To avoid talking about Kat Von D break-up with Jesse James, she has been cancelling promotional appearances. She's also not heading to the editing studio to remove any of the footage showcasing their relationship on "L.A. Ink."That includes footage like the clip that's been previewed which shows Von D excitedly revealing a tattoo she got of James' 7th grade picture for his birthday. That, and a few straight-forward comments, caused her to walk out of her "Good Day L.A." interview.
But "L.A. Ink" executive producer Gil Lopez tells People that she's not shying away from keeping all that in the show, plus more.
"Kat wants to show that this was a fairy tale and that she was truly in love," exec producer Gil Lopez told People. "Unfortunately, [the split] happened, but there have been no re-edits."
"We had access to this relationship," Lopez adds. "We stayed on [Jesse's] property. We were in Baja with them and we got it all and show that that they were truly in love."
Even more surprisingly, along with the "fairy tale" romance between Von D and famed adulterer James, the TLC show also delves into some of the couple's lows and what made the couple break-up.
"We're going to hear how that romance started," Lopez says. "We're going to hear how he proposed to her and we're going to hear how they got to the point where they are up to now."
