Adult superstar Janine Lindemulder is out of federal custody and is fighting for parental custody of her 5-year-old daughter Sunny. Lindemulder's ex-husband Jesse James and his wife, actress Sandra Bullock, were granted temporary custody of the child earlier this year when Lindemulder entered prison for tax evasion. The couple now hopes to gain full custody of the child. From ABC News:
"What would give her the right to take away my daughter?" Lindemulder said. "You know, this is my daughter. I am the best mother I can be."
Lindemulder, who has appeared in more than 100 adult films, acknowledged making "horrific choices in the past" but says her life is back on track and that she deserves to keep custody of her daughter.
Bullock and James have called Lindemulder and her new husband, also a convicted felon, unfit.
In a letter to the judge at Lindemulder's sentencing, Bullock raised concerns about the girl's safety, alleging that the child was left alone during the day while Lindemulder was "asleep from drug use."
Interestingly, the article also quotes Lindemulder as saying she is no longer allowed to work in the Adult Industry. Is this a condition of her parole, and if so, how can it be legal? Certainly the courts would never bar a famous mainstream actress from working in Hollywood. We're hoping to learn more.
