    LL- yes, she is a serial LIAR who has been conning people with variations on this story in person and online for 30 YEARS. she is an evil *c*…and my blood pressure just went up.

    there were 20 characters in the story she conned me with. The flow charts from both cons look very similar. I can’t say how i found out who the spath was, but once i knew i found the blog and read for hours, totally flipping out. She killed my fake boy too. then she resurrected him…blah blah blah.

    she’s a tool and she’s going to get her ass kicked in court (which according to hens is ‘big’. snort.)

    LL – here’s the first article i read: http://www.laweekly.com/2007-10-11/news/the-life-and-death-of-jesse-james/

    then i had to verify that it was non fiction, as josh olson is a screen writer….can’t tell you how long it took to get a damn editor at the LA Weekly to take my call.

    QUOTE: “We spend much of our lives alone. Some cope with it better than others. The ones who don’t are primed and ready for victimhood. You have to learn to be with yourself, because if you don’t, there’s a whole world of drugs, booze and rotten people who will be your friend until you’ve been sucked dry. Beware of what loneliness makes you do; and beware of this creature, because she is out there, she is real, and Janna St. James is only one of her pustulant manifestations”

    One/Joy, that was a great article and for what it is worth, you are NOT alone in having been emotionally raped by this beast of a woman….I know that doesn’t’ make it hurt any less….but for what it is worth the BEAST is her own worst enemy, and she must be pretty miserable in order to do what she does and to live in such a fantasy world as her ONLY WORLD….

    WOW! Thanks for sharing this article….and you know, I definitely understand why you sounded CRAZEEEEEE when you first came here…you had every right to be, but for quite some time now you have been sounding pretty sane!

    CONGRATULATIONS on your job extension and other things that are finally going right for you! (((((hugs))))))

    Ox,

    Alot of us are CRAZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE when we come here. I would think that you, of anyone, would understand why.

    One J. Congratulations in the validation you are receiving of what this woman does. She is CLEARLY on the high end of Psychopathic traits.

    While I know this must still cause you great pain, I hope you find GREAT Peace in knowing that you were WEREN”T The only one and that you have had the gift of having the world see what she is and what she does.

    Karma, Chica. In a big way. Most of us here wish we could have as much.

    I hope this brings you a level of closure and peace, even through pain.

    LL

    LL- the court case has been going on since before i figured out who she is. I knew very early on that she had done this to many. there has been a lot of press about her for a long time also, so this adds nothing new. The big thing that did happen, happened a few weeks ago – the dismissal of some of the charges against her was overturned.

    when i came here i was very scared and didn’t want to say her name – a real ‘she who will not be named’ feeling. over time i shared with some folks here – put stuff up and then quickly deleted it – out of fear and respect for the blog. i did send donna links early on, but she never did a profile on the spath. but when audrey nails her ass in court, you can be assured i will be blah blah ing it on lf. 🙂
