Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, who claims to have had an 11-month affair with actress Sandra Bullock’s biker husband, was bounced from a modeling gig with the “Angry White Girl” clothing line after photographs surfaced showing her in Nazi regalia.
McGee was photographed about a year ago in a bikini, licking a dagger and holding a gun – all while wearing a Nazi armband and standing in front of an image of a swastika.
“I can’t be associated with any white supremacy nonsense,” said owner Jimmy Ferrari, who hired McGee to model his clothes just a few months before she announced she was having an affair with James.
The clothing “has nothing to do with white supremacy or racism,” Ferrari told CBS News. “It just personifies me. I have a politically incorrect clothing line. It’s totally misconceived.”
He said traffic on his Web site went through the roof when the scandal broke. But he’s sold only 12 shirts since then – and he blames that on McGee’s racy photos.
“They find this Nazi armband thing,” he said.
McGee, a stripper from San Diego, said her affair with James started when he asked her to model for his West Coast Choppers motorcycle company. James, 40, has been married to Bullock, 45, since 2005. She moved out of their California home after news of the affair broke last week.
Ferrari said he discovered McGee on MySpace.com.
“I never met her face to face. I live on the East Coast. I have only been dealing with her for six months,” Ferrari said. “I heard about her, had seen her pictures. I am into tattoos. She was on the cover of a tattoo magazine.”
Ferrari said he sent McGee a message asking her to model for the clothing line. “Just a little compensation and I’m all yours,” McGee reportedly wrote back.
Then the Nazi photos surfaced and the backlash was swift. On Sunday, Ferrari posted a message to his customers on his website.
“Though its name was expressly contrived to be provocative and to combat what its creator feels is an overly sensitive climate of political correctness, it is nothing more than a description of Jimmy himself and not meant to reflect, espouse, or support racist philosophy in any way,” the message said.
McGee has several tattoos, including the letters W and P on the back of her knees that reportedly stand for “white power.” But the mother of two told “InTouch” magazine it stood for a sexual reference.
She also reportedly has children’s magnets on her refrigerator that spell out, “Go White Power.”
“She will never model for me again,” Ferrari vowed.
