Sandra Bullock still in hiding after hubby-mistress scandal

Sandra Bullock is still in hiding.

A friend in the actress’ corner told Fox News on Monday that the Academy Award winner is taking time off to figure out what she’s going to do next: give husband Jesse James another chance, or end their marriage following reports of his infidelity with a tattoo model.

“[Sandra is] keeping to herself and there are people in her life to help her through this, including her family, especially her father,” the friend said. “Sandra is a strong woman, but this is such a mess for her. She just won an Academy Award and was celebrating that. Her win should be her focus, but instead, she’s hiding out and angry with Jesse.”

While the news of James’ affair has her reeling, it isn’t keeping her down, said the pal.

“Friends have been calling and checking up on her, but she’s doing better every day. She will bounce back,” the friend said.

Bullock has been in contact with James, who’s staying in their Southern California home with his three children and some of the couple’s dogs while Bullock rides out the storm far away from Los Angeles in Austin, Texas. She loved him so much that “any small betrayal would have hurt her,” according to the friend.

Is there any way she could take James back after the allegations made by Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, who said she slept with James repeatedly while Bullock was filming her Oscar-winning performance in “The Blind Side”?

“I think it’s unlikely that Sandra will take Jesse back,” the the pal said. “This is going to be a lot for her to overcome. She’s a strong, smart woman and she knows what is best for her. She is taking it one day at a time.”
