Von D's tumultuous relationship with Jesse James (who was already infamous, per Biography, for cheating on his then-wife, actress Sandra Bullock) and her decision to quit the show may not have been the only reasons that contributed to TLC's decision to cancel "LA Ink." Hollywood Life points to Von D's increasingly negative reputation at the time. In the same year that the show was canceled, she walked out of an interview and cancelled major public appearances with little to no notice.
TLC has been known to cancel shows if anyone associated with them falls under fire. Recent examples include "19 Kids and Counting." The show followed couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their 19 children. ABC News connected its cancellation with allegations of sexual abuse committed by son Josh Duggar. "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was also canceled amid scandals.
In the years since "LA Ink," Von D permanently moved to Indiana, thus closing High Voltage in West Hollywood. She has since started a new, quieter life in Indiana with husband Leafar Seyer and son Leafar Von D Reyes (via People).
