They didn’t end on the best terms

In September 2011, former reality star Kat Von D took to Facebook to set the record straight about her planned move to Texas, which was covered on the preceding season of “L.A. Ink.” Von D stated firmly, “I am not in a relationship,” adding, “I am not in any way moving to Texas. I am not opening up another tattoo shop. And I am not leaving my shop here in Los Angeles.” Of the breakup from Jesse James, with whom she briefly reconciled, the tattoo artist told People very simply, “It was clear to me that we were just on two different paths in life.”
However, just a couple months later, she walked back those comments in a follow-up Facebook post. As Us Weekly reported at the time, Von D confirmed, unsurprisingly, that James had repeatedly cheated on her, much as he had cheated on his now-ex-wife Sandra Bullock. “Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year,” Von D revealed. Describing their relationship as “toxic,” the former reality star admitted she wasn’t sure about sharing the truth with fans, but felt it would be better for her mental health to simply let it all out. James was vilified in the media for cheating on Bullock throughout their marriage, but Von D admitted to initially believing he was unfairly treated. The tattoo artist acknowledged that, in the end, she was totally wrong about him.
