Kat Von D must have a death wish! Is she trying to piss off America?
First she Tweets and then deletes that yes, she and Jesse James are dating and now she comes out and says that she respects him. Clearly the girl is entitled to her opinion but given Jesse cheated on America’s Sweetheart Sandra Bullock, she isn’t going to get a lot of fans for this (like she cares)
Kat tells KROQ-FM (via Huffington Post):
“I’ve known Jesse since I was 22 actually. We’ve always been friends you know? And even when all that negative stuff went down and stuff, I stay out of all that drama.
Going out people were always asking what I thought about this and that. And I think it’s none of my business and it’s none of anyone’s business really. I think we’re all human and we’re all capable of making mistakes.
I think if I were to be crucified for my drug addiction three years ago now, it would be harder to live with that. I’m sober now, I’ve made mistakes too. People have a hard time letting go of that you know? For me, I’ve got a lot of respect for Jesse and how he handled it.”
With sharing a body full of tattoos people automatically assume she is his type but maybe not so according to Kat:
I think that I’m his type on a different level than people would assume. Just because I have tattoos doesn’t mean we’re the perfect match.
I think one reason people will automatically find offense with this (besides the obvious) is how she physically resembles Bombshell McGee insofar as all the tats and that’s still a sore spot for people.
What do you think of her statement?
