Alexis DeJoria and Jesse James

DeJoria’s husband name: Jesse Gregory James (born April 19, 1969) is an American television personality and former CEO of Austin, Texas-based Austin Speed Shop. Read also about Tracy Pollan.

James was the host of the reality TV shows Jesse James Is a Dead Man on Spike TV and Monster Garage on the Discovery Channel, and the focus of the documentary Motorcycle Mania, also on Discovery.

Jesse James also appeared in the Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 video game and was the focus of a show chronicling some of the customs builds at Austin Speed Shop in his TV series, Jesse James: Outlaw Garage, which ran a shortened single season in 2012 on the Discovery Channel before being canceled.

Custom motorcycles and cars
After working as a bodyguard for Danzig, Slayer, and occasionally for other bands such as Soundgarden, James opened West Coast Choppers in his mother’s garage in 1992. James has also built and is racing an off-road Trophy Truck and a Figure-8 race car.

Other business ventures
He was the owner of the Cisco Burger restaurant, which opened on April 28, 2006, across the street from West Coast Choppers. The 1950s style hamburger stand—named after his beloved pit bull who is now deceased—featured Angus beef burgers, low-fat burritos, organic vegetables, and biodegradable wrappings.

It has officially closed. James also had partial ownership in Austin Speed Shop in Austin, Texas which he left in 2013 to focus on the re-opening of West Coast Choppers in Austin.

Other business ventures include the Chopperdogs fan club and the Jesse’s Girl clothing line. Since 2006, James has nationally published Garage magazine. Read also about Eric Avery.

In November 2013 Jesse James Firearms Unlimited unveiled its first two firearms, a 1911 pistol and AR-15 rifle. His first suppressor was a basic reworking of an original Maxim design that he claimed could bend the laws of physics by offering a 78 dB rating at the muzzle.

Television
In 2000 the Discovery Channel made the documentary Motorcycle Mania, which chronicled James’s everyday life. Following the success of the documentary, the Discovery Channel approached James with an offer to host a new show called Monster Garage where James and a crew of mechanics modified vehicles under a short deadline.

James later established Payupsucker Productions, under which he produced shows like History of the Chopper, Iraq Confidential with Jesse James, and Green Scream, in which James plans to break the land speed record with an eco-friendly hydrogen car. Through James’s show “History Of The Chopper” there are also glimpses of his involvement with the Hells Angels.

He also had an appearance on Discovery Channel’s Sons of Guns. He appeared in the second season of Celebrity Apprentice. Each celebrity played to raise money for a favorite charity; James selected to play for the Long Beach Education Foundation.

Due to his poor performance in raising funds, James was eliminated by Donald Trump on the second-to-last show (ultimately placing 3rd) which aired May 3, 2009.

Trump repeatedly cited James’s stoic refusal to contact then-wife Bullock to raise funds for the show’s challenges, though other celebrities had no problem tapping high-rolling contacts for cash.

His show, Jesse James Is a Dead Man, premiered on Spike TV on May 31, 2009. The show features James doing death-defying stunts. The first episode set a rating record for Spike, drawing the largest audience ever for an unscripted series on the network, with 2 million viewers.

The show is produced by Spike TV, BASE Productions, and James’s company, PayupSucker Productions.

TLC would eventually go on to become one of the best-selling girl groups of all time with an estimated 65 million albums sold worldwide. Unfortunately, tensions developed between TLC and Pebbles over accusations that she was mismanaging their money and had not been fair with their original record deal. TLC filed for bankruptcy in 1995 as a means to extricate themselves from their deal with Pebbitone. Reid produced the 2021 TV movie “Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina: Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” and she is an ordained minister who founded the Women of God Changing Lives Ministries.Early LifePerri Pebbles Reid was born Perri Arlette McKissack on August 29, 1964, in Oakland, California. Perri is the daughter of mixed African-American parents who divorced when she was a child, and she has three siblings. Reid’s mother worked as a housekeeper and waitress while raising her four children. Perri is a cousin of R&B singer and songwriter Cherrelle, who is known for songs such as “I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On” and “Everything I Miss at Home.” Cherrelle was featured on Perri’s 1991 song “Always.”Early CareerIn 1980, Reid began her music career at the age of 16, singing back-up for the band Con Funk Shun and the band leader/percussionist Bill Summers. She co-wrote the Con Funk Shun song ‘Body Lovers.” Perri entered into a production deal with a local musician, but the deal fell through when Reid became pregnant with her first child.Solo SuccessPerri met her second husband, George L. Smith, while working at a real estate office, and he gave her $80,000 to record a demo tape as well as a video for the song “Mercedes Boy.” This led to a record deal with MCA. Reid released her debut album, “Pebbles,” in 1987. The album was certified Platinum in the U.S., and it reached #14 on the “Billboard” 200 chart, #5 on the “Billboard” Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, #43 on the Canadian “RPM” chart, and #56 on the Dutch Album Top 100 chart and UK Albums Chart. “Pebbles” featured the singles “Love/Hate,” “Girlfriend,” “Mercedes Boy,” “Take Your Time,” and “Do Me Right,” with “Girlfriend” and “Mercedes Boy” reaching #1 on the “Billboard” Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. “Take Your Time” reached #3 on that chart, and “Girlfriend” and “Mercedes Boy” reached #5 and #2 on the “Billboard” Hot 100 chart, respectively.Reid’s second album, 1990’s “Always,” went Platinum in the U.S., and it reached #37 on the “Billboard” 200 chart and #12 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

TLC, which featured Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, signed with LaFace Records, which was owned by Perri’s then-husband L.A. Reid.When TLC filed for bankruptcy in the mid-1990s, they blamed Perri for mismanaging their money. The three band mates claimed that at the height of their success, after selling 11 million copies of their album “CrazySexyCool,” they were each only paid a total of $50,000. The conflict damaged Perri and L.A.’s marriage. Pebbitone later filed a $10 million lawsuit against LaFace Records.In 2013 VH1 aired a biopic about TLC called “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.” Perry was not pleased with her portrayal in the biopic and at what point threatened to file a $40 million lawsuit against Viacom, which owns VH1 and produced the movie. In her suit she claimed the series falsely portrayed her “as a conniving and dishonest business woman who hoodwinked three innocent girls and exploited their talent for her own personal gain.” The two sides settled for an undisclosed amount in late 2020.Later CareerPerri experienced a religious conversion in 1997 and began using the stage name “Sister Perri.” She founded Women of God Changing Lives Ministries, which is described as a “ministry of deliverance, healing, teaching, and training that is led by God with His life changing, wonder-working power through weekly services.” Reid became an ordained minister, and she released the book “Child of the Breakthrough,” which is a “prophetic prayer proclamation.” In 1998, she released the album “Prophetic Flows Vol I & II,” and it reached #12 on the “Billboard” Gospel Album Chart. In 2011, Perri was announced as the host and executive producer of the talent competition “Essence & Pebbles present: R&B star.”Personal LifePerri has been married five times.
