A Controversial Gift
Jesse James is no stranger to controversy, but one of his most infamous moments was when he was seen wearing a Nazi SS officer hat. He explained that it was all a joke, and that the hat was a gift given to him by Barry Weiss, who he called “his Jewish grandfather” and it was part of a “Hollywood costume.” James shared that he begged for Weiss’s support during that time, but Weiss refused, saying “can’t do it. I got a show on A&E this fall—I can’t afford to get mixed up in all this crap. Sorry, Jess. You’re on your own, kiddo.”
