A week after Bullock won an Oscar for best actress in 2010, news broke that her husband of six years, Jesse James, had been unfaithful. The motorcycle star’s celebrity affair with tattooed stripper Michelle McGee came out when she sold her story to a tabloid. Bullock and James divorced shortly after even more women came forward and admitted that they had affairs with him as well. But this cheating celeb didn’t stop there.

4. Hugh Grant and Estella Marie Thompson
English actor Hugh Grant is known for a lot of things in Hollywood and his affair with a prostitute, a huge celebrity scandal, is unfortunately one of them. In 1995, Grant and prostitute Estella Marie Thompson (also known as Divine Brown) were arrested after a policeman caught them in Grant’s car on Sunset Boulevard. Grant was dating actress Elizabeth Hurley at the time. To her credit, this celeb stood by him for another five years, but this Hollywood relationship ended in 2000.
5. Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky
Who could ever forget the infamous blue dress? For those who need a refresher, President Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Although this happened in the late ’90s, we still can’t get over this scandalous political celebrity scandal that resulted in the president’s impeachment.
