In June, Jesse James got married to former adult film star, Bonnie Rotten, in a cozy backyard ceremony. Their marriage — a fifth for the “Monster Garage” host — has since been riddled with cheating allegations. Days after blasting her husband online, Rotten officially filed for divorce. According to documents obtained by Radar Online, the divorce petition was filed one day after the couple’s explosive Instagram debacle and James’ subsequent apologies.
However, shortly after submitting the documents, Rotten seemingly had a change of heart. In a statement posted to her Instagram account, Rotten explained that she acted out of frustration. “I mistakenly posted my private business between my husband and I on social media,” Rotten wrote. “Yes I filed for divorce … the next day I filed a non suit to stop the divorce.” She went on to suggest that their quarrel was “blown out of proportion,” and was further exacerbated by the resulting media coverage.

For his part, James has since edited the caption on Instagram that initially read, “I’m sorry we got into a fight … [I] didn’t do anything to make the situation better. It was out of line and childish and immature.” The mechanic has not further commented on the scandal.
