Janine Marie Lindemulder (born November 14, 1968), also known as Janine Marie James, is an American nude model, former exotic dancer and retired pornographic actress. She is best known for her work in American pornographic films (typically credited as just Janine) during the mid-1990s and since a 2004 comeback.[2] Lindemulder is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame and the XRCO Hall of Fame, and she has appeared in several music videos for various bands, including Blink-182, as well as appearing on the cover of Blink-182's 1999 album Enema of the State.

Early life

Janine Marie Lindemulder was born on November 14, 1968, in the Los Angeles suburb of La Mirada, California, to Jewel Jonlyn Jeter and William Lindemulder. She has one sister, Kristine, and she has a cousin, Kelly Madison, who is also in the adult film industry. While growing up in La Mirada, Lindemulder grew up in a stable home and excelled in athletics, and won four scholarships towards softball.[3][4]

Early career

After graduating from high school in 1986, Lindemulder worked as a stripper. She answered an ad looking for a figure model, not knowing "figure model" meant nude model. After meeting with the photographer who posted the ad, he asked her to do a spread for Penthouse, a men's magazine. Lindemulder made her first appearance in the December 1987 issue, as the Pet of the Month.[5] She appeared several more times in Penthouse over the next ten years as well as other men's magazines such as Gallery and Hustler, and was chosen as Pet of the Year Runner-Up for 1990.[6]

Lindemulder's first cinematic role came in the 1988 Italian film Bersaglio sull'autostrada, known as Moving Target in English-speaking countries.[7] She was credited as Janine Linde. She went on to act in other lower-tier mainstream films, including Spring Break USA and Caged Fury.[8]

Career

Adult film career

Lindemulder made her adult film debut in the 1992 feature Andrew Blake's Hidden Obsessions.[citation needed] She was featured in two more adult movies before joining Vivid Video as an exclusive "contract girl" (who are collectively referred to as the Vivid Girls).[citation needed] Her first Vivid release was titled Parlor Games. Lindemulder subsequently appeared featured in over fifty other Vivid titles.[citation needed] Together with fellow adult film performer Julia Ann, Lindemulder also formed the exotic dancing duo Blondage who headlined several videos for Vivid.[citation needed] Blondage was featured in an early issue of the Carnal Comics comic book title True Stories of Adult Film Stars, which included a story written by Lindemulder.

Modeling and acting

In 1997, Lindemulder played the wife of a camp director in the Howard Stern film Private Parts. She also appeared on Stern's television and radio shows as a featured guest. Lindemulder was the cover model for Blink-182's 1999 album Enema of the State,[9] and appeared in their video for the song "What's My Age Again?" as a nurse.[10]

Retirement and comeback

In 1999, Lindemulder announced that she was leaving the adult film industry to pursue a career as a kindergarten teacher.[11] She added that another reason she was retiring was to focus more on raising her son.[11] She was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2002, and her retirement lasted until April 2004, when she announced that she would be making a comeback – now, for the first time, performing with men.[2] She signed with her former company, Vivid Video, and starred in eight new films. Her first film scene with a male was with Nick Manning in Maneater.[12] After her comeback deal with Vivid expired, Lindemulder signed with Vivid rival Digital Playground and starred in a handful of features for them, including Pirates in 2005.[13]

In January 2006 she won two AVN Awards.[14] Her April 2007 film Janine Loves Jenna co-stars Jenna Jameson.[15]

Personal life

Lindemulder married Grant Motshagen, a former construction worker in 1988; they had a son, Tyler, in July 1991. Lindemulder and Motshagen divorced in 1996. Tyler had a son in 2017, making Lindemulder a grandmother.[16]

Lindemulder married West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James on October 20, 2002. Lindemulder and James had a publicly tumultuous relationship blighted by numerous incidents of domestic violence and James's multiple infidelities with other women. James left Lindemulder when she was seven months pregnant with their daughter Sunny for Hollywood actress and James's subsequent wife Sandra Bullock in November 2003; Lindemulder and James divorced the following year.[17][18]

Lindemulder then married ex-convict Jeremy "Lefty" Aikman in 2009; they divorced the following year.[citation needed]

Legal issues and custody battle

In August 2008, Lindemulder pleaded guilty to federal misdemeanor charges of willful failure to pay federal income taxes.[19][20] She had failed to pay nearly $300,000 in back taxes.[21] She had made a down payment on a $647,000 house and bought two new vehicles – despite being aware of her tax debt obligations. She faced up to one year in prison, and a $100,000 fine.[22][23]

In December 2008, Lindemulder began serving a six-month federal prison sentence for tax evasion. The judge also ordered that she live in a residential community corrections center for up to six months after her release from prison, that she complete one year of supervised release, and that she repay the federal government $294,000 in back taxes.[21]

During Lindemulder's incarceration, Jesse James was awarded custody of their daughter. Upon Lindemulder's release, James and Lindemulder engaged in a custody battle over their daughter- which went on until 2012.[24][25][26] Lindemulder had weekly visitation rights limited to daytime hours. Her request for expanded visitation rights was denied by an Orange County family court.[27] Following her release from federal prison, she spent time living in a half-way house in Oregon. In 2010 Lindemulder opposed James' planned move to Austin, Texas, introducing evidence that Sunny stayed with Bullock during Lindemulder's rehab stint in Arizona.[28]

After Lindemulder was released, she was at an emotional low point after losing custody of her daughter to her ex-husband. Lindemulder's depression was severe enough that she began abusing drugs, including cocaine, vicodin and various prescription drugs. Once one of the most successful and well-known people in the adult film industry, the legal fees, fines and owed taxes Lindemulder had to pay left her broke and homeless, and combined with the anguish of losing custody of her daughter, she contemplated suicide. Lindemulder did not go through with taking her own life, and she then went to drug rehabilitation in Arizona and has since been clean; and also participated in a program to deal with her anxiety and depression, both programs ended up being paid for by James.[29]

Lindemulder then moved to Austin to be closer to her daughter, and she was arrested twice in 2011 for misdemeanor harassment after calling James dozens of times on both occasions, both times claiming he was preventing her from seeing their daughter.[30]

Later life

Lindemulder appeared in front of a camera for the first time in five years in the 2017 documentary After Porn Ends 2, covering her rise to fame, her Blondage act, her mental unpreparedness for the realities of being famous and the post-effects of her custody battle for her daughter with Jesse James.

Lindemulder has an OnlyFans account, which she started in 2017.[31]
