Do you find it surprising that Jesse James is still talking about Sandra Bullock a year after their divorce was finalized? It’s as if he’s still hung up on her and thinks about her constantly. He’s still promoting his book, so I guess it’s predictable that he continues to bring it up. In a recent interview with an Australian Radio station, James gave his same old tired excuses in that pissy voice of his. It’s all about him and how he felt as usual. He claims that he “didn’t lie” about his affairs and “owned it like a man,” however he completely misses the fact that he lied to Sandra for years and that he lied to the strippers he slept with about the state of his marriage. He also claims that

On telling Sandra he was cheating
It was pretty painful to like talk to someone and know that you’re like, the next words out of your mouth are gonna devastate their life.

On if people reached out to him
Not many man, it was like cockroaches when you turn the light on. Everybody scattered. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I totally got it, because it was like the media, so I’m like “cool, you know…” All my real friends, which was a pretty small group. They’re all there and never left. They all saw it for what it was.

On if anyone on the street talked smack to him after the scandal
I never got one negative comment. Not from anyone. The only people that said negative stuff to me were paparazzi and they were like being paid to do that.

On how people supported him
The media portrayed it as like this big huge negative thing, but man if anything I got more support from anyone else because yeah, guess what I cheated on my wife, but you know what – so do a lot of other people.

You know, does that mean I’m the dev… does that mean I’m satan, you know? I don’t think so.

He “didn’t lie about it”
I made a mistake, and I’m sorry for it and I owned up to it. I didn’t lie about it, I didn’t try to do any kind of B.S. like you know, PR campaign or whatever. I said “Hey, you know, I did it, I’m sorry I made a mistake,” you know.

He “owned it like a man”
I owned it like a man. I took all the abuse for it, which nobody does.

On if he’s forgiven himself
Yeah, I’m cool.

Claims he didn’t do interviews for a year
You wanna know something funny, that kind of has to do with Australia? I didn’t talk to the media for like a year, like wouldn’t talk to anyone. Never, you know like no interviews, no anything. But I write for an Australian magazine and I still wrote my monthly column… the American media is too stupid that they didn’t even realize it. I talked about all kinds of stuff, .. never picked up on it.

So he “didn’t do any interviews,” and would “never,” right?

And as far as him “owning up” to his affairs, he didn’t even go into a single detail in his book. He didn’t name names, he didn’t admit how many women, and tried to make it sound like he was searching for something Sandra didn’t give him, and as if it were her fault. He wrote “I’m into sex, but contrary to whatever biker stereotype got built up around me, sex is mostly a cerebral experience for me. If there’s no personal connection there, then it’s sort of pointless. But with that said: I still did it. I screwed around behind Sandy’s back, and the whole world came to know about it.” That’s it. That’s Jesse cashing in on breaking Sandra’s heart and that’s how he “owned it like a man.”
