Did Jesse James Lie About Being Abused as a Child?
Jesse James wants everyone to understand his reasons for cheating on Sandra Bullock. Basically, says Jesse, he had a rotten childhood, and that made him grow up into a rotten guy. “I was a terrorized kid,” Jesse explained in his big Nightline interview. “I was petrified of my dad … It wasn’t so much getting the shit beat out of me or getting my arm broken or getting kicked or whatever or punched, it was the in-between time. It was the fear of that happening again.” So now you can’t hate him – you have to feel sorry for him. You have to imagine him as a 12-year-old kid cowering in terror at his big nasty daddy coming to whup the bejesus out of him for some sadistic creepy reason. Now do you see why he had to have sex with all those strippers and porn actresses while married to the only decent woman who would give his fucked-up ass the time of day?
Not so fast Jesse James you whining shitball! There’s another side to this whole “childhood abuse turned me into a turd-bucket-from-hell” story – the side told by Jesse’s former stepmom Janina, who was with Jesse’s dad Larry from the time Jesse was seven. According to Janina, none of the bad stuff about arms getting broken ever happened except in that twisted bullshit factory known as Jesse’s mind. “Larry was the most caring father, the kindest father who would do anything for anybody,” Janina said. ” He loved Jesse to death and would brag about him all the time.” Janina says things only went bad between Larry and Jesse after Jesse and his high school buddy rolled a Fotomat and Larry turned them in. Well yeah, I guess I can see how such a thing would sour you on your father, but enough to wrongfully accuse him of abuse years after the fact in a sad attempt at justifying your own lack of character? Just when you thought Jesse James couldn’t sink any lower, he finds a way to outsleaze himself.
