Michelle McGee — the tattoo model who claims she had an 11-month affair with Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James — isn't bothered by all the blogs bashing her, her pal tells UsMagazine.com.
"She's very comfortable with who she is and what she believes in," says 21-year-old cocktail waitress Mary Guzman, who works with McGee at the Pure Platinum Strip Club in San Diego, Calif. "Michelle is not a whore."
McGee — who claims to be 24 and once posed in a Nazi photo shoot — "does have a lot of morals and class, and I don't know how she would respond to [various claims]," adds Guzman.
Ever since McGee sold all the sordid details of her alleged affair with James, 40, to tabloid In Touch — she reportedly received $30,000 — "her phone has been going off nonstop," Guzman tells Us. "She's been turning it off. She's overwhelmed."

Overall, "she's good," Guzman tells Us. "She's just kind of soaking it in and letting it fall into place. She's a really strong girl and can get through this."
