Kat Von D: I Am Not a Racist!

"LA Ink" star Kat Von D took to the Internet and the streets of Hollywood yesterday to tell her fans she did not pen the anti-Semitic message she is accused of writing.


TMZ spotted Kat at Avalon last night, and while signing autographs she told our photog, "It was an obvious case of forgery."

On her MySpace page, Kat wrote a long blog post that said, in part, "The first time I saw the actual photo with the writing on it, I almost puked, considering, those are things I would NEVER even think about, let alone write!"

As TMZ reported, Ami James (Kat's former boss on "Miami Ink") received a photo with a swastika and a flaming Star of David that was allegedly written by Kat. She denies it, and TLC, which airs "LA Ink," is standing by her.

61. René von Drachenberg, her father, is German. Sylvia Galeano, her mother, is Italian. They were from Argentina. She was born in Mexico. She is half German, half Italian ... European. Speaking Spanish doesn't make her Hispanic. George Bush speaks Spanish too.

63. Yes, of COURSE it was a forgery... Who else here guessed that was going to be her response? She couldn't say it was a joke because of the feud between the two ----- she had to deny, deny, deny.

Give it up, you tatted fugly beotch --- everyone knows you're a bigot now. Oh and by the way, good luck trying to keep that D-list status you have achieved for absolutely no other reason than being on some sh1tty reality show about trashy people giving trashy tattoos to trashy people. Nobody in the entertainment business like an anti Semite!

64. I really don't care what she wrote. People are so sensetive it is ridiculous and the hatred this has started...makes me sick. I believe her and have no reason not to.

65. It looks like some other anti-semitic has the same name as me. People who defend the use of swatiskas and anti-jewish bigotted crap are ridiculous. Do you people understand what the swatiska represents? NAZIs -- who killed 6 million jews - to use that EVER is totally beyond the pale.

And to those claiming that Miami Ink is just trying to slander Kat Von D because they are SO jealous are ridiculous.

She is nothing to be jealous or envious over. Kat Von D is screwed now. She is sending minions on here to defend her and then of course, the racists start flapping their gums.

it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people THINK you are an idiot, then open and leave no doubt.

To defend this behavior is VILE, HATEFUL and DISGUSTING!

She's a worthless, trashy, tattooed tramp.

70. Jamie, jealous are you? Jews are notorious for being well endowed. I am jewish, and so is my hubby, and he is awesome, and you are a virgin.

71. Why are people so dumb about wrinkled tattoos? Wrinkles are ugly by themselves,they'll be ugly with or without tattoos-why do you think you'll be so hot just cause you don't have any tattoos? You'll still be your whiny desperate self with wrinkles ,no tattoos acting like a judgemental old hater,complaining on the internet,with no friends around because your life is so boring and people don't want to be around you cause you are so judgmental...

72. #9-"Kat VON D... I wonder if she is any relation to Elsa Von D, another tattoo artist based in Germany in the 1940s"

Tattoo artists will sometimes take the name of a famous old tattooist out of respect.

73. Don't like her even if she didn't write it. She's a mental midget.
Did she graduate from high school?
Those tats are going to look ridiculous when she's older.

74. Good try honey..I was married to a jew and he had the smallest package I have ever seen. It was the main reason I divorced him. I do have to say your nose is probably quite well endowed and you more than likely can do some really dirty things with it.

75. My hubby is jewish and hung like a horse, I am happy lady.
