HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Michelle "Bombshell" McGee is apologizing to Sandra Bullock after allegedly having an affair with her husband, Jesse James.
"Sandra, I'm sorry for your embarrassment," McGee said in a new interview with Australian TV show Today Tonight. "I'm sorry all this is public. I'm sorry for everything."
"I feel bad for Sandra," she added. "I want to give her a heartfelt apology."
While she's apologetic, McGee said the blame ultimately falls on James.
"I feel like I was duped just as much as Sandra was," she said. "I feel like I was lied to just as much as she was. If Jesse was upfront with me in the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation."
Just as she first told In Touch Weekly last month, McGee said her relationship with James began over e-mail and quickly escalated when they got together for the first time at his West Coast Choppers shop.
"We were intimate that night, probably 2-3 times," she recalled of their first meeting. "He leaned over to kiss me, and I said, 'Woah! Slow down! What's going on between you and Sandra?' He said, 'You know what? I'm not allowed to talk about it. I don't want to discuss it. She lives in Austin, I live here. We don't live together. We're not together.' "
McGee also said it was difficult watching James on television as he supported Bullock during her Oscar run.
"It was very bizarre seeing them on TV and his eyes were teary and he had this emotional state and... it just seemed so fake to me, so not real," she said. "He was just talking to me a couple weeks before, talking about how he missed me, how he's thinking about me and then he's on TV professing his undying love, looking like he's crying and emotional for this woman. I was like, is this real? Is this just act? What is this?"
McGee said she ended the relationship when James contacted her shortly after the Academy Awards on March 7.
"The last [text message] was actually sent on March 14 and that one was, 'I'm just sitting here thinking of you, how are you?' " she recalled. "So like a week after [the Oscars]. So this is not someone, 'I've gotten back with my wife, I'm working things out now.' This is someone, 'I'm with my wife and doing this on the side.' And that's when I was like, 'Enough!' "
