I wondered why Janine Lindemulder focused so much on Sandra Bullock when talking about her custody dispute over five-year-old Sunny. Jesse James is the father and the one with legal custody!

Jesse apparently feels the same way.

"Sandra Bullock is not a party to this litigation," [Jesse's attorney] Slifman says in a statement to PEOPLE. "Mr. James's sole concern is for the safety, welfare and best interests of his daughter. The proper forum to resolve this case is in the courtroom."

I guess I can see where having another woman parent your child would be especially troubling, and I can also see where mentioning Sandra would help Janine get on television in the first place.

Regarding Janine's remarks, Jesse's attorney described them as "inaccurate and unfortunate."

This entire situation is sad. Hopefully they'll be able to find a resolution that works best for Sunny.
