A 1997 interview has surfaced in which Sandra Bullock opens up about infidelity.
The interview, conducted by Entertainment Tonight, was taken while she filmed the drama Hope Floats, in which she plays a woman whose husband has been unfaithful.
"There's so many different ways to cheat," she said at the time. "People think infidelity is the way to cheat. I think it's sometimes far worse to emotionally cheat on somebody."
Bullock, now 45, revealed that an ex once cheated on her -- but she laughed it off.
"It was sixth grade ... my boyfriend liked a girl because she had bigger breasts than me and wore tight shirts," she told ET. "I was devastated! I pushed up and it still didn't work, and I realized it had nothing to do with the breasts. It was a little more than that."
She even admitted to cheating herself.
"It was the stupidest thing I ever did," she said. "You take away respect from the other person. If you respect the other person enough and you are an honorable person, before it gets to that point, you say, 'Hey listen, I'm getting ready to screw up and I know you're going to leave' and you give the person the right to walk."
PHOTOS: Sandra and Jesse through the years
The new Us Weekly reports that Bullock's husband of nearly five years, Jesse James, cheated on her with other women besides tattoo artist Michelle McGee, who alleged last week that she had an 11-month fling with the biker while Bullock shot her Oscar winning role in The Blind Side last year.
Bullock "was completely duped" by James, a source told Us Weekly, while another added that James, 40, was always "a whole other person" when they were together.

Tell Us What You Think
30Is she a victim or a child of god. She's a joke. Hopefully Jesse gets a huge settlement from the divorce. How do you put a value on dealing with Hollywood X HO
What happened to all the tapes of Sandra Bullock talking about how she had eight boyfriends and what was wrong with that. Shes a silly one. Can't see the wood in her eye or what. And a big boo to you, haters, Jesse James deserves to be a king! What comes aroun goes around
Olga, no one thinks they know Bullock, but we can't help sympathizing with her. ANYONE can put on a mask, so than we shouldn't have sympathy for anyone who is going through a hard time? Bottom line is - Bullock has been in the industry for a few decades now, and no one has a bad thing to say about her. People really seem to love her. She is better than Meryl if she is living a double life. so...yeah, we may not know her, but out of all the celebrities, she is the most relatable so we sympathize. Best of luck to Bullock
Jesse is worst than Tiger!
Jesse is worse than Tiger!
If you don't want to stay married, please get a divorce. Cheating on a spouse is a cowards way out. Stay strong Sandra!
I havent got over being cheated on from 2003-2004 its really is a deep hurt that you just can not get through sometimes you may not think about it all the time ,but you get reminded ofit when lately its everywhere you look on tv ,online ,magazines ive tired trust me i wish that men & women that cheat knew what this does to that other person that they say that they Love.
I saw this on ET interview of her last night. A cheater is always in the wrong, but...that being said, Atleast she had the balls to admit it. Cowards hide and deny. Still love Sandra!!!
So sad that yet another smart and talented woman has to suffer from the betrayal of a spouse. I hope Sandra gets happiness. If it is true that Jesse cheated even with 1 other woman he deserves to be tormented by is choice. What a dumby.
I feel so sorry for Sandra because her men ALWAYS cheat on her or break her heart. She told In Style in 07 that an ex left her for her best friend! When she first got famous she gave all these interviews about how Tate Donovan dumped her :-( Maybe she should try being alone for a while.
Oh puleeeeeze... sixth graders go on dates? How can there be such a thing as cheating? Dating shouldn't be allowed for 11/12 year olds! They're in elementary school!!!
I don't think we should judge who marries whom. just like we shouldn't pass jugdement on this situation or anyone else. What difference does it make to you whether her marriage is a success or not? I think people should live their own lives and stop worry about other people. And the end of the day, treat people, like you would want to be treated. Once you walk a mile in someone else shoes, the less you may think badly of them. I'm just saying.
It looks like Jesse James is another Tiger Woods but worse. He has been slammed with two sexual harassment lawsuits, the guy sounds like a creep.
What has puzzled me most is why on earth Sandra married Jessie. He is so ugly. His forehead is like an airport runway. His nose is of an old witch. He looks like a 60 years old while she is gorgeous and 5 years older than him. Not to mention he had an ex-wife who was a porn star. He is ugly and he cheats! So what else left to say? Most Aries men are unfaithful and players in their nature. Kevin Federline, ex-husband of Britney Spears, had left pregnant wife to be with Britney. Hug Hefner is a play boy until in 90 years old. Jon Gosellin is an jackass who cheated on Kate and left his wife with 8 kids. Watch out for Aries men. Don't ever trust them in terms of fidelity because they have none. Sandra is better off without Jessie. She deserves so much better. This is a chance to unchain herself from Jessie.
mimi.....really. people are going to turn their entire life upside down for 5 years, just to put on a show? I don't think so. Sandra is VERY progressive-minded -- she already went against convention to be with Jesse. You can clearly see how much she adored him. He's a took and a prick - pure and simple.
The saddest part for all of this for me is, Sandra just LOVED him sooo much! That makes it a milion x's worse, because he KNEW how much she absolutely, unconditionally, head-over-heels and heart loved him! He must really BE a monster - to do that to someone as dear as Sandra Bullock - just an out and out monster! Prayers are with you Sandra - you WILL pull through. You are beautiful and have a good heart....for someone deserving.
"Respect" and "honor" simply doesn't exist for some people.
I looked back on her Oscar speech and see the photos of them taken that night. There is no doubt that she knew then; even a certain sadness to her.
In many reports, Michelle McGee claims that Jesse told her that their marriage was a sham....a publicity stunt. Was this a big publicity stunt for Sandra to get married to have something covered up? Hey... I LOVE Sandra Bullock...she's a phenomenal actress and even a better person...but is she gay?
It is soooooooo easy to say that Sandra is a fool and shouldn't stay/or have stayed with this loser, but as I said "It is easy to say ... " until you are in the same shoes don't even think you are so strong that you will bail. Famous last words!
