Sandra Bullock has finally emerged since it was revealed her husband Jesse James was having an affair, leading her to file for divorce.

Bullock is on the cover of the latest issue of People magazine, in a story that focuses more on her adopted baby than her current marital status.

Cheryl Maisel, who reps Bullock at Rogers & Cowan, has had quite a month. It was rumored that it was Maisel who initially broke the news to Bullock that her husband was cheating on her.

Kathie Berlin, the former president of Rogers & Cowan recently said, in regards to Bullock’s tough position, “she can’t come out with just a brief statement saying she’s terrible hurt and shocked and needs time to figure out what to do next. It’s not possible, they’ll want more. When you can’t win, you win by saying nothing.”

With the People cover story as evidence, certainly Bullock is beyond the “saying nothing” point.

Kathie Berlin understands why we haven’t heard from actress Sandra Bullock since it was revealed her husband Jesse James was having an affair, leading her to file for divorce.

The former president of agency Rogers and Cowan, and Executive VP of production and marketing for MGM turned film consultant told the Huffington Post:

It’s impossible to just say a few words…People don’t allow for that – she can’t come out with just a brief statement saying she’s terrible hurt and shocked and needs time to figure out what to do next. It’s not possible, they’ll want more. When you can’t win, you win by saying nothing.
