Jeana’s Trip Home

Jeana Keough: You Can’t Go Home Again

Jeana-Tomasino Jeana Tomasina, 1981

The segment featuring Jeana and Colton visiting her family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin was sad. The parents and the sister were disconnected from Jeana in a profound, permanent way. Janis, Jeana’s younger sister, was very restrained for the Bravo cameras. The scene inside the house was awkward and uncomfortable, even for the casual viewer. Jeana had not been back in 5 years, and Colton since he was a toddler. Everyone seems to blame Jeana for it, but maybe it’s not all her fault?

The world was more conservative in 1980 when Jean Myers Tomasino left her husband and family, moved to California and became a Playboy Playmate. The Jeana pictured above, circa 1980, was confident. The beautiful ZZ-Top girl was spicy and sexy.

She may have been disowned by her family at the time. The relationship probably never recovered. The Stevie Wonder comment to her father was insensitive, to be sure, but we can’t rewind back to 1980. Shane Keough is only 50 miles away during baseball season, but it’s doubtful he ever visited his grandparents.

Too bad the relationship went sour. All three of Jeana’s overly-entitled brats would have gained some insight into the real world by spending time with these grandparents while growing up.

This is all speculation. If true, it’s sad.
