Sandra Bullock's ex Jesse James faces fifth divorce as allegations of abuse surface

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actress Sandra Bullock's ex-husband Jesse James, has filed for divorce from his fifth wife, Bonnie Rotten (real name is Alaina Hicks) after accusing each other of domestic abuse.

The West Coast Choppers founder, who has been married five times, married Bonnie Rotten in June 2022. However, Bonnie almost called it quits and the couple came extremely close to divorce twice that year.

James and Bonnie have now accused each other of domestic abuse and have filed restraining orders against one another.

The Oscar-winning actress and the 55-year-old mechanic married in 2005 and divorced in 2010 due to his adultery, per The Mirror.

Jesse James attempts to obtain restraining order against estranged wife Bonnie Rotten

Jesse James and his estranged fifth wife Bonnie Rotten, 30, have been in a highly publicized and turbulent relationship for the past few years, even as they welcomed a son named Bishop in 2023.

According to James, Bonnie attacked him and attempted to break his finger a few months before their June 2022 wedding. Bonnie initially filed for divorce in 2022.

He claimed to have been subjected to several violent attacks during their marriage, including one while Bonnie was expecting their son. James further claimed Bonnie used her thumbnail to pierce his neck.

Bonnie also allegedly kicked James from behind following a furious argument, seriously injuring him. According to a Friday, November 22, TMZ report, James is requesting that the court keep Bonnie "100 feet from him and their child until a custody hearing can be held."

The car mechanic emphasized that he required the protective order due to the years of mistreatment he suffered at the hands of his estranged wife.

Jesse James accuses estranged wife Bonnie Rotten of abuse

Jesse James portrayed Bonnie Rotten's actions in a negative light, alleging that she mistreated not only him but also their dogs and cats. He accused her of hitting the animals regularly, saying that it occurred so often that their son has started to replicate the abusive behavior with the cats.

James contended that Bonnie was attempting to destroy his image by claiming abuse in her temporary restraining order filing. He alleged that she made him the antagonist in order to conceal the fact that he had been abused by her for years.

Bonnie accused James of physical abuse in her TRO. She denied kicking him during the furious argument he brought up in his filing, claiming that he was hurt by accident when she slammed the door that struck him.

Bonnie asserted James punched her in the throat in retaliation, emphasizing that he frequently attacked her like that. He allegedly slapped her across the face once.

She told TMZ that she took their son with her when she left the house with James "to protect them." Additionally, she asserted that James had been trying to "gaslight" her.

"For the safety and well-being of our child, I will not engage in litigating this matter in the press. I trust the legal process to address these issues appropriately and respectfully ask for privacy during this time," Bonnie told the outlet.

Bonnie Rotten accused Jesse James of infidelity in 2022

Bonnie Rotten caused a stir in 2022 when she filed to divorce Jesse James after claiming he had cheated on her. In November of that year, she shared a sonogram image to reveal they were expecting their first child together.

She called her husband "disgusting" and accused him of cheating in December 2022. Bonnie revealed that the two had made up a day later. Soon, the two were at each other's throats.

"Jesse is busy trying to f*** other women while I'm pregnant," Bonnie wrote in a sonogram photo she posted in November 2022 to announce her pregnancy.

However, her ex-lover refuted the accusations in a since-deleted Instagram post featuring images of their happier moments together.

He wrote a long caption about his innocence, per Daily Mail, in part saying, "Baby, I didn't cheat on you, I swear!! I'm sorry we got into a fight. I'm sorry I called you a r—d when we were fighting."

Bonnie disclosed that she had canceled her divorce petition after James's strident denials. "I love Jesse so much and was very hurt by what I saw when I went through his phone," she said.

"That is why I am here working out the marriage that I believe in," Bonnie stated. The messages she saw appeared to be texts sent by James to his former partner. He acknowledged that he texted his ex-lover "out of spite."

James' third wife, Bullock, filed for divorce after it was discovered that he had been having an affair with tattooed model Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee.

In April 2010, he checked himself into a sex addiction treatment center, but the damage had been done and their marriage was formally over by June 2010.

He later dated tattoo artist Kat Von D after Bullock, with whom he was briefly engaged but whose relationship ended when she accused him of having affairs.
