes was at the Golden Globe Awards, when the award-winning actress addressed Jesse saying, "I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back."

"When she said this man really has my back I was like, 'No. He doesn't have your back, he's doing it behind your back,' " McGee admitted. "It's just kind of gross."
McGee said she realized Sandra and Jesse were really together when she saw them at the Oscars.
"It was very bizarre seeing them on TV and his eyes were teary and he had this emotional state, and I was like it feels so fake to me, so not real," she said. "He was just talking to me a couple of weeks before. Talking about how he missed me, how's he's thinking about me... then he's on TV professing his undying love looking like he's crying and emotional for this woman."
"I was really confused, like 'Is this real or is this an act? What is this?' "
Just days after Jesse teared up at the Oscars, Michelle claims he texted her, "I'm just thinking of you.. how are you?," as she showed her inbox filled with messages from the Monster Garage reality star.
The mother of two also wanted to clear up any misconceptions that have been believed about her.
"The biggest misconception is that I'm a Nazi, I'm a racist, I'm a white supremacist. That is absolutely not true," she said.
