London, July 16 (ANI): Jesse James is still taking treatment for his personal troubles after accepting in the court that he hit “rock bottom” following his split from the his ex wife Sandra Bullock.

The TV mechanic took the stand in an Orange County, California court as part of his ongoing custody trial with his second wife Janine Lindemulder over their six-year-old daughter Sunny.

James was quizzed about his emotional status in recent months after Bullock dumped him following revelations of his infidelity in March (10).
