Just after winning the Leading Actress Oscar at the Academy Awards for her starring role in The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock has decided not to attend the London premiere of the movie.

Why?

According to the Warner Brothers who released a statement Wednesday, it was for “unforeseen personal reasons.”

The announcement that Bullock was dropping out the premiere came just hours after reports surfaced that her husband, West Coast Choppers CEO, Jesse James had a month-long affair with tattoo model, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.

People magazine is now reporting that Bullock has indeed left the home that she shares with James in Los Angeles.

So, what’s up with these guys who have gold in the palm of their hand and toss it away?

It’s a shock for nearly everyone who watched the couple make their way down the red carpet at the Oscars. Heck, Bullock even posed in James‘ lap after winning the statue.

If the reports of his infidelity is true, those photos will no doubt carry a whole heap of baggage for years to come.
