After his Nightline appearance in which Jesse James seemed to take responsibility for the split with Sandra Bullock, his ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder claims Jesse thinks Sandra will still take him back.Janine, 41, who was married to Jesse for two years from 2002, says the whole ‘Nightline’ appearance was a ‘publicity stunt.’“As far as Janine is concerned Jesse is just a master con-artist trying to manipulate the situation for his own ends,” a source has told Radar. “She doesn’t think the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father was as bad as he claimed.” And Janine knows abuse – In May of 2003 she was arrested for attacking Jesse with an iron sculpture, trying to run him down with a truck and punching him in the face several times. All in one week.
“Janine feels Jesse was left scarred towards women after his mom abandoned him when he was 7-years old,” the snitch continues. “She says Jesse is a control freak who reacts badly when he can’t get his own way.”
But the ultimate focus of Janine’s apparently expert psycho-analysis is Jesse’s marriage.
“Janine says he believes Sandra will take him back in time, and that they just have to stay apart for a while for the sake of her image,” we are told. “His ego is so big, he can’t accept he brought about his own downfall and nobody else.”
In other news, Janine is now scheduled to do battle with Jesse in court in a bid to regain possession of her five-year old daughter, Sunny. An Oregon Judge gave Jesse sole guardianship in October last year because Janine was in jail for failing to pay over $200,000 in federal taxes.
“Good cause exists for the court to conduct a review to determine if Sunny will be safe with Janine,” Jesse told the court at the time. ”She should be restrained from allowing Sunny around pornographers, drug addicts, guns, felons and other unsafe environments.”
Janine is a former porn actress who now directs adult movies, and her new husband’s a convicted felon.
With her jail sentence, plus six-months in an Oregon half-way house now complete, Janine is due for release later today. And where the case goes from here after this self-serving tirade we can only surmise…
