Kat von D reveals Jesse James’ 19th mistress

In a long message posted on her Facebook page, titled “Thank you, Jesse James,” Kat Von D reveals that their relationship was “toxic” and that she has finally met the 19th woman with whom James cheated on her.

“I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship,” she wrote.

“All of this may sound petty or immature to some, but I assure you this is coming from a place of pure honesty and love.”

Von D reveals that after Jesse’s divorce from Sandra Bullock, she tried to convince the public to give the 42-year-old a second chance.

“There was a time when I was confident and excited at proving the world wrong, because I believed so deeply in people’s ability to change for the better,” she wrote.

“Although this was not a primary purpose in the relationship, I did feel like it would be a positive thing for those who judged Jesse solely based on what they read in tabloids, to see that change is always possible – even in the people who seem hopeless.”

“I think it just made me sad today to imagine him still in that dark place – where seeking validation through the attention of women takes precedence over being a good father, a sincere friend, a better coworker, and a happy individual,” the 29-year-old tattooist wrote.

“I tried my best to go through all of this without venting, or complaining, or fueling more tabloid mumbo jumbo – but this isn’t about any of that… This is about me making peace with myself, and forgiving myself for making some bad mistakes.”

In the end, Kat wants to thank James for the lesson she was forced to learn: “I don’t want to sink into the feelings of regret, or resentment. Because right now, for the first time in my life I have felt regret, (for someone like me, who’s never felt that before, this is hard to say out loud).”

“Time is something you can never get back, and what we do with this very present moment is the most real thing we have. So if that’s the lesson Jesse forced me to face and learn by all of this, than all I can say is Thank You.”

Von D insists that she now wants to turn the page on the relationship, ending her post, “It would be nice to move on now, and kindly thank you all in advance for your support, love, and positivity.”

Kat von D and Jesse James were planning to marry last summer, but they announced their breakup in July. The following month the chain announced that was taken off the air.

In the same week TLC announced the cancellation of Kat’s show LA Ink, the tattooist let the world know that she had returned to Jesse. In September, von D wrote on her Facebook page that she was indeed separated from James, despite an attempt at reconciliation.
