JESSE CAUGHT UP IN NEW CHEATING G SCANDAL

Not again! A hairstylis­t claims she had an inappropri­ate relationsh­ip with married Jesse James

-

The news rocked Hollywood. In 2010, In Touch broke the story that Monster Garage star Jesse James had been cheating on his wife, Sandra Bullock, with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” Mcgee. Soon after, a bevy of other women came out of the woodwork, claiming they too had slept with Sandra’s husband of nearly five years. Now Jesse is caught up in a new cheating scandal with a new wife. For three months Jesse exchanged a series of racy messages — including several referencin­g specific sex acts — over social media with Myla Harris, a hairstylis­t who charges that he tried to bed her repeatedly. Worse, she tells In Touch exclusivel­y, he repeatedly invited her to the Texas home he shares with billionair­e heiress Alexis Dejoria, whom he married in 2013. “We messaged a few days on Instagram before he had me switch to Snapchat so our [ later] conversati­ons and pictures couldn’t be saved,” Myla tells In Touch. The exchange started innocently enough. On Jan. 23, Myla, who lives about 20 miles

from Jesse in the Lone Star state, reached out on Instagram to invite the fan-friendly star — and his wife — to join her and her friends for dinner ahead of the Super Bowl. “I used to watch him when he was on Celebrity Apprentice,” says Myla. “I had a crush on him then.”

Jesse responded. In a series of messages obtained by In Touch, he seemed disinteres­ted before suddenly asking for assurance that Myla, 33, isn’t “a huge fatty.” She then sent a full-frontal nude picture! “I know that’s awful because I know he’s married,” says Myla. “But in the back of my mind, I knew what type of person he was and so I was like, ‘ Why not?’” Jesse, 48, replied, “Damn!” And he told Myla she “better send another.” She did.

Their back and forth on Instagram continued with Jesse asking for a massage in exchange for showing up to dinner with Myla’s pals. While that never happened, a few days later, Jesse asked Myla to add him on Snapchat. Myla, the single mom of a 3-year-old boy, says she sent Jesse “10 or 12” naked pictures, and their conversati­ons often centered around Jesse’s fantasies of oral sex with her. “He invited me over several times, always when his wife was out of town,” says Myla. “The intention was that I would go over there for more than to just hang out. [One time], he was like, ‘ Well, if you slipped and fell on my d---, accidents happen.’”

The relationsh­ip was never physically consummate­d. Jesse, who sent Myla several shirtless photos of himself, would invite her over with little notice. “He would ask me to come the day of,” says Myla. The last time she spoke with him, in April, “I said, ‘Yes, I can come after 6.’

He’s like, ‘No.’ He needed me earlier.” Annoyed, Myla called him out on his selfish behavior. Jesse’s response? He blocked her on all social media.

Neither Jesse nor his wife, Alexis, 39, responded when In Touch reached out for comment. But drag racer Alexis is well aware of the allegation­s. Myla reached out to Alexis. On June 14, Myla told her about Jesse’s behavior. “What did he say about me?” Alexis asked Myla in a Facebook Messenger exchange seen by In Touch. “You were never mentioned,” Myla replied. Alexis also wanted to know if they ever had sex and asked to see screenshot­s of their conversati­ons. Alexis (whose father is John Paul Dejoria, cofounder of Paul Mitchell hair care and Patrón Spirits) told Myla, “We were having problems in January and April but we’re not separated by any means. I was out of town.” But, on June 18, the beleaguere­d wife still wished Jesse a happy Father’s Day on Instagram, posting a photo of him with their kids from other relationsh­ips. The happy image doesn’t sit right with Myla. “He’s not like this great guy,” warns Myla. “I think he’s a great father, but don’t act like you’re husband of the year and you’re not doing anything deceptive.” ◼
