Sandra Bullock is a mom. through the maelstrom of the past weeks, she has stayed quiet while the women who'd participated with Jesse James in cheating on his wife have dominated the media milking their soiled moments of fame.
In an atmosphere of success rising from the skanky conduct of people we would never have applauded in the past, thanks to Mark Burnett and the dregs of human entertainment that is Realty TV, people like these mistresses have the platform to parlay their sinfulness into unprecedented success.
While those women grabbed their megaphones and scorched our eardrums with the constant sound bites about them and how misunderstood they are, Sandra stayed quiet. Every show, every pundit spoke about Sandra and how she should be behaving. Get out there and vilify, they were all saying. Speak loudly and definitively about the pictures of her husband and his Nazi praising stances. Respond to the walking tattoo with a mouth that wants one and all to feel she is so naive that SHE is the victim of this piece, not an aggressive pantheress who liked playing on the edge.
But Sandra stayed quiet.
All around the world voices of the masses took exception deciding they knew what Sandra should do and when.
But Sandra stayed quiet...and now we know why.
Sandra is a mom, and was a Mom before the dark stuff hit the fan right after Sandra won the Oscar. Rather than bleed before the public's scrutiny; rather than climbing onto a bandwagon of public warfare, she withdrew, escaped from Hollywood, and devoted herself to the most important element in her world...the baby she'd just adopted. She closed ranks, not around Jesse, not even around herself, but around the innocent child none of us knew she had.
Can anyone forget the media circus that took place the night the Octomom brought her babies home from the hospital? The cacophony of flashing lights, yelling voices, crushing bodies? One can only imagine the trauma those babies sustained because the Octomom put her own desires to become "FAMOUS" above the needs of the children she claimed were all that mattered.
Unlike the Octomom, Sandra DID put her child's security first.
I cannot begin to imagine how devastating it had to have been for Sandra to learn in such a cruel way and so soon after receiving one of the highest awards her industry can bestow, that her marriage was a sham. I cannot imagine how it had to have cut her especially when you add that precious baby, they'd only just received into their care, learning that her marriage as she knew it to be, was an illusion.
I admire her and give her the highest of marks for disappearing from the media barrage and letting her love in being a new mom soothe the sense of betrayal and allow her to find her center. Now that she's found it, she continues to show what a class act she is. She still does not vilify the man who'd so grossly deceived and betrayed her...no, instead she introduces us to her joy; she comes out and acknowledges the marriage cannot be sustained, but she is a mom with all the joy and wonder that goes along with being a mom.
Jesse James is the loser in all of this. He couldn't keep it in his pants. He couldn't cherish what he'd been lucky enough to have. What a sad commentary for an obviously sad man.
