Now that the allegations of Jesse James affair with tattoo model Michelle McGee have hit high gear, Jesse issued a public apology to Sandra.

In a statement he released to PEOPLE, he doesn't cop to the story, only suggesting that only he is to blame:

"The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.

There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.

This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”

Hours before the public apology, the busty brunette sent sexts to In Touch that she said were exchanged during the 11-month romance - much of which took place while Bullock was away filming "The Blind Side."

Some of the texts were sent as recently as March 14, McGee said - just days after Bullock won her Best Actress Oscar with her proud husband by her side.

"Just think'n bout u this morning," James wrote to McGee, who says in an online profile she's 24 years old.

"You need it?" he asks in another message.

"Yup," McGee replied, the texts say.

McGee was reportedly paid $30,000 by In Touch magazine to tell her story about the affair, according to Technorati. The Web site quoted a source saying McGee got involved with James knowing he was married to Bullock, but hoped to parlay it into "mainstream celebrity."

What do you think? Should Sandra accept his lame heartfelt well-intended apology?
