Kat Von D Threatens ‘Ink’ Producers Over Nikki Sixx
Kat Von D just went nuclear on the producers of her reality show “L.A. Ink” – threatening a legal war over several scenes that feature Kat trash-talking her on-again boyfriend Nikki Sixx.
Sources close to the production tell us … Kat went ballistic on producers earlier this week when she viewed screeners of some upcoming episodes of “Ink” … which contained several scenes featuring Kat going off about her then ex-boyfriend Nikki Sixx.
Here’s the problem — the footage was shot a while ago, while Kat was dating Jesse James … and back then, she still harbored some ill-feelings toward Nikki.
But now, Kat and Nikki are back together — and when Kat previewed the footage from the upcoming episodes, which contained the anti-Nikki smack talk, we’re told Kat “freaked out.”
We’re told Kat demanded producers re-edit the show ASAP — removing all negative Nikki references and killing a storyline involving a “Nikki vs. Jesse” theme … or else she would file legal papers in an attempt to stop the show dead in its tracks.
In the end — we’re told producers begrudgingly obliged and Kat’s comments will never see the light of day.
