from www.tmz.com – Jesse James’ ex-wife Janine Lindemulder admits there’s a “small bit of truth” to accusations that she had used drugs around their 6-year-old daughter Sunny … but Janine is adamant she never let the kid behind the wheel.

On her way in to an Orange County, Ca courtroom — where she’s set to fight for visitation rights — Janine told us that she’s never done “anything wrong as a mom.” — despite accusations from Jesse’s sister that she once let Sunny drive a moving car while Janine was all doped up.

As we previously reported, Jesse doesn’t think Sunny is safe around Janine — and has cited her drug-riddled past to back up his claim.

Janine is currently in court waiting to argue her case in front of the judge.

Stay tuned.
