Lately, life has been treating James a bit harshly while his ex-wife’s career is hitting new heights. American entrepreneur Jesse James is going through a rough phase, running to courts to defend himself from being announced guilty because of his dogs (via In Touch).

The 55-year-old has been sued by one of his former employees and if the court accepts the charges, James will have to cough out almost $250,000. The plaintiff, Karen Sanchez Roberts, has filed a case claiming that James’s dogs attacked her which left her with a fracture and stitches. 

She explained that she was trying to pacify the fight between James’ dogs on April 11, 2023, but the tables turned and she herself became a victim. She added that it was James’ fault as he didn’t give her specific and expert instructions about handling the dogs.

While James is struggling with a lawsuit, Bullock is working on her upcoming movie, Practical Magic 2. In June 2024, Bullock along with Nicole Kidman confirmed that they will present themselves as Sally and Gillian respectively in the sequel of Practical Magic.
