Jenna: So Dad dragged us up to frigging Fromberg, Montana, which is an hour outside of Billings. It had a population of about 450 people. I went from a school that had thousands of people to a sophomore class with nine people in it. It was pure hell.
Tony: All the girls hated you. They’d beat you up after school.
Jenna: They would gang up on me, like four of them, and they’d knock me down and kick me. Even the frigging teachers hated me. From the minute I walked into my first class, all the whispers started because, now that I had my boobs, I was the flaunter of every piece of flesh. I would wear tight shirts and tight pants. I had a cute body and I was going to show it off.
Larry: You just blossomed all at one time, and these little farm boys were hanging on the fence. Beginning with that guy Victor, there were about forty people I wanted to stab in the throat.
Jenna: Yeah, the way I dressed worked in Las Vegas; it didn’t work in Montana. But I was popular with the boys, and I wasn’t going to give that up for these jealous girls in school. So it just got more violent because their boyfriends would leave them for me. There was this one corner that I had to pass on my way to school, and the girls would wait for me there and chase me. They were corn-fed, so they were pretty tough. One girl would get me by the back, and one would punch me in the stomach. They didn’t really hurt me, but Jesus Christ I got the wind knocked out of me. Or they would rip out my hair. During school, they would draw on the back of my shirt with markers, put gum in my hair, stuff like that.
Larry: You did have horseback riding.
Jenna: Yeah, I spent most of my time alone. I would go out in my bikini and I would ride my horse. I was super tan. We had 256 acres, and I would just ride. I got to be less of a prima donna because I herded and castrated and vaccinated the cattle and everything. So it was good for me in that way, I guess.
I just didn’t want to tell my dad that I was getting my ass whupped every day because it was embarrassing.
Larry: I had no idea. One day they called me and said, “We are going to put your child in a foster home if you don’t get her to go to school.”
Jenna: Oh, Dad. The worst thing happened in Montana. I never told you but I just can’t talk about it. It was so bad. And that’s why I stopped going to school. So when you told me that, I slipped a gear. I was like, “Okay, these people are threatening my life and trying to send me to a foster home? They want to play a game? Fine! We’ll play a game!” I wasn’t going to take this shit anymore. So I marched into school, and the girl who picked on me the most was leaning into her locker to get a book or something. I walked up full force and, boom, I slammed the locker door so hard and busted her head wide open. She was out cold when I walked away, and there was blood everywhere. I fucked her up. Then I went to my locker and grabbed all my things because I was never going back there. I remember walking out of school for the last time and having this huge rush of power. No one was going to take control of my life again.
Larry: Then she came home and told me what she did and everything she’d been through. I told her to pack her stuff: We were leaving Montana.
