Jesse James’ sister has come forward to defend Jesse from accusations that he lied on Nightline about being abused by his father. E! News reports:

“I saw it,” she says. “I lived there with my dad, and he was very aggressive with Jesse and I. He did abuse Jesse.”
Julie England tells E! News that Janina wasn’t even married to their father at the time and, in her opinion, they’re speaking out now to cash in on the headline-making opportunity.
“I think they are giving their stories to make money,” says Julie. “Janina was married to my dad when we were teenagers. She doesn’t know how angry my dad used to get with us. I don’t know why she would speak out.”
“My [birth] mom had to be my mother and my father,” she says. “She would back us up. She would do anything for her kids.”

Since I don’t know who to believe anymore, let’s just agree the truth lies somewhere in the middle: Namely Jesse James was abused as a child but it didn’t make him go spelunking for tattooed labia. I don’t know who comes out ahead on that one, but I’ll bet you anything it’s PR Baby. I see those shifty eyes!

D’oh:

Janina James Coan, who was involved with Jesse’s dad since Jesse was 6, tells TMZ she was “appalled” by what Jesse said about Larry James during the “Nightline” interview.
Coan says, “Larry was the most caring father, the kindest father who would do anything for anybody. He loved Jesse to death and would brag about him all the time.”
Coan does say, however, that Jesse and his dad don’t get along. The tension started, she claims, when Jesse was 16. She claims Jesse’s dad found out his son and a friend allegedly robbed a Fotomat and called the cops on him. Coan says Jesse ended up in juvenile hall and was very upset that his dad turned him in.

Keep in mind this woman divorced Jesse James father and is still defending him. So maybe Jesse really was abused, or maybe he saw an opportunity to bang a bunch of whores and make his dad look like a dick in the process. All we know for certain is Michelle Bombshell’s vagina loved the end of Valkyrie until all that word stuff about Hitler shooting himself. Then it frowned.
