We're living in crazy times when a woman whose only crime is tax evasion, can actually lose her child simply because her ex-husband, the child's father, is married to a powerful Hollywood actress, and because the mother is Janine, a porn star.

Sandra Bullock lured Jesse James away from his 7-month pregnant wife, Janine, but because Janine is in the adult industry, no one seemed to be disgusted by the "other woman" who swooped in to break apart a family with a child on the way. Nope, that seemed totally cool in the media's eyes.

Now, without any evidence whatsoever, Janine is being accused of doing drugs and exposing her child to porn, etc. Janine has made it clear that she's been drug-free for ten years and counting. Her daughter Sunny, whom Janine raised completely by herself for the first three years, is five years old. In fact, surprisingly little is mentioned about Jesse James' penchant for riding around with Hell's Angels motorcycle gangs as well as his death-defying TV stunts for media attention.

Of course, Sandra Bullock, who is forty-five years old and probably can't conceive kids of her own, doesn't stand anything to gain from getting custody of her husband's and Janine's child, right?

Bullock is worth around $165 million dollars, and Jesse James himself isn't hurting for money, whereas Janine still owes the IRS around $300,000 in back taxes. If Janine is able to regain custody of her daughter, James may be forking out hefty child support payments. Sadly, little Sunny's fate will probably come down to money -- the winner will not necessarily be the best parent, but the one who can afford the best attorneys and can hold out the longest in legal battles. If that's the case, Janine will lose her beloved Sunny to the clutches of Bullock and James. And we all know how well-adjusted Hollywood kids turn out to be.

While there are numerous "news" articles that paint Bullock as the beautiful, caring one, and Janine as a drug-addled freak, these one-sided jewels of crappy journalism, which manage to capture the essence of bullshit, fail to tell Janine's side of the story. At least I label my article for what it is: An opinion piece from someone who is fed up with prejudice against adult performers and the industry in general. But in case you'd like to see the mother in pain herself, check out Janine's recent plea for Sandra to sit down and talk about custody of Sunny on Good Morning America.
