Since Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James' affairs with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee was opened, more attention has been given to the man's other affairs.

The latest focus is Brigitte Daguerre, a former model, emerging as the third woman alleged to have had an affair with Jesse James.

But Daguerre doesn's like it, as People reported on Wednesday.

"I … made a mistake in thinking that there was a possibility with Jesse, when there wasn't," said Daguerre, 42, now a vintage clothing store owner.

"But I didn't do anything that bad, because as soon as I felt that something wasn't right, I stayed home. That is why I get mad when people call me a home wrecker: I had no idea of what the full story was with him."

Brigitte Daguerre said she "liked the friendship" she had with Jesse James and found him much different from many biker enthusiasts -- no chauvinist, he respected her interest in motorcycles and cars.

To the title of mistress, Daguerre expressed her opinions. "I am a tomboy. I like motorcycles and cars, and we bonded over that," she says. "I get really upset when I read the headline 'mistress.' I was not his mistress. Jesse was never my boyfriend. There was no love. It was mostly friendship, or at least that is how it started: palling around and talking motorcycles."

Their relationship started around the end of 2008, and, "Whatever happened between us, happened, and it should remain private," she said, adding that it ended at the latter part of last year.

"This is just a series of unfortunate events. I don't have any grudge against Jesse. I have never been angry or pissed off or anything. I don't know how I ended up here. I don't regret his friendship."

In the end, she said: "I wish it never happened, to be honest … All this attention is what I really don't like."
