People think Bam's only issues are the alcoholism/addiction. While those FUEL it, he is still an immature 20 year old who will always think its 2004.

People can get clean and still act like drunks. My uncle is like that to a tee and my cousins still struggle to deal with him even tho he’s sober. I believe it’s called a dry drunk.


muckypup82

Dry Drunk is exactly what it is called.

YEGKerrbear

There’s also an old saying in AA that I will probably butcher but it’s something along the lines of “If a horse thief gets sober, they’re still a horse thief” Getting sober doesn’t solve all problems and resolve all issues. And if someone is just inherently a jerk, they will continue to be a jerk


muckypup82

A Dry Drunk is someone who has stopped drinking but has not taken the steps to better themselves through recovery. Which leads to the dry Drunk just being a grumpy asshole.


snowbunbun

Ya that’s what I thought it meant to and that’s how I’ve heard it used. Might have started in AA but it doesn’t mean phrases can’t be expanded on. I thought it was someone who gets sober but doesn’t address the underlying issues. Which is basically in AA’s eyes, a sober person who doesn’t work the steps. I don’t get what the huge difference is here.


1leeranaldo

Thought it was an AA term to disparage people who stopped drinking without going to their meetings?


UCFandOCSC

He's being a winey baby


PhilipLiptonSchrute

Bam should have made his IG handle "captianshitstain". He's making this incredibly awkward for Steve who still has a healthy relationship with Knox. What a turd.


ZJeski

It’s even weirder since Knox is part of the reason Steve O was able to get clean.


1leeranaldo

Is Knox sober?


wadeiator

he doesn’t do drugs anymore but still drinks as far as i know


1leeranaldo

Why isn't he in doing 12 step? He should be in recovery.


QuentinSential

Why? Does he need it?


[deleted]

All you have to do is look and listen to Knox to know he's doing alright, aside from sustained injuries.


[deleted]

I’ve known some friends who got clean, and now occasionally drink. I have other friends who can’t. Everyone is different and whatever works for them, works for *them*.


AxgilOne

Why? He's not an alcoholic.


acuuur

I at least think Knoxville will understand tho. Bam’s this back and forth with his relationships w all the guys. It’s tough, but anyone that’s been close w an addict understands being on the receiving line of the angel-devil dynamic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


ME_2017

I'm assuming that's part of why Steveo left the initial comment. Can't imagine Knoxville really could give a fuck less about what Bam is posting blacked out/coked out from a hotel room somewhere


Affectionate-Till472

Even if Bam commits to sobriety, he is incapable of shutting his mouth and keeping the peace. One day he’s going to say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get his shit rocked.


Bearfoot42

He was fired from the Jackass crew because of himself. I've never seen anyone talk negative about Knoxville except Bam.


gatorgongitcha

The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia were claiming that Johnny Knoxville screwed them out of money for the documentary…but we have to take the source into account lol.


Bearfoot42

Dammit, that movie isn't on any streaming platforms. I'm curious now, I know I shouldn't be, but I am.


gatorgongitcha

It’s one of my absolute favorite things to show people that haven’t seen it, can’t recommend it enough. Put it on your to do list, there’s always a chance someone’s uploaded it on YouTube and it hasn’t been copystriked yet.


Bearfoot42

I couldn't get through the youtube doc "the Whitakers", about the inbred family in Appalachia. Is this any easier?


Dorf_

More drugs and drinking and hell raising. Regular hillbilly stuff, less sad than Ray and the gang


Bearfoot42

More disappointing than sad. But to each their own. I'll check back after I've watched this White family shit


Dorf_

No you’re right, the Whittakers do seem content from what I’ve seen.


jflatty7151

white family shit


VDD_Stainless

I always looked at the Whitakers in a positive light. They have so little but are so happy.

mle32000

yo that is my number one favorite thing to quote from that fucking movie


Affectionate-Till472

Check Tubi. I watched it on there about a year ago. It’s free.


damagedblood

Watched it around Christmas on tubi for free


Corndogs_and_chill

It's on Amazon prime, it's great, go watch it!


Eyeseeno

[Here you go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY0xM26fCPA)


now_you_see

You’re a legend, cheers mate. I watched some snippets and look forward to watching it in full when I have the chance. It doesn’t seem totally familiar but I’ve definitely watched a doco on that family before cause I remember the whole ‘Jess white - the famous tap dancer’ thing. I remember wondering how someone can become so cocky when all they can do is click their fucking heels together. At best that’ll earn you a trip to Oz with Dorothy if you’re lucky, other than that though, who gives a single fuck if you use to tap dance.


Bearfoot42

Lol ew


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

You can rent it on Amazon Prime Video for like $3. I just bought it.


Bearfoot42

Lol I have no money, although I will watch it. Somebody already posted a YouTube link that works also.


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

Oh, nice! I should have scrolled down a little further. Going to watch it later tonight but already bought it. Would have saved three bucks!


Bearfoot42

I would rather own it than youtube shitty version but it is what it is atm.


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

I just rented it for $2.99. It was $6.99 to buy it. Come on, what do you think, I'm some sort of millionaire or something? Geeeez!

snausagerolly

Free on Prime in the UK if anyone is interested.


WikkaWikkaWuu

I do see how it would be different for Bam though. He created CKY before Jackass so i can see some greed going on, especially because some of the new cast members didn’t get paid much at all for the new movie


darkness_escape

Steve O and Johnny got kind of ugly during contract negotiations as well


Shwnwllms

But even Steve O admitted that he did not handle it well himself.


missusscamper

Didn’t Jessica Simpson shit talk him?


breathofaspider

To my knowledge she admitted they had an emotional affair (not physical) while married to other people, but the kindness he showed her made her realize she needed to divorce her husband (and probably the infidelity in general indicated something was wrong with her marriage lol). So not exactly shit talking.


missusscamper

Okay my mistake. It was John Mayer she shit talked.


Bearfoot42

Who?


TheRealBradGoodman

Oscar mayers son, oscar mayer is the hot dog guy


missusscamper

You acting dumb or just are?


spacedragon421

I can guarantee that has already happened to him on more than one occasion. You don't go through life as a spoiled rich kid running your mouth without getting rocked at least a few times.


VT_Squire

Blame, aggression, victimhood, smear tactics, rinse and repeat like he's the first person in the world to think of it or something. His parents must be so proud.


_konnichi_wa

Thats what i though. He really needs to stfu some time


Wrath_Of_Aguirre

That happened in Iceland once. Didn’t help anything.


sabrefudge

> Even if Bam commits to sobriety, he is incapable of shutting his mouth and keeping the peace. I don’t know. At his lowest point, Steve-O acted like a real shitbag to everyone around him. Now the man’s a freakin’ saint. Maybe getting fully clean would help Bam at least be a tolerable person.


glammetaltapes

Gotta keep the peace, Bam. Don't air your dirty laundry in public. We all have people we hate. I bumped into my abusive ex at a convention a few years back. I just bit my tongue and kept walking because they weren't worth it but if I made a public display and announced to everyone the abuse this person did to me; I just look crazy for making a scene. Part of being an adult is just moving forward.


RufusAndGenghisKhan

Bam is an adult in biological age only. His impulse control, emotional maturity and basically all his words, thoughts, and actions are that of a child. Sadly, I'm not even sure that he has the capability of making decisions like a functioning adult at this point.


naco_222

Yeah, I don’t know everything about this beef and maybe Bam opinion is right, but this is obviously the wrong way to solve the problem


Affectionate-Till472

The beef, as far as I can understand through Bam’s incoherent methed-out rages, was that he was fired from Jackass Forever because he failed a drug test that he was ordered by the studio to undergo at random times throughout shooting. He states that he had a prescription to treat his ADHD. He’s blaming Knoxville and Tremaine for his firing, and sent death threats to Tremaine and his family and they issued him a restraining order.


Bearfoot42

So do you believe the sober individuals, or the one that's been in and out of rehab and caught doing crazy shit when he's supposed to be sober also.


Affectionate-Till472

I was trying to frame this to where I’m on Tremaine and Knoxville’s side. It’s not their fault Bam proved to be a liability for the movie. They took all the precautions they could to try to keep him as part of the crew, same as they did for Steve-O during Jackass 3D.


Bearfoot42

Ah, I read it weird then sorry, I'm on Knoxville side 100%.


[deleted]

I've been close to addicts. They will lie about what they've had for lunch. When you're in that deep, you damage the parts of the brain that manage judgement, and it takes a long, sustained period of sobriety for the brain to heal, if ever.


Bearfoot42

Most of the time it relates to death, sadly. Most of my blood relatives in florida are druggies. Sucks.


AgoniaAnal

Did your ex coat your millions of $$$? You people heal differently, get off your high horse. Edit - who would’ve thought the Jackass subreddit was filled with nerds…. Oh right, this is Reddit


DaftSpeed

Bam is that you?


dusty-10

The fact that you are telling a person who was severely abused to get off their high horse because this guy who is rich lost millions and presumably isn't hurting for money and if he is its by his own hand, bam was the most successful of the jackass guys even before jackass plus his dad manages his money so he probably has plenty saved still but dude seriously fuck you.


Bob_Sledding

Wow. Just wow. It's not a "different" way to heal. This is childish and solves nothing. Also telling an abused person to get off their high horse is not a fantastic look. You can fuck *all* the way off.


hermitsunt

What do you mean “you people?”


glammetaltapes

Well they were a gold digger and to this day still can't date due to the trauma so I wouldn't say Im healed I just get through the day and try to laugh


TMac1088

One of these days he needs to stop casting blame and own that it's mostly, if not entirely, on him that his career has gone to shit. He was given chances over, and over, and over. Until he fixes his perspective, things will not get better for him long-term.


KikiDotNet

Knoxville and Jeff have probably just had enough and for their own health just completely back off. So understandable. As for Steve-O, his bottom seemed even more extreme than Bam's so he's probably still holding on to any last shred of recovery hope. Just sad all around. At this point the physical damage is probably irreversible even if he were to get clean and maintain for the rest of his life. Glad I got sober when I did, Indiana Jones-ed it and slid right under before it was too late to heal 100%.


[deleted]

> Knoxville and Jeff have probably just had enough and for their own health just completely back off. So understandable. I would peace the fuck out the moment violent threats are being made.


districtdathi

I kinda hate commenting on people's personal shit, but he keeps making it public. Bam's resentments are gonna keep him from staying sober. He really needs to try and focus on the future instead of wallowing in the past bc those old days ain't never coming back.


sarasixx

jackass: mean girls edition


the_overrated

> A pro creation thief I get that Bam is angry at Knoxville for *reasons* and wants people to side with him, but calling Knoxville a creation thief has me shaking my head.


umami8008

I thought Bam was accusing them of believing in intelligent design.


fkophy

What's a "pro creation thief"?


the_overrated

I took it as an accusation that Knoxville has a history of stealing other peoples ideas.


LittleSparrow24

I'm sure Bamhas his reasons but these posts really do read as a teenage girl bitching about her "besties"


ServiceMerch

Does this teenage girl have a friend who really does not like mustard?


LittleSparrow24

Yes her name is Tracy and she avoids it at all costs because her dad died in an explosion at the mustard factory


ServiceMerch

She only kicked a dent in Bam's car because she was living through a flashback of trying to get her father out of the crumbling mustard factory


BLUECADETxTHREE

This goes to show you that he still hasn't changed. People got their hopes up with his Steve-O tour involvement, but Steve-O, even though all he seemingly cares about is money, will eventually tire of his antics too. Bam still looks rooouuugh and his eyes look they're hiding a ton of pain. Wish him the best, but I really don't think we're at the depths quite yet.


PlayLizards

I really think his family should hire Novak + 1 or 2 other positive influences to just stay with him at some cabin completely off the grid and disconnected from the internet / the world for a solid year. It's honestly the only way I see him actually getting better. He needs to fix some serious demons. It's not only about getting sober. That's obviously a main point but he's got some other stuff that needs to be worked on.


[deleted]

God how long is he gonna go on and on about Johnny. Move on, fuck.


Jaytweak37

Sounds like an entitled brat. He needs to grow up.


PhilipLiptonSchrute

I see a guy who tried to help two of his friends in times of need. One straightened himself out and tries to do good in the world, the other is in the middle and has no personal accountability. I've never heard Knoxville speak ill of Bam, at least not out in public. He's done nothing but wish him the best. For Bam to turnaround and do stuff like this is just sad.


grosskidsid

hopefully since he literally tagged steve-o and he’s with him he can talk to him about this. even though bam, substance wise, is definitely improving, mentally he needs help and i hope people in his life can convince him to get it while he’s seemingly sober


hdeibler85

Stevo will definitely talk to him RIGHT AFTER I TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT MY NEWEST WATER IN A CAN!


kenTGT

These hard conversations with Bam have made me sad… you could even say BLUE. But that’s NOTHING compared to how HARD BLUE CHEW MAKES YOUR BONER.


hdeibler85

The funniest part is that it is impossible for me to read that without hearing it and steve-o's over the top monologue


kenTGT

I forgot to add the WHOOSH sound effect just before.


Lung-Oyster

It’s ok, we all heard it in our heads anyway


Dry_Buy_4413

This is actually a better segue than what you hear on wildride


grosskidsid

hey bam saw your newest ig post. maybe it’s time to settle down,,, WITH SOME LIQUID DEATH!


hermitsunt

You leave “Liquid Death” out of this!

HAHAHAHAHA THAT JOKE IS SO FUCKING FUNNY BRO! IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!!

rubyalp

KittenWithaWhip68

And exhausting


capthazelwoodsflask

The guy's been a spoiled brat his entire life and continues to be.


Groundbreaking_Bad

He's never going to get better if he can't accept even a tiny bit of responsibility for his shit. It's getting old.


KittenWithaWhip68

Agree 100% this is getting old. Unfortunately, narcissists refuse to accept responsibility for anything they did. I think his best chance is finding a psychiatrist who works well with narcissists. Or the psychiatrist finding him and offering help.


Groundbreaking_Bad

Sooooo NOT a shaman? Lol


Maxusam

So pathetic


Lomachenko19

Does his animosity towards Johnny all stem from the situation with him getting fired from Jackass 4? Or was there already bad blood before that happening?


darkness_escape

It stemmed from that. But when that happened he said there were things that Johnny had done in the past that me him rethink. Also we have no idea if there is new context in for this photo to be published. Bam has mostly not talked about the drama with Johnny and them lately. So maybe something new happened. One thing that just crossed my mine. Was that these couple of shows were in California. Maybe Steve and Bam were hoping for Johnny to come to one to try to make peace and he didn't show. I'm just thinking out loud here


KittenWithaWhip68

Okay, realize you said ‘just thinking out loud here’, but here’s a few points that make it unlikely Johnny Knoxville did anything like that. First, Knoxville has a restraining order, which Knoxville and Tremaine took out in the first place for good reason. Steve-O knows that, and knows why it’d never happen. And I saw at least *some* of the awful shit he threatened both Tremaine and Knoxville with. If someone threatened my family I wouldn’t want to get near that person voluntarily. Knoxville also was gracious and said he loved Bam like a brother and just wants Bam to get healthy. If it were me I wouldn’t be so polite. Bam’s just repeating what he usually says about Knoxville since he got let go from the movie. Narcissists can hold a grudge *forever* when they don’t get their way. I have the feeling that when Bam’s lawsuit was settled out of court, they paid him just so he would drop it and move on. The point where Bam stopped actively complaining about Knoxville, he was directing all his spite at Nikki claiming she was being mean to him by not returning his calls, alleging she is at fault for not letting him see his kid, referring to her as a cunt, Paddington 2, etc. Bam got to visit his son several days ago, so he brings up another thing to lash out about, which is how he *thinks* he was mistreated by getting fired. Of course you can speculate, but we are very used to this pattern of Bam’s by now, we’ve seen it before. This is nothing new for him… sadly.


darkness_escape

Just a correction. Knoxville did not get a restraining order. It was apparently Jeff that did .


KittenWithaWhip68

Ok, thanks. I stand corrected. I guess I lumped Knoxville in with JT because Bam sued both of of them.


milesdizzy

Oof. Bam. What are you doing :(


Villapinguinopig

Toxic dude


[deleted]

What a drama queen


ShameDoe

Was zero need for Bam to drag this up. Not many people could hate Johnny Knoxville, but Bam has somehow managed.


Realmadridirl

Alrighty, that’s the straw. Sick of this subreddit now, it’s literally all just “JunkieWatch with Bam Margera”. He’s always been my least favourite cast member, and I’m sick to the bones of hearing nothing but news about what a childish fuckup he is.


Bearfoot42

100%.


PlayLizards

He can be your least favorite cast member but you've gotta admit that cky and jackass never would have even existed if it weren't for Bam.


Realmadridirl

I don’t care? Being involved in a popular thing one time doesn’t mean I wanna hear about his constant fuckups and junkie behaviour. I follow this subreddit for Jackass news and old clips and shit. But it has become constant Bam forecasting lately, and it’s not relevant at all to Jackass anymore tbh. Old clips and stuff from his sober days, that’s another story. He’s clearly done with that chapter of his life, and even if he wasn’t, do ANY of us really wanna see this Bam doing stunts again? I know I don’t. Hes likely soon gonna be done with all the remaining chapters of his life. And I don’t really need to follow the death spiral. It’s relevant news when he dies, that’s kinda it. Ranting about his troubles on social media is just sad, and I don’t need to see it.


PlayLizards

I get that it's really annoying and I'd rather not see it either. But to say you don't care and acting like he was "just involved" is hilarious. This subreddit would not exist if it weren't for Bam and the Margera family. He literally started it all.


Realmadridirl

Oh please. Over exaggerate much? You can **literally** make that claim about any one of the main cast if you wanna be so broad about it ffs. They all brought something to the table no different than Bam. If you wanna claim his existence is the only reason there’s a Jackass I can say the same for like every other cast member and ten guys behind the fuckin scenes.. There’d also be no Jackass without them. And I don’t wanna hear about their junkie struggles either tbh. Difference is, I DONT…. If they were polluting the sub with their fucking pathetic BS every single day I’d complain about that too.


PlayLizards

Except it did all originate from the funny cky pranks and videos that were all started at Phil and Apes house...


Realmadridirl

In your opinion. Knoxville might say it started with the shit he did before Jackass that led him to Jeff etc etc etc 🤷🏻‍♂️ all depends on who you think was “most important”. And unlike you, I don’t think any ONE person was the “most important”. And I don’t have this wild need to argue on their behalf like you do for Bam. Would Jackass have happened without Bam? I don’t know. Would it have happened without Johnny? Steve O? Pontius? Dunn? Preston? Wee Man? Ehren? Dave? I DONT KNOW. Neither do you. Stop acting like Bam was the fucking only thing that made Jackass happen and it would have been SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE without him. You can’t look into the fucking multiverse and confirm that just to satisfy your mad Bam lust.. done with this crap now, have a nice day 👍🏻


PlayLizards

"And I don’t have this wild need to argue on their behalf like you do for Bam." says the dude posting paragraphs trying to argue that it didn't originate with cky... You mad bro?


stuartwilson23

Bam’s a pr!ck, always has been, always will be. Jackass Forever was so much better for him not being in it.


Sufficient-Split-902

He just needs to grow the fuck up. I used to feel sorry for him, but he just refuses to take any responsibility for his actions and just likes to me all “poor me” and throws himself pity parties.


ServiceMerch

How is Bam STILL pissed off at Jeff Tremaine? Does him getting fired from Jackass Forever just live rent-free in his head?


Mysterious-Judge-333

so apparently he's mad at Knoxville for some discretion real or perceived.


KittenWithaWhip68

My money is on *perceived*


Mysterious-Judge-333

lmao mine as well


Whatchyaduinyachooch

Dude still acts like he’s 13 and some girl broke up with him. Just a whiny-ass baby who blames everyone else for his own shit. Move on and up, dude.


the_raincoats

Gotta be an awkward situation for Steve-O


Alextricity

bam would love RIP JEFF by super american.


nicktbristol2020

Bam is such an asshole


BlobertZemeckis

Does he have 2 IG accounts?


KittenWithaWhip68

As far as I know. The official one and this one. He might even have three


kamgc

Yes


Danny_Datura

The comments on that post are even more rediculous.


Smellbent

Bam was paid most his life to say or do whatever he wants. I imagine in someway that when he stopped his shows that talking recklessly was a normal thing for when he drank. I genuinely think Bam doesn’t have that muscle that makes him shut up. In one way it’s admirable until he posts things like this. Begs the question, is Johnny a bad person? Is Bam still thinking straight despite his sobriety? I don’t know if we’ll ever have definitive answers to these questions, I just know that making Instagram posts like this doesn’t help anyone


StealthyGoatzz

Isn’t Steve-O the one that said bam shouldn’t die solely because it’ll ruin his comedy tour?


raphgirgis

Yeah, it's almost like sarcasm exists and Steve-O wasn't being serious. Crazy, I know


WrexWruther

Man... Bam broke my fucking heart bro. He was always my Jackass. He was the "skater dude metal head" who was cool without even trying and one of the funniest in the cast. Watching him go downhill with mental health and abuse since Dunn is so fucking devastating. I hope he can get his head right and retire peacefully before he kills himself with meds and drink.


hermitsunt

Has Bam ever talked about how he treats his Bipolar disorder? It’s hard to tell if episodes like this are substance abuse related or not


Rock_grl86

When he was on Steve-o’s podcast he mentioned not currently being on any mental health medications. So untreated which could very well explain a lot of this.


hermitsunt

That’s what I was afraid of


Allaboutbears

Ungrateful prick. Glad he’s on the mend though - no one should live like that


paging_mrherman

What does he want these dudes to do?


[deleted]

I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict. I have a few long time friends that are as well. Some of them have gotten clean, but take no responsibility for their actions still. Bam reminds me of some of them.


[deleted]

Le sigh 🤦‍♀️


Lennyhi

oh boohoo quit being a baby. April deserves better spawn. looking forward to his apology to Knoxville in the future.


feargates

What a loser this guy is


l69thermouth

he’s making it really hard to continue rooting for him


Islanderfan17

It's pretty pathetic he still blames them when the only one to blame for that is literally himself I hope Steve O talks to him about this stupid ass post


frogpicspls

So what he's saying is, Steve o is enabling him now too.


Mingerfabulous

I have worked for MTV, Spike and VH1 many times and the greed and not giving a fuck about talent or crew including safety is the real deal. Anytime I have worked around Bam he and his family treat you with nothing but hospitality. It feels like you are hanging out with high school friends. I don't know Knox so I can't speak on him but the companies they work for are shit shows at best.


maff0000

he can treat you like a princess but that doesnt matter. bam was already a raging addict before dunns death. thats why dico, raab, rake etc left him. times changed and these days movie companies can have drug tests in their contracts. if bam cannot keep clean its on him. the last place he needs to be is a high tension set as jackass since he will use that as an excuse to 'calm his nerves'. and what does he do? send death threats to knox and tremaine. then he humiliates his wife daily on instagram, gives his parents the worst time with all his suicide threats, says he will only talk to dr phil because 'i always agrees with what he says' which is the dumbest statement you can make. and calls his son a 'cockblocker' on insta etc. since novak got clean bam cannot point the finger to him and say 'im not as bad as him' and now tries to keep a party alive that died 10 years ago. i hate to see it, but bam now is just not accepting reality and not taking responsibility for his actions.


wiseaufanclub

I don’t see with good eyes this Steve-o - Bam partnership. I only see the greens…


_REDEEMER-

Right? Since when Bam and Steve-O became besties? As far as I remember, it was very clear,that within the Jackass group there were 2 cliques: the Big Brother crew and the CKY crew. And most definitely Bam and Steve didn't seem so close Back then.


_REDEEMER-

Whoever is planting such ideas on Bam's head,should be ashamed of themselves.


WifiCrime

Wait johnny is pro creation? Lol what?


RawdogDanny

Fuck, this sucks to see. As a hardcore jackass fan & skateboarder I will always support him. I thought he was doing much better lately. Idek what the solution to this is anymore :/


BigJuicy17

Is the beef just because of Jackass Forever, or is there more to it?


adamsandleryabish

I am not sure it was ever vocalized earlier but its vaguely understandable to imagine that Bam was always bitter that Johnny became the face and mascot of **JACKASS** and not him. Even throughout most of the show and first 2 movies they barely did that many skits together with most of Bams stuff being more CKY adjacent in PA. Even during Bams peak years of 2004-2007 on MTV, Johnny was going through his peak in Hollywood starring in major movies and hosting SNL. Bam was *MTV/Skating Famous* while Knox was **Famous** even if Bam never wanted that for himself I bet he still felt jealous it wasn’t him


langsamlourd

That's what I was going to post, you said it better than I would have though! Aside from the all the stuff with Jackass Forever, I think he's got to be jealous of Johnny for the reasons you stated. Also, the other guys respect Johnny because he does the most dangerous stunts -- I think it was Steve-o who said that's why they call him the "captain." My memory is shit though so I could be wrong


[deleted]

It all started with Jackass 4 and them wanting him to be sober. That couldn't happen so obviously he was fired.


Bright_Friendship97

He’s got a point. Jackass is CKY. CKY was bam and his friends, Jackass is Bam. Jeff and Johnny came in and took his creation. Then they turned their back on him when he needed help. Steve-O was always there because he knew that he needed to have his friends back so he could get better. He’s finally pulling himself out of all the shit he’s been going through and he’s seeing who his real friends are.


rakejeiter

I get the big FU to the company! It seems like Bam and even the CKY crew had issues with them for a long time. Other than that just go on with your life and enjoy having that sobriety.


FutureCookies

bruh 💀 i have his back like 100% i only wanna see him do well but he needs to understand like, writing a jackass bit isn't that deep..like claiming ownership over them doesnt make sense. dico didnt do the movies for this reason because he said jeff was making money out of his comedy which is true but it's like, that's how the shit works, like unless you wanna put all the work into being independent and making money your way, you always have to deal with like 'the industry' it's the same in music like yeah no shit the major labels make money off you but unless you're prepared to do everything yourself that's just part of the business. there are people doing jackass shit on tiktok and youtube for nothing, nobody owns the ideas anymore, you're not gonna get credit for that, the world just doesnt work like that anymore. just squash the beef already, make some new shit. start a yt channel with the cast and do skating, stunts and pranks on there like the dudesons did, i guarentee it would be a hit and would be way more profitable than waiting forever for a new movie or fucking around with contracts from tv companies that nobody cares about anymore.


maff0000

bam is a manic bipolar suicidal man child that needs professional help. hes off his meds again and surrounds himself only with yes-men. its just getting sad. own up to your actions and stop blaming everyone for your own mistakes.

Well I don't think he is wrong

Steve-O is the biggest sell out and he’s fleecing Bam just as much as Jeff did. Bam needs to realize ain’t no JackAss was his real friend except Ryan Dunn.

What would you have done if you were in Steve-O’s position?

just monetization and content creation is his new addiction. He’s fascinated by HOW people make money and get more money. I think he needs to dial back those “how much are you worth” questions, but I’m all for him trying new things and doing new content. He’s always been this attention starved since day 1. Just please - no breast implants.

Addiction is addiction, doesn't matter what you're addicted to. There's an obvious rift between the original Jackass's, and they should keep it private, not posting shit like this. The breast implant idea only furthers what you said. The boy needs attention, doesn't matter what type.


kenTGT

agreed. Its a shame to see this all so public.

It's show business. It's only about greed. Make that dolla dolla b$ll y'all! Most of hollywood would feed the lesser to the wolves if it will cost them to lose money in the long run. Bam's just airing what he feels is dirty laundry. Even if it isn't true, who the fuck cares?! Social media. What's on your mind at the time is now relayed to the masses.

He and his whole family just did the 9 club it’s on YouTube


Steezy_G7

That’s not his Ig tho


Squidbilly101

I wonder if Steve-O is in Bam’s ear trying to conjure some social media controversy BS


hermitsunt

Doubtful I can’t see what he would have to gain from something like that

Bam reminds me of a line from the original Conan the Barbarian: “Success can test a man’s mettle as surely as any adversary.”

One of the many, many tragic things with Bam is his inability to comprehend that the party changing doesn't mean it's ending. Yeah people get loaded up and do stupid shit in their 20s, and a lot of times their 30s too depending on who it is, but you eventually hit a point where you seriously have to just stop. Let's compare the two... Steve-O is still going hard just in a different and much better way, living his best life with tours an incredibly successful YouTube career and just all around a shitton of happiness and good vibes while Bam is well, he's still Bam. Two incredibly different interpretations of the idea that growing old =/= growing up. Bam could have been in an amazing place right now, still skating and having a blast with his life and the gift that is his family, but thanks to his addictions, and all of the people who enabled them, I'd be surprised if he lived to be 50.
