In case you needed any more evidence that Jesse James was a conniving lying cheater, the more recent ex husband of his ex wife, Janine Lindemulder, spoke out to Radar Online to reveal that James persuaded him to write a false letter to the court in their ongoing custody case. Lindemulder and James have been fighting over custody of their seven year-old daughter, Sunny, who up until recently was cared for by James’ movie star wife, Sandra Bullock. James has had full legal and physical custody of Sunny since Lindemulder was jailed early last year for tax evasion. Now Lindemulder is fighting for visitation rights, which were recently revoked after James accused her of being a drug addict who missed scheduled visits. This latest news makes it clear that he’s fighting dirty, with Lindemulder’s ex revealing that he was convinced by James to make false accusations against her. Luckily his tactics were unsuccessful. The judge saw through the negative e-mail when Lindemulder produced a follow-up e-mail from her ex revealing that he’d lied.
Janine Lindemulder’s estranged husband Jeremy Aikman has told RadarOnline.com that the former porn star is ‘a good mom’ and that Jesse James persuaded him to pen his ‘poisoned letter’ to the court.
Lindemulder and James – who are battling over custody of their seven-year-old daughter Sunny – fought in Orange County Family Court on Friday about the letter which was submitted by James who claimed it showed she was an unfit mom.
After Lindemulder recently broke-up with Aikman he telephoned Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband to talk about her parenting skills.
Aikman told RadarOnline.com: “I wished that I had never made that call but Jesse persuaded me to write the letter after he told me stories about when he was with Janine.
“I had a lot of crazy feelings of pain after we split-up and I put my energy into those and sided with him which was a mistake.
“Janine is a good mom to Sunny and she is clean of drugs just now – I want to make that clear.
“I was frustrated with the situation and made a mistake which I wish I could take back now.
“I think that Janine understands why I did what I did and it looks like it did not count with the courts.
“What I said in the letter was not true and I regret it now.”
Among the false allegations were that Janine was hooked on prescription drugs and had even run her truck into a house once because she was so high.
Commissioner Schulte threw out James attempt to block Sunny’s visits with her mom after she presented an e-mail that he subsequently wrote to Janine which said that he “acted very immature and told Jesse James things about you that were not true.”
A source close Lindemulder told RadarOnline.com: “It was very hurtful for Janine because the reason she split-up with Jeremy was because she put her relationship with Sunny first.
“Jesse tried to take advantage of the situation but it back-fired on him because the Commissioner ruled in Janine’s favor.”

Maybe now the court will side in Lindemulder’s favor and let her have access to her daughter again. She’s trying to gain 50/50 custody and has said that the negative press coverage has hurt her feelings.
Meanwhile James’ lawyer has confirmed that his client is moving to Austin, Texas to be closer to his estranged wife, Sandra Bullock. He also made it sound like a reunion between James and Bullock was definitely possible. “He wants [Sandra] to have a relationship with Sunny, and they are trying to work things out.” The lawyer’s statement is consistent with a story in The National Enquirer that claimed that Sandra has put the divorce on hold and is open to reconciliation. She better watch out for that “backup mistress” that James’ ex Janine said he has in Austin. No wonder Jesse is going after Janine with a vengeance – she has the guts to publicly call him on his bullsh*t.

If this is true, Jesse is a really shady character.
He really never looked like a man of high morals, even during his glory days of being Sandra’s husband.
I’m pretty much willing to believe anything about him at this point, so this is totally possible.
I think ALL of the reconciliation talk is coming from Jesse’s camp in an attempt to help with his custody case and his public image.
That poor kid, both parents are so awful.
Of course he did.
Father’s day just passed, and my Dad’s conscience and character reminds me often how there are good men in this world.
This Jesse James guy is a pathetic excuse for a man.
I like Sandra Bullock and all but I find it hard to believe that she had no inkling of who Jesse really was.
Well it’s nice he wants Sandra to have a relationship with Sunny. But failing her actual mother being a threat to her, she needs to have one with her too. I don’t doubt he loves his daughter but he seems to like using her a pawn, or at least an instrument whether it’s to hurt Lindemulder or try and bribe Bullock.
He’s using all the children, especially Sunny, as pawns. Sandra may have put the divorce on hold to ease things for the children, and the longer she is away from Jesse and the more time she has to think about how rotten he is, the easier the divorce will be. He either won’t let her see the children after the divorce, or he will use the children as a way to stay in her life. The children are the losers in this mess no matter what happens.
Yea Denise I was thinking that to. I guess its possible not see someone’s true colors until its to late. Jesse is really a slimeball though, however that ex wife of his doesn’t sound any better. I feel really bad for Sunny. I hope Sandra does stay apart of her life.
How did Sandra Bullock manage to get involved with such a bunch of trashy people? I’m starting to wonder if she has any brains.
I was going to write “how much lower can he sink?” but I don’t think I really want to know, and it’s probably a mute point anyway.
It was extremely naive of her not to see him for what he is – but (for whatever reason) if she was infatuated enough with him, the eyes go blind and you just don’t see a lot of the bad things until they come bite you in the ass. I hope the reconciliation rumours aren’t true but, fitting in with the naivety, I can see her wanting to stay a part of Sunnys life especially with her mum attempting to get back partial custody. As I recall, she had a big part of blocking the mum. (which is a whole separate pot ‘o drama) It’s messy and emotional and probably really hard to think straight through.
If she is clean, she should be granted full visitation or 50% custody. James is a lowlife and whether Sandra is a better mom is irrelevant, she’s not her mom.
I glad the world is finally learning every truth abut the P.O.S. Never liked him. I hope SB didn’t know about his playing dirty but she should believe it now and not go back.
Oh please…his ex is still a crazy bitch. She has problems with DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. Sadly, that takes precedence over a man who cheats on his wife. Everyone thought his ex was no good before when he was with Sandra, and now they want to protect her. I hope she does not get 50/50 custody of her child. She is not a fit mother.
@Whatever. Yes, absolutely.
Regardless of what Sandra did or did not know, all this sleaze and skankery hurts her career and image, imo. I kinda think that she better choose between career or relationship, and if she chooses career, shoot down ANY hint of reconciliation with James. Because he’s just bringing slime into her life, there’s just too much of it not to fall on her in some way. If she’s ready to give up her career, then fine, do whatever.
This is a very unattractive man….
Seriously people? How many women have lied to the judge because they do not want their ex-husband to see their children? There are more women who do that than men and they say much worse.
Janine is still a bad influence on her daughter,period. She should not get 50/50 custody and if she does it should be monitored.
When you break up with guys, they spread disgusting lies as revenge. Hell hath no fury like a rejected man
yeah, count me for another vote of “how could sandra have not had alarm bells go off?” like, there doesn’t seem to be a single facet of this guy’s life that isn’t steeped in shit.
i agree @bizzy ^
plus, why is he always making “felon face”?
I totally think that he is manipulating the whole situation- first he has to block Janine by any means possible, so that he can take Sunny and move to Austin, where he will need Sandra’s constant “help” in raising her, until he has weasled his way back into her life.
I have no doubt that this guy thinks that if he could just get close to Sandra again, he could spin his lies and get her back. I really, really, really think that he believes he will get her back. The real question is, will it all work a second time? Knowing what she knows now, will Sandra believe all his bullsh*t a second time?
@ Taya – You are so right! Our family has been subjected to 3 (!!!) CPS investigations because every time something wonderful happened to my husband and me, his ex-wife called CPS and told them he was molesting my children from my previous marriage. She told lies to his entire extended family about both of us, and the damage she tried to cause in our relationship only ended up making it stronger. Yes, women are able to lie with the best of them and possess the ability to be VERY vindictive.
Some of you seem to not be of the opinion that people CAN change. I do not say Lindenmulder is a saint, but I am willing to give the woman the benefit of the doubt. James is far worse of an influence on his daughter with the things he has done. Let’s not forget, James married Lindenmulder and at one time had issues himself with drugs and alcohol. If he changed, why is it not possible that Lindenmulder, wanting a relationship with her daughter, might not have changed too?
James is a manipulative scum bag, and he is trying to manipulate Bullock into coming back to him.
There have been a few on this site who have said she should forgive, that he has learned from his mistakes. Why is that notion not afforded to Lindenmulder?
Sandra’s hands are starting to look very unclean.
Oh please! You women are so judgemental against men it borders on psychosis. The mother is a habitual drug user and everyone knows it. She convinced her current husband to recant the e-mail he sent Jesse. Notice how the current husband keeps saying that she is “clean at this time” or “right now”? They all know that it won’t last and she hasn’t been to rehab so there is almost no chance of her staying clean. No mother is far better than a drugged out mother who puts her in danger. Sure, Jesse has his problems but he doesn’t bring it home to his daughter and he can change anytime he wants. It appears any woman can claim to be Jesse’s mistress and everyone believes it instantly. He can’t even defend himself against them because of the criticism. Anyways, it’s not our place to judge, it’s between him and Sandra. We don’t know the real story.
this guy is dangerous and manipulative. but i have long argued that Sandra knew who she married. if he is moving to Texas against her wishes, then that is stalking, plain and simple. i don’t see her filing any restraining orders.
Oh my, oh my, this is a man who loves to play the role of victim so he can be easily rescued from suffering by a good woman.
“You don’t understand, look at what my ex did,” “my employees,” “the accusations of harrassment.”
One look at Sandra’s wifely determination while carrying Sunny was enough for me.
