Jesse James spoke on TV Tuesday night for the first time since his many, many (alleged) infidelities became daily gossip fodder.
Among the more interesting tidbits from Sandra Bullock’s soon-to-be former husband’s interview with Nightline (video clip below):
-That Nazi photo isn’t funny to him … anymore: “I could tell by the look on my face [in the photo] it was a joke that was funny then, probably for a minute. But then looking at it in the context of now and in my life, it’s not funny.”
-He wanted to get caught: “When I was doing it, you know, one, I knew it was horrible, it made me feel horrible. And two, I knew I would get caught eventually, and I think I wanted to get caught. I know for a fact now what it was, you know. I mean, it was me trying to self-sabotage my life.”
-He was abused as a kid: “Football star, bike builder, Monster Garage TV star — all that stuff is a huge smokescreen so people won’t see that I’m a scared, abused kid, a 7-year-old … I remember my dad laughed when I hit the ground and called me a dummy.”
