This includes one boyfriend who cheated on her with 18 people (!!!).
Celebrity-run podcasts are truly everything these days.
Sure, Instagram makes us jealous of celebs’ glamorous lives and Twitter gives us a glimpse into their minds in 140 characters or less.
But it’s truly podcasts where things get really deep.
For instance, a recent episode of Anna Faris’s “Unqualified” podcast got her and guest Kat Von D speaking about a subject that can be very difficult to talk about:
Being cheated on.
It all started with the tattoo artist and makeup mogul talking about dating “nothing but jerks” in the past.
“I don’t even know if I’ve been taken out on a date. Is that sad?” Von D asked the Mom star.
In addition to clearly not being treated right in these relationships (homegirl deserved a date!), Von D dropped a major bombshell:
She once had a boyfriend cheat on her 18 times (!!!).
Umm…
“I dated someone who cheated on me intensely. I don’t even know how it’s physically possible to [expletive] so many people,” she said.
“I think I was in denial a little bit. I wanted this to be real and it wasn’t. I used to be a hopeless romantic.”
While Kat Von D didn’t drop the name of this *ahem* heartless cheater, we can put on our private investigator hats and try to figure it out.
For one, the makeup maven has been famously linked to several Hollywood exes, including Steve-O, Nikki Sixx, Deadmau5, and Jesse James.
Some fans have used process of elimination, plus previous drama, to conclude that the cheating culprit could be Jesse James.
Yes, the Jesse James, who also famously cheated on his ex-wife Sandra Bullock.
After their divorce, Kat V Don was his rebound relationship.
Not to mention, Kat Von D has called him out on cheating on her before — but, with *19* different people.
“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 a lengthy Facebook 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.”
Since Anna has also been cheated on, she was “qualified” to weigh in on the subject.
She recalled the time she confronted an ex who she suspected was cheating on her.
Instead of getting answers, though, she got gaslighted.
“I woke them up in the middle of the night and was like, ‘Are you [expletive] so and so?’ He was like, ‘You’re crazy.’”
Anna explained that she can be pretty oblivious sometimes, especially when it comes to relationships.
“Of course, I don’t want to believe that anything [is wrong], but there was that gut feeling that was starting to grow more and more,” she said.
Like Kat, Anna didn’t share any names. But she did say that her gut feeling on this person cheating was right on the money in the end.
Thankfully, both Kat Von D and Anna have moved on from these difficult times to find people who would treat them right.
Kat V D is now married to her husband, Rafael Reyes, who she has one child with.
As for Anna, she’s currently dating cinematographer Michael Barrett , who she’s been dating since 2017 when they worked on the movie Overboard together.
Meanwhile, her ex,-husband Chris Pratt got married this past summer to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter, Katharine.
While it sucks that these two celebs bonded over something as crappy as cheating, if it means a Kat Von D x Anna Faris friendship, then we’re all for it!
You go, girls!
