Sandra Bullock Custody Battle Continues
Posted by Richard Head
SANDRA Bullock says she was forced to drastically reduce her workload to help her husband Jesse James look after his daughter, Sunny, while his ex-wife Janine Lindemulder was in prison for tax-evasion.
Bullock was recently dragged into the bitter custody battle between James and Lindemulder, star of films such as Mrs Behavin’; Sleeping Booty and Dyke Diner.
Sandra, 45, has been helping Jesse, 40, raise Sunny since January while mom Janine was in prison.
In a letter to the judge at Lindemulder’s sentencing, Bullock alleges the child was left alone during the day while Lindemulder was “asleep from drug use.”
“I am aware that Janine has claimed many times that my desire to have [the girl], was because I could not have children of my own,” Bullock says, adding, “that couldn’t be farther from the truth.”
“I myself have stopped working like I used to in order to be here with Jesse and the kids because we are on constant high alert,” she writes, “never knowing what condition Janine will be in, and even more concerning, the condition [the girl] will be in.”
But Janine disputes Sandra’s claims.
“It hurts tremendously, the accusations, especially from Sandra,” she says in an interview Thursday with ABC’s Good Morning America.
“Even more so because we’ve never sat down and talked. You know, that’s the one thing that I wish more than anything, for a remedy for what’s happening here, is just communication.
“What would give her the right to take away my daughter?
“You know, this is my daughter. I am the best mother I can be.”
Lindemulder acknowledged making “horrific choices in the past” — but she insists her life is back on track and she deserves to keep custody of her daughter.
