I know what you're thinking: Who?

If you don't recall, Jesse James is a glorified reality TV star and owner of West Coast Choppers who somehow won over Sandra Bullock... and then hurt AMERICA'S SWEETHEART.

As you can tell, I am still salty over this.

James' relationship with Bullock ended after five years in 2010, after a number of women claimed they had affairs with the TV host.

He allegedly has no regrets.

James told The Daily Mail,

Yeah, I did cheat on my wife. Yeah, I stood up and took accountability for it and apologized. And that's end of story. Everything else was just…The easy [potshot] is like, 'Oh, well you cheated on Sandra Bullock.' That's the world's easiest comeback.

But, like, bub... it's not a "comeback" if it's true??? It's a fact, and we have the evidence.

He added,

In general, both women and men cheat. It's part of life.

After news came out James had extramarital affairs, fans and tabloids sided with Sandy.

James went on to say,

It's like people love to see you fall. And the farther you get, the higher you get, the more they love it. I look at myself now and I look at how I was feeling then, and I think I was completely overreacting as far as letting it really get to me. I think it was having 50 or 60 or paparazzi outside my house for five or six months. That was not a good feeling.

He added he's a "fighter, man."

I come from the tradition of if you do something I don't like, I'm going to punch you. There's no lawsuits — nothing. We're just going to fight it out. It's hard for me to bite my cheeks and not say anything and just look down.

In 2013, James married Alexis DeJoria, a drag racer and his fourth wife. He says this marriage is different.

He also explained his 11-year marriage to Karla James "doesn't count." His reason being that he was ten years younger than her.

I was 20 when I got with her and she was 30. Isn't that kind of bad? Like, my daughter's 22 right now, and I imagine if some 30-year-old dude came round, I'd be like, 'No, no, no.' That was kind of scandalous. No ill will [towards Karla], but by the time I was 30 and she was 40, we had nothing — nothing — in common.

Sounds like a great guy, right?

James, who appeared on "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2009, was also one of the first celebrities to endorse Donald Trump, so...
