There have been growing concerns for Bam Margera’s well-being as he continues to struggle through his road to recovery. For decades, Margera’s antics have entertained millions of fans worldwide. However, much of his Jackass tomfoolery was fueled by reported alcohol and substance abuse. In recent years, there have been several reports regarding arrests, rehabs, and relapses. This week, it was shared that Margera was reportedly taken into custody once again, this time on suspicion of domestic violence.
Last week, Margera was arrested at a home in Escondido, California. PEOPLE reported it was around 5:30 a.m. when police were dispatched to the location. The stuntman is accused of kicking a woman, and the purported victim is speculated to be Margera’s estranged wife Nicole Boyd. Last month, she filed for divorce.
Bam Margera Builds On Scandals
Margera was reportedly booked on charges of “corporal injury on a current or former spouse, cohabitant, dating partner or fellow parent.” His bail was set at $50,000 and he was released the following day. Margera is due to return to court tomorrow, and the charges could be dropped by the D.A. if they choose.
This news follows a string of unfortunate incidents for the Jackass star. Within the last year alone, he enrolled in rehab multiple times. His former castmates have taken to their platforms and stages to express their concerns. Steve-O pleaded with Margera to get help, as did Johnny Knoxville. They both clashed with their friend during the filming of the latest Jackass film, as Margera was reportedly fired for not sticking to their sobriety contract.
Boyd’s Lawyer Explains Reason For Divorce
In an interview with TMZ last month, Boyd’s lawyer explained she decided to leave her marriage after Margera was intoxicated in front of their son. He also alleged that Margera was acting “inappropriately.” However, the actor reportedly clapped back, stating he was sober at the time. Boyd listed her reason for ending her wedded bliss as “irreconcilable differences.” She has asked for both legal and physical custody of their son, in addition to child support. Margera nor his reps have commented on his most recent arrest.
