What a shocker.

Kat von D was famously the rebound girl for Jesse James after his messy, infidelity-plagued 2010 divorce from Sandra Bullock. The L.A. Ink star and tattoo artist, 29, and the motorcycle mogul, 43, called it quits for good in September after a nixed engagement and a brief reconciliation.

In a Facebook blog post on Sunday, Von D (real name: Katherine von Drachenberg) admitted that James cheated epically on her as well.

"Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year," she wrote in the post, entitled "Thank You, Jesse James."

"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," Von D added. " 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."

James and Bullock's nearly six year marriage imploded in spring 2010 when his affair with tattooed stripper (and a Von D doppelganger) Michelle McGee was revealed; McGee was just one of many women who came forward about flings with the Monster Garage star.

Von D admits in her post that she thought James was vilified and unfairly depicted in the media.

"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 writes.

"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," she admits.

But the post isn't about revenge against her ex, she insists.

"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."

And she knows what all her fans and detractors are thinking. "I deserve a big fat 'I told you so,' from everyone, and wish I didn't have to say, 'You all were more right than you'll ever know' but you were," she concedes. "Not to worry, I've gladly paid the consequences for every mistake I've ever made, but learned so much from each of them."

    My Mom has a saying, which served as a lesson to us, her children, and while it's more impactful in Spanish, the message is still strong translated in English, here it is: "If you do something you're not supposed to do the first time, it's because you don't know, if you do it a second time, it's because you're stupid, but if you do it a 3rd time, it's because you like it." Hence, the moral of the story, Kat Von D knew Jesse James had been with not one, or two, but boocoos of girls, this guy is waaaaay past the "because he like's it stage". No one can change a person, that person has to want to change on their own, so it was very silly of Kat Von D to think she could or to prove the media, and the people wrong. Touche to Sandra Bullock, who immediately moved away from this serial over-sexed moron. Once a moron, always a moron.

    She started dating him after he was already broken up with Sandra, Dana, so technically she wasn't a homewrecker. It was the other overly tattooed girl that he cheated with. Stupid for her to give him the chance, but like she said, she's learned from her mistakes. I guess he hasn't.

    A home-wrecker got cheated on and SHE'S upset? Pot, meet kettle.

  • November 15, 2011 - 2:53pm Lynnia Clark

    At least she admits she was blind, sucked in and deserves a "I told ya so" so why be so nasty. Geesh. She is not playing the victim here, she is owning her choices. Jesse James is a big creep and I hope from here on out women run for the hills when they see him even glancing in their direction. Unfortunately there is always some women (19 of them obviously) who don't have any self esteem who will bed anything. Gross.

    Actually, it's James that deserves something -- a nice, fat syringe of antibiotic.

    Geez. Take a look in the mirror and maybe you will be able to figure out why. He is a loser and thinks with his johnson, not his pea brain.

  • November 14, 2011 - 10:52pm Anna Summers

    B*t*h got what she deserved... Serves her right for dating a loser who cheated on his faithful Wife Sandra Bullock...She's just doing this all for show now since her stupid reality show is over! She and the scumbag need to disappear forever!

    Jesse James is a rancid spunk bubble.
