Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee - the RHP interview
She was ‘the other woman’ in the very public bust up of Oscar winning actress Sandra Bullock and West Coast Choppers magnate Jesse James. Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee was thrust onto the world stage after the man she had been seeing was caught out by his unsuspecting wife, an affair that was always going to have the international entertainment media salivating. Now McGee is getting on with things, making the most of her newfound fame and ensuring the masses get to hear her story.
In Australia for Perth Sexpo (Perth Exhibition Centre from May 26 - 29), McGee took some time with RedHotPie to chat about the ride thus far.
(RHP ) What do you like to go by? Michelle, Bombshell?
Michelle. I never liked the Bombshell, someone gave me that name years ago when I started modeling. I've tried to shake it but it always stuck
You’re being billed as the world’s most famous mistress, is that a label you’re comfortable with?
I've never liked being labeled a mistress. From the beginning I never thought of myself as the mistress. It always irritated me to be labeled as the homewrecker, the woman who ruined Sandra Bullocks marriage. I dated a guy who told me he was getting a divorce. I made a mistake that made headlines all over the world. Unfortunantely being so heavily recognizable, it's hard for me to go on living as I did before. I guess I've grown used to the notoriety, but it's something that I'll never be comfortable with.
The fall-out from your involvement in the break-up of Sandra and Jesse seems to have presented you with some new opportunities, has that been the case?
I have been very lucky to have some great opportunities come my way. What people don't understand is that when something like this happens to you, your whole world changes. I could coward out of the spotlight and wish it all away, but instead I faced the music and tried to make the best out of a bad situation.
Where has you new found fame taken you so far?
I've been to so many cool places I never thought I would see! I've been to every continent and still plan to see more. This will be my 5th time to Australia and by far my favourite place to be. I plan on going to South Africa and New Zealand this summer as well.
I read recently you were partying with Charlie Sheen before his overdose, how did that come about and what was he like to hang with?
Charlie's a cool guy. It was such a weird coincidence we hung out. When I walked into his hotel room, nothing could of prepared me for what I saw. I've heard partying stories about him before, but this was so far out. The amount of drugs and alcohol in that room would of killed a football team. After one courtesy drink, my friend and I slipped out. We wanted nothing to do with what was going on in there. I hope Charlie gets the help he needs and wish him the best.
What were you doing before the story of your relationship with Jesse broke and you were thrown into the maelstrom of media attention, we’re you primarily a dancer?
Yes, I was a dancer and fetish model. I also had a good bit of notoriety in the tattoo world. I've been in every tattoo publication and just before the scandal broke, landed the cover of the biggest tattoo magazine. It was the highest selling tattoo magazine to date.
I heard you say in an interview you regret getting all your tattoos, was that a serious statement or were you joking around?
Yes I do regret my tattoos. I started getting tattoos because I didnt want to look like anyone else. Ironically, almost everyone has a tattoo now. I love my tattoos and accept that they are a part of who I am. But if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't of gotten any of them. We change so much as we get older: our views, our thoughts, our opinions, our tastes, out styles. Tattoos are SO permanent. They don't change! It's like wearing the same shirt your whole life.
You’re heading back to Australia for Sexpo Perth, you’ve done Sexpo before, how do you enjoy it?
I LOVE Sexpo! They've become like family to me. Such a great group of people to work with. There is nothing else like Sexpo in the world. I have such a blast every time I come out. I love the fact that there's something for everyone at Sexpo. Whether your straight, gay, single, married, or a little bit of both.....you will find something that intrigues you. Sexpo is such a great place to explore. Come with an open mind and have a BLAST!
How do you rate the Aussie men?
Aussie men are unbelievable! I've kept it no secret that I am obsessed with Aussie guys! I love the accents and their attitudes.
Just as importantly, how do you rate the Aussie women?
Aussie women are equally as amazing! I've met the coolest girls in Australia! I am so lucky to have met such rad girls! It seems everyone in this country is super awesome!
You got together with Aussie motox rider Luke Urek at Sexpo last year, are you guys still together? How did you meet?
Yes I met Luke through a mutual friend at Sexpo last year. We just recently split up. The distance thing we just too much. He's a great guy though and were still friends.
How does your romantic life work with such a crazy lifestyle atm?
my romantic life is nonexistent at the moment. It's such a hard thing to balance because of what I do for a living. It takes a very strong, confident guy to date me. I'd like to find someone to settle down with eventually, but who knows if that will ever happen
What can people expect from you when they get along to Sexpo?
People can expect nothing less than a good time! I will be performing once a day on the main stage. I have a booth where I will be selling autographed posters and photos with fans. I sometimes like to cruise around the convention, so if you see me make sure you stop and say hello!
You’ll be chatting on the RedHotPie.com.au Sex Sessions stand too, what sort of stuff will you be chatting about?
I will be chatting about all sorts of sex stuff! I will be answering all your sex questions and giving advice on how to keep your man happy in bed! This seminar will be HOT!
