We’ve heard conflicting stories as to whether Kat Von D and Jesse James are still on. US Weekly reported in their feel-good piece on Sandra Bullock’s vacation that Kat and Jesse were still dating, and that Kat was “just friends” with the other men she’s been spotted out with, like Bam Margera and her ex, Nikki Sixx. People Magazine also has a new piece about how Kat and Jesse were spotted out in LA over the weekend sharing an enchilada and looking very couple-y. Jesse recently shut down his West Coast Choppers customizing shop in Long Beach, CA, although TMZ reports that his other business there, Cisco Burger, is doing well and will continue to operate. Jesse of course moved to Austin, Texas, to concentrate on his business there and make sure that he haunts Sandra Bullock forever Sandra can see his kids.
TMZ has several stories that claim that tattoo artist Kat is back with Nikki Sixx and has deep sixed her relationship with Jesse. She supposedly demanded that scenes in which she trash talked Sixx be cut from her reality show, LA Ink, and that scenes where she’s shown going out with Jesse similarly be cut. That’s got to be expensive for producers to re-edit and reshoot to try and keep up with her love life.
More drama behind the scenes at “L.A. Ink” — where sources tell us Kat Von D went nuclear over the way her ex-boyfriend Jesse James was portrayed in an upcoming episode.
Multiple sources tell us the recent drama began in the last few days … after Kat viewed screeners of some upcoming episodes which spotlight her relationships with Jesse and her on-again BF Nikki Sixx.
We’re told Kat — who was dating Jesse when the show was being taped — has decided that she no longer wants any traces of him on the TLC show … and demanded that producers pull him from all future episodes.
Now, producers are desperately trying to rip Jesse from the show — but we’re told there’s so much content to remove … they’re worried they may to pack the show with extra commercials to fill out the time before the show airs Wednesday night.
Kat Von D just went nuclear on the producers of her reality show “L.A. Ink” — threatening a legal war over several scenes that feature Kat trash-talking her on-again boyfriend Nikki Sixx.Sources close to the production tell us … Kat went ballistic on producers earlier this week when she viewed screeners for upcoming episodes of “Ink” which air on TLC starting Wednesday night … which contained several scenes featuring Kat going off about her then ex-boyfriend Nikki Sixx.
Here’s the problem — the footage was shot a while ago, while Kat was dating Jesse James … and back then, she still harbored some ill-feelings toward Nikki.
But now, Kat and Nikki are back together — and when Kat previewed the footage from the upcoming episodes, which contained the anti-Nikki smack talk, we’re told Kat “freaked out.”
We’re told Kat demanded producers re-edit the show ASAP — removing all negative Nikki references and killing a storyline involving a “Nikki vs. Jesse” theme … or else she would file legal papers in an attempt to stop the show dead in its tracks.
In the end — we’re told producers begrudgingly obliged and Kat’s comments will never see the light of day.
I’m getting the impression that if she keeps this up she won’t have a reality show for much longer. The market is crowded and there’s plenty of competition. Kat has a new book out, The Tattoo Chronicles, and is about to go on a two month book tour. She’s been tweeting a lot back and forth with Nikki Sixx, which makes it look like she’s at least still “friends” with the guy. It’s likely that Kat and Jesse are off-again and that someone in Sandra’s camp wants to make it seem like they’re still together. Or maybe Kat is willing to sleep with Jesse occasionally in exchange for the publicity.

This chick makes Kim Kardashian *almost* look like a natural beauty.
Stupid B!tch
Hey, who knows what kind of games these two people were involved with. As far as I’m concerned, they each deserve eachother. They seem to be one in the same.
she should have edited out those brown velor pants and the belly bulging tank top
It isn’t the producers fault if she was a chatty cathy about her relationships. She can’t sue them over sh*t she said herself. I don’t see how people like her can’t be humble and thankful that in this economy, they have a job, money, and success. She should be counting her blessings instead making threats and demands.
weird. she did all that for attention, got attention and when the show is about to air she wants it edited out. jeez!
after editing out her dating garbage, what’s left?
“It isn’t the producers fault if she was a chatty cathy about her relationships. She can’t sue them over sh*t she said herself.”
exactly what I was thinking. it reminds me something I heard about the first couple of seasons of The Real World (back when it was actually watchable).
some of the “cast” would complain that they were being “portrayed” a certain way, and the producers answer was “we use what you give us”. if you act like a bitch all the time, or like a lush, or a slut, that’s what the producers have to work with, and that’s what they’ll show the viewers.
She is just gross.
She looks like she smells.
sadly enough I see a deeply psychologically troubled person hididng under all that pathetic posterior.
Ok, gonna go all conspiracy theory…what if Jesse and Sandra are still together? I mean, really, he’s moving to Austin. Why would her people want everyone to think he and von D are still dating, if that’s the case? And von D is getting tons of publicity for her new season. And Jesse is shutting down his motorcycle shop to move closer to Sandra? Really?…things that make you go hmm…
I’m all for strong minded women making it on their own, but to pull rank and re-edit shit that happened screams emotional insecurity and denial – I think it makes her look bad, not to mention it’s bad business. She’s either ashamed of something, or pissed at Jesse by yankin him off ‘her’ show. If she had a brain, she should leave him in the show as to draw people in like a side freak attraction, but then again, maybe he’s the one that is making her do it. It actually makes more sense that he would be all ‘take me off your show’ because he’s a selfish dick, but her doing it because she’s a diva wouldn’t surprise me either. Whichever it is, I think it’s safe to assume she’s no longer boning the dumbass gorilla – shutters, gags
I can’t stand her. She’s very annoying, smug and FUG.
Whenever I look at her, I can’t help but think how awful she’s going to look when she starts getting older. Say in about 5 minutes.
Ugh, just go away.
pig.
I have to admit that I’d love to see JJ get played.
they are so gross
She is TRASH! Who in the world watches her terrible show?
Hey, I thought it was a show about a tattoo shop, not about Kat’s love life? *meh*
They could pad out the shows with clients getting tattoos, hasn’t that occured to the producers? 😉
Wow that’s crazy if they have to edit her show according to who she’s dating! SOunds like the producers have alot of work to do!
@Molio I used to watch the show all the time and that’s how it was for season 1 and 2
then they started going away from the tattooing and showcasing more of the drama! So it kind of sucks now. Kat is beautiful and she just needs to leave these losers!
She Tweets she’s with Jesse (deletes, then reposts), trots him all over town in front of the paps, meets his kids, and now *gasp* all traces of him must be erased from her life?
This bitch is something else.
She is so soft and sloppy, her clothing choices must be made by someone who hates her, her tats make her look smelly and ignorant, her voice makes me want to open a vein. Other than that, I have no opinion- except that I didn’t think JJ could find someone as vile as he.
**was that my outside voice?***
@Molio ~ I had wondered the same thing the last time I watched her show. They only show her doing tattoos, and rarely the other artists. My thought is that she’s so self-involved that she wouldn’t let the other artists be showcased anymore.
As for her wanting the stuff edited out, it really makes me wonder how much bad stuff she said about Nikki. She knew that she was being filmed, so why did she say it in front of the cameras anyway if it were bad enough to retract later? She should have the backbone to leave it as-is and then explain to Nikki that she felt that way then.
This von d creature is just so much white trash, with just about the most uninteresting “reality” show on tv. I’ve tried to watch it, but every tim she comes on screen my cats run from the room and my daughter starts crying. And my dog howls. Who really cares?
Who watches her anyway?
