Kat Von D confirms she’s dating Jesse James; People: they stayed in same room

katvond_jessejames1
Amid all the “are they or aren’t they” stories about an alleged romance between L.A. Ink star Kat Von D and serial cheater Jesse James, Kat sent out a tweet admitting that she was dating James. She then quickly deleted it but the damage was already done and the story was picked up by multiple outlets. The story is in People, which has or a cover this week about how Sandra has moved on from Jesse. People even reports that Jesse and Kat stayed in the same room in Las Vegas. I guess we can assume that this is the official version of events and that Sandra’s people want to put it out there.

Kat Von D’s fingers apparently spoke too soon.

After Tweeting Wednesday, “Yes, Jesse and I are dating,” the LA Ink star, 28, took down the message, though it was quickly spread and re-Tweeted by more than 100 people.

Her rep has said she and the motorcycle mogul, 41, are just friends and their cozy night out in Vegas over the weekend wasn’t the start of a new relationship.

But a source tells PEOPLE their friendship could possibly turn into something more.

“Jesse and Kat drove to Las Vegas together in Jesse’s car. It was just the two of them and they slept in the same room,” says the source. “They have been friends for years, but this is the first time they are both single.”

Another source adds that, “Jesse’s friends are happy that he is dating again. It’s a good thing that he has moved on from Sandra, because it seemed a bit delusional of Jesse to think that Sandra would take him back after he caused tons of hurtful drama.”

For her part, James’s ex Sandra Bullock tells PEOPLE in its current issue that the two have “moved on with our lives and only want the best for each other.”

Similarly, James’s rep tells Access Hollywood the motorcycle mogul moving on and “only wishes Sandra the best in everything she does.”

Meanwhile Radar Online has audio of a radio interview that Kat did recently in which she was asked about the rumors that she’s dating Jesse. She responded “I’ve known Jesse since I was 22… We’ve always been friends, even when all that negative stuff went down. I stay out of all that drama stuff. Going out people were always asking ‘what do you think about this and that?’

I think it’s none of my business, and I think it’s none of anybody’s business really.

I am a believer that, like, we are all human and capable of making mistakes. If I were to be crucified for my drug addiction three years ago now, it’d be hard to live with that. I’m sober now and it’s awesome, but I have made mistakes too. I think people have a hard time letting go of that. For me, I have a lot of respect for Jesse and how he handled it.”

When the DJ mentioned that Kat was Jesse’s type, she said “I think I am his type on a different level than people would understand,” and went on to talk about how they both are artists who have experience with the downside of fame. (She explained it as “when things blow up.”)

I’m sure he told her that she was his type “on a different level,” and I’m sure he said that to all the other women he banged on his coffin couch at work when he was bored in the afternoons.

Popeater has some quotes from an alleged insider who claims that “Kat is totally into him. Jesse just has this way with women that makes you melt. Plus, Kat feels bad for him. He’s the most hated man in America, after what he did to Sandra, which she finds kind of sexy.” Poor, sad, misunderstood Jesse. He just needs a good woman to believe his total bullshit. I just hope this means, for sure, that Sandra is no longer buying it on any level.

    She’s 28? Really? Ew. She’s so rough looking and flat out ugly.

    I had to laugh at her quote about stuff being nobody’s business, etc considering she just tweeted the news about their (what I’m assuming is disgusting) love. Oh, bit then she quickly removed it. The fact that you can delete a tweet allows all these narcissists to fake modesty. “I deleted it,” they say. Don’t post in the first place. But then how do they get attention?

  2. Vee says:

    Tattoos are trashy, period.

    She gets the “vanilla gorilla” now, ok, good luck with that.

  3. Westcoaster says:

    Considering what his ex wives and ex girlfriends(Bombshell or whatever her name was) and now Kat Von D are like. How on earth did Jesse and Sandra ever hook up?

  4. LisaMarie says:

    Those leggings are not doing her any favors. Why give yourself a muffin-top on purpose?!

  5. YOYO99 says:

    No way she is only 28. 38 more likely.

  6. Hautie says:

    Ummm… I am wondering if Jesse just needed to get shagged and she was just there.

    I am still puzzled over the move to Austin. Not so much that I think Sandra wants him back. But I was assuming he wanted to get his dumbass out of the public eye.

    And shagging Kat V. is not a good idea if that was his goal. She is already telling the world she saw the Vanilla Gorilla naked.

  7. canadianchick says:

    I read on another site someone alleged her grandparents were Nazis and fled to Argentina. Classy! They deserve each other. She will have to add breast enlargements to her long plastic surgery record to keep him anywhere near her.

  8. Persistent Cat says:

    No, not 38. I’m 38 and I look waaaaaay better than that. She’s gross.

    I always wondered why SB got involved with him in the first place. If you’re ex was in porn, I don’t care how many tests you take, I’m not touching you.

  9. Kbomb says:

    She’s so budget. Bombslut McGee with Raggedy Ann hair. I love that the quote says something about how they’ve never been single at the same time before. Because his past indicates that that would really make a difference. Gross. Team Sandy.

  10. jen says:

    Does anyone else see the resemblance to Rumor Willis?

  11. L says:

    Total downgrade for him. And that’s after bombshell Mcgee so that’s saying something.

  12. Tess says:

    Don’t get why SB keeps making comments about JJ.

  13. Lulu says:

    I admit that I wanted Jesse to pine for Sandra for years! I wanted him to watch her from his pathetic coffin couch as she shows up to lavish awards with Hugh Grant!

    But I have to admit if anyone is right for that douche- it is the Kat girl.

  14. e says:

    This is the best news I have heard all week. I want him to find someone and stop trying to get Sandra back.

  15. Green Is Good says:

    She’s only 28? Pffft, yeah right. Tack on another 2 digits to that mess.

  16. LindyLou says:

    Jen – I was thinking the same thing. She does look like an older skankier version of Rumor Willis.

  17. California Surfer says:

    Jen you totally called it! It was trying to think of who she reminded me of, get Demi’s daughter in some tat’s and she looks just like this kat von d. (and I wonder what the d stands for, maybe dick?)

  18. Missfit says:

    Ofcoarse they would…this isn’t surprising at all. I used to like Kat better back in Miami Ink (or whatever that show was called). She seemed like a better person, more real, was married, she just seemed different. But then she WOULD divorce her ex, as she starts to become more famous, because she let that shit get to her head. She became a whore and now with this guy. Tattoos or not, you can still be a classy person with morals if you have them, not all people with tattoos are trashy, it depends who you are as a person. In her case, she did go there, uggh.

  19. aenflex says:

    Why, why, why? I mean, I think she’s not he brightest, but he can’t be either, but why does she want someone who openly and consistently cheats? Is it only the sex? Why also and how did Sandra get involved with a crumb like this? The whole convoluted story makes my head spin, I can’t figure it out and I’m just running into a wall.

  20. denise says:

    This couple actually makes sense, more than Sandy& Jesse ever did.

  21. Persistent Cat says:

    @ aenflex, don’t be ridiculous, he’s not going to cheat on her. She can give him everything Sandra couldn’t, she’ll change him because she is the right woman for him. All others before couldn’t please him the way she can.

    I’m going to go ahead and assume that’s what she’s thinking.

  22. Shay says:

    Over tattooed and vile.

  23. danielle says:

    I think she’s pretty in an unconventional way. (and I’m very conventional). But this seems like a pretty dumb move on her part.

  24. knotstu says:

    I just want her to be careful, i think she rocks but than again thats just me, she’s an ace tattooist and you would be proud to get one from her and a tattoo, i’m not gonna slate you Miss Von D.
    PARTY ON !!!

  25. ligeia says:

    “Plus, Kat feels bad for him. He’s the most hated man in America, after what he did to Sandra, which she finds kind of sexy.”
    seriously, what a fucking cunt. i hope he gets her pregnant then cheats on her with another piece of dumb white trash who is just like her.

  26. fizXgirl3114 says:

    lol jen, I was just about to say she looks like Rumer Willis… people will date anybody won’t they? Doesn’t matter that you’re a well known sleezebag?

  27. grace says:

    @ vee
    Please, I’m sure you have no relation to arts whatsoever. I have been drawing since I was 5 years old, and I am damn pretty good at it. And as I am very proud of my own creations, I had two small ones tattooed on my body. Tattoos are not always trashy, some are actually very well designed.
    Don’t generalize things, otherwise you sound like a ignorant, intolerant, self righteous bitch. People have taste for different things, and they may express themselves through a variety of ways. Try to respect that.
    And to be completely honest, I think Katy Von D is very very good at what she does. She may have overdone herself, but she is an amazing tatoo artisit, her drawings are indeed admirable. I would like to see how much better whoever calls her work trash could do.

  28. serena says:

    Why does he always go for tattooed girls? It seems like for him it doesn’t matter the personality and such but if you have many big tattoos you’re good and sexy. He moved on????
    He had moved on by months, or years, of cheating on Sandra.

  29. fugly says:

    i can’t believe she effed with her face. doesn’t make sense to me at all. the second picture down, with the star headband, i mean, who is that?!! she’s only recognizable to me becuz of the tats.

  30. rain says:

    @grace – I agree, thank you for your statement!
    @serena – who says tattoos indicate a lack of personality?

    Just because Sandra Bullock is widely loved by the public doesn’t mean Kat Von D should be demonized for dating Sandra’s ex. That’s silly.

    Also, Kat is clearly a giant step up for Jesse (not from Sandra, necessarily, but from those gross women he cheated on her with.) Just because Kat is tattooed doesn’t make her a neo-Nazi or a sleaze!

  31. Taya says:

    28 my ass.

  32. LBees says:

    Ugh. They deserve each other.

    KVD is so unbelievably full of herself. I can’t even watch her show, which was chill–for a minute–until she started EGO-TRIPPING.

    It’s too bad. She is an awesome tattoo artist, but kind of a bitchy chick. I guess that’s the kind of girl (lots of tattoos, counter-culture image) Jesse is going to attract from now on.

    Good luck to them both! Stay out of my hair why don’t you!

  33. poster2 says:

    Easy to see now what kind of person KVD really is. Sorry, but it doesn’t matter how talented you are at anything, if your character sucks everything sucks. She seemed to be a more honest woman before she became famous.

  34. EMV says:

    I thought she was mexican… i dislike her very much now….jesse james is a ass

  35. original kate says:

    bombshell 2.0 needs to stop tattooing dumb things on her stomach -ie, “hollywood” – and start doing crunches.

    oh, and no way is she 28. nuh-uh.

  36. mushroom874 says:

    She isn’t a good role model for young girls. She seemz to have less morality and class. Egocentric and Pseudo.

  37. BrandyMc says:

    @ EMV: I believe I read on her wiki bio that she is part spanish/mexican.

  38. dovesgate says:

    She’s been around longer than Bombshell McGee. Bombshell was more Kat 2.0.

  39. aenflex says:

    I hope no one thought I was trashing her talent. I like her artwork, and she can be foolish and trashy while still being good at something. I mean look at Mel, he’s scum of the earth in person, but is a great actor despite that.
    I just think it’s PATHETIC to hold the notion that she can change him, that she will be the one…He will be the only one that changes him, if he ever wants to. But with all the snatch he’s getting, where’s the incentive?

  40. Kiska says:

    Considering his taste in women, it surprising that he married Sandy Bullock. She is the polar opposite to the skanks he runs with.

  41. Cakes says:

    She thinks that what Jesse did to Sandra was sexy? What a piece of trash. She obviously has no standards.

  42. Ophelia says:

    Thank you Grace and Rain! I have tattoos and I’m happily married and am in no way trashy. Get over the misconception that tattoos are trashy- if you don’t like them, don’t get them. Otherwise stfu because it does make you sound ignorant to generalize like that.

  43. Jag says:

    I had just started watching L.A. Ink again and now this; she just lost one viewer. Thought she was with Nikki, but guess that’s over. If she’s entering into a relationship, or even a friends with benefits, with Jesse, she’s stupid. He doesn’t come across as the type of guy who learns from his mistakes, other than to try to hide it better the next time. Also, she makes it sound like he was cheating many years ago and quit, but wasn’t he cheating right up until the end? Kat shouldn’t be so blind.

  44. moopsie says:

    aww i thought she was cool, why would she throw her reputation out the window for that ugly f*ck face! I’ve lost all respect for her.

  45. onyx says:

    was JJ raised in the Circus? hence his affinity for circusfreaks?

  46. mollination says:

    “Tattoos are trashy. Period.” also translated into “my opinions on subjective issues are fact. Period”.

    Lol. shut up.

  47. Chloe' says:

    @mushroom874
    umm… not everyone is trying to be a role model.

    I think it’s ridiculous to assume that all women and men are supposed to be perfect role models for your little girls and boys. As a parent, you can introduce wonderful people into your childrens lives, but please don’t think that everyone is living their lives to be that person.

    I like that Kat is a normal sized woman and she isn’t afraid to show her body. I don’t like her outfits though haha, there could definitely be more style involved but this is who she is and she’s not afraid to be herself. Personally I don’t think it shows class to bash on her body while hiding behind a computer screen with either a body that probably looks similar or that has been abused to be “hot.” (I’m NOT saying that this is everyone, but something I’ve noticed to be the majority in America’s culture.)

    “He’s the most hated man in America, after what he did to Sandra, which she finds kind of sexy.” Kat didn’t say that! The “insider” could easily be an author’s fabrication, but if it’s how she thinks it could be because of him being an outcast, and she relates to that from her experience during addiction. I think that quote is to vague to assume she thinks cheating is sexy, or something similar.

    BTW, how the HELL did Sandra and Jesse hook up? Hahahah I just don’t get that. She seems like the opposite of all these tatted chicks.

  48. Tia C says:

    A match made in trailer trash heaven!

  49. Boo says:

    She kind of has the Rumer Willis potato-chin/jawline … gross.

  50. Mistral says:

    She ruined her face with all of the surgery. She was so pretty before.

  51. Greentea says:

    I honestly can’t stand kat Von d. Ive never been a fan. she is so self righteous it’s ridiculous.

    I give it a week and he’ll already be cheating on her. Best of luck to Sandra and her new baby.

  52. I think she is a great person I think that people that want to trash her , they just doint have any thing else to do.cat i want her to know that I love her as she is. and what she puts on her body is art.
