'I had to stand up in front of the media and take full account for what I did. And I took it all. I took 100 percent of it right on the chin. Nobody does that. Everybody denies it.'
While the divorce itself was a difficult experience, Jesse noted that the hardest part was losing the son he had adopted with the Oscar winner.
The couple had apparently started adoption proceedings right before the split occurred and had already brought the child home when allegations came to light that Jesse had cheated on Sandra with multiple other women.

When asked about the infidelity and why he went to rehab right after the cheating scandal become public, he was very straightforward.
'I’m the guy that ruined my marriage because I banged some stripper. There’s got to be some flaw in my personality that made me think that was okay.'
While he did accept responsibility for the divorce, the Monster Garage creator showed he was still not satisfied with how the custody of adopted son Louis had played out.
Fame and no fortune: Jesse seemed to suggest that had Sandra Bullock not been of the Hollywood A-list, the adoption of Louis would have proceeded more equitably and continued to include Jesse as the father
'I got divorced and lost a kid I adopted because of it. Whether that’s fair, whether I should have lost a kid due to infidelity, which I don’t think anybody ever does. But I think with ‘Hollywood Law’ that’s totally fair.'
He seemed to suggest that had Sandra Bullock not been of the Hollywood A-list, the adoption of Louis would have proceeded more equitably and continued to include Jesse as the father.
When the couple separated, Sandra decided to continue the adoption by herself, becoming the sole parent of little Louis, who is now five years old.
