There Goes The Neighbourhood
by Ryan Porter
Deep breathes, Sandra. All three of Jesse James's ex-wives could be living in Austin soon.
It's weird enough that
Sandra Bullock can't move to Austin, Texas with her secret baby without her ex-husband
Jesse James. Do his exes have to tag along too? In addition to his first ex-wife,
Karla James, following Jesse and her kids Chandler, 13, and Jesse Jr., 11, Jesse's even peppier second ex, porn star
Janine Lindemulder, is thinking about crashing Sandy's Austin hideaway.
Her lawyer mused about Janine joining this mass exodus on Wednesday. "Janine would consider moving to Texas to be with her daughter, but she is definitely concerned about it, considering the problems she has dealt with in regards to custody here in California," her lawyer told E! News outside an Orange County court, where custody of Janine and Jesse's six-year-old daughter Sunny was being argued.
Janine claims that Jesse has only given her eight out of 15 visits with Sunny since she finished serving a tax-evasion prison term a year ago. Jesse has said that Janine has failed to show up for scheduled meetings, notably on Christmas Day.
Jesse isn't exactly rooting for Janine to join the Austin crew. He testified that Janine is a bad influence on her daughter, saying Sunny "acts out, she's more agitated, [and] she has sleeping problems" after a visit with mom. "The more contact she has with her mom, the more fear she has to sleep in her own room," he added.
Otherwise, the little girl, who Sandra cared for while Jesse was in therapy last April, is doing awesome. "She's thriving, doing well in school, she has an amazing relationship with her brother and sister and Sandy," Jesse said. "We're getting to a point where we can live in peace. [Moving] will only make things better."
Jesse has bought a nine-bedroom home in Austin, 17 miles away from Sandra's place. That's enough room for Jesse, all his kids, all his ex-wives, an
Ann B. Davis-style maid, and still enough room for Jesse's racist stripper friends. But is Austin really big enough for all of them? Sandra seems to be doing just fine without Jesse, not to mention Karla, Janine, and half the models from
Inked magazine.
