Bam Margera Says He’s 120 Days Sober, Gets Shoutout From Mark Wahlberg

by

Bam Margera has told TMZ that he is 120 days sober and doing well in his recovery. The former Jackass star told the outlet that his partner Dannii, skateboarding, and going to the gym have all helped him stay on the wagon. Furthermore, he revealed that he is currently in San Antonio to design artwork for a clothing company. Additionally, Margera’s gym of choice earned him from Mark Wahlberg. The owner of the gym worked with Marky Mark to get in shape for 2013’s Lone Survivor.

Wahlberg congratulated Margera on his sobriety, something he himself has been aiming for his year, and extended an invitation to connect next time Margera is in Las Vegas. Additionally, Margera revealed he had recently been cleared to see his son Phoenix. As a result, he plans to drive from Texas to California, stopping to visit Wahlberg along the way.

Britney Spears Inspires Bam Margera’s Latest Tattoo

Back in September, Margera got a new neck tattoo inspired by Britney Spears. The former Jackass star’s new ink reads “Britney Spears [heart] oops they did it to me too! [stylized smiley face]”. In a video sent to TMZ, Margera claimed that the tattoo was a reference to the “Florida Shuffle”. The term is a slang phrase referring to substance addicts who are “shuffled” between Florida rehabs that repeatedly charge the stays to the person’s insurance. “[I’ve done] the Guinness Book of World Records of longest Florida shuffle of nearly 2 years,” Margera said. Reportedly, he has done 10 back-to-back stays in rehab for a total cost of $660,000. Furthermore, Margera blasted the “controlling c-cksuckers that act like they care for your well-being when it’s all about money.”

Meanwhile, Margera drew comparisons between his experience and the torturous ordeal Spears went through during her infamous conservatorship. That, he said, was the primary reason he got the tattoo that he did. However, it’s not the first time that Margera has made reference to Spears recently. Earlier this year, while doing stand-up with Steve-O, Margera referred to himself as the “Britney Spears of Jackass“. Margera also recently celebrated a month of sobriety and told TMZ that he is residing just outside of Philadelphia with his girlfriend Dannii.

Spears Causing Concern

While Margera may be showing solidarity, Spears herself has been a cause for concern for many fans. Earlier this week, Spears added a pair of kitchen knives to her usual dancing videos on Instagram. While Spears claimed the knives were fake, fans were unconvinced. That disbelief was compounded by a subsequent video in which Spears can be seen wearing a bandage on her wrist. Furthermore, a small cut can be seen on her leg. One of the most notable conditions of her infamous conservatorship was that under no circumstances was Spears allowed to have access to knives.

Meanwhile, fans have taken aim at Spears for scaring her dogs. Three of the singer’s dogs were seen visibly panicking in her first knife video. This has led to several viewers demanding that someone step in and protect the dogs from potential harm. However, Ventura County Animal Control says they received no complaints and do not plan to take unsolicited action. “We reviewed the video, and while the dogs appeared to be startled by the clinking of the knives, we didn’t feel they were in a situation where an officer needed to be dispatched,” a spokesperson told TMZ.

Bam Margera Disses “Jackass” Co-Stars In New Music Video

by

You may know Bam Margera best for his work on “Jackass,” but apparently he has a burgeoning rap career under his belt. Well, he only rapped to diss his former co-stars, but a verse is still a verse at the end of the day, albeit not the greatest one you’ll ever hear. Moreover, he tapped rappers Cult Shotta and Tanboymiguel for the “Feel Like Bam” single and music video, and it’s quite the doozy. Instrumentally, it falls in line with the current alt-rock and rap fusions that other artists in the mainstream are crafting. Where it really gets spicy are in the lyrics, and even then, most of his disses come through a spoke-word outro at the end.

Furthermore, Bam Margera specifically took shots at Johnny Knoxville, Wee Man, Steve-O, and director Jeff Tremaine. Margera covered a few bases, even though his paint point was to say “F**k them all” and to bash their skating skills. Another bar actually sees him challenging Knoxville to a fight, whereas the only direct and more serious diss on this track had Tremaine as its target. The former “Jackass” star said that the director held them under unfair contracts stating that everyone could get hurt except him.

Unfortunately, Bam Margera’s been having a rough time as of late, whether due to his own actions or his struggles. For example, Lamar Odom invited him to rehab, and he got himself into plenty of dangerous situations over the past few years. Despite that, some of his peers read between the lines, and continue to urge him to seek true help. One of these was Steve-O, who posted and then deleted an emotional and pained message to his colleague.

“I brought you on tour with me in hopes that I could get you to see what’s possible for you if you choose recovery,” he wrote. “I’ve tried everything I can. But I can’t force you to get honest and do the work of recovery. I wish you could know how much I’ve hated feeling braced for news of your death, but you’re making it clear that I have no other choice. You’re dying, brother, and it sucks that I can’t do anything to save you.” For more news and the latest updates on Bam Margera, stick around on HNHH.

Bam Margera Claims Ex-Wife Won’t Let Him See Their Son

by

More twists have dropped in the ongoing legal saga of former Jackass star Bam Margera. Margera caught the attention of news outlets in April after reportedly assaulting his brother at the family home. That resulted in a four-day police manhunt before Margera turned himself in. After that incident, Margera claimed that he would be pursuing sobriety in order to see his son, Phoenix.

However, things quickly spiraled out of control after Margera was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold in Los Angeles in June. Reportedly, Margera had flown to LA in order to try and force a visit with his son. He was placed in psychiatric care after filming a video in which he said he would smoke crack until he died unless he saw his son. After that, he was discharged to a rehab facility owned by former NBA star Lamar Odom. However, Margera left the program early and reportedly headed to Vegas.

Margera Reiterates Desire To See Son

Speaking to TMZ outside a courthouse in LA, Margera reiterated his desire to see his son in person. However, he claimed that his ex-wife, Nikki, is currently preventing him from doing this. Furthermore, he alleged that the most contact he has had with Phoenix since this whole debacle began has been a handful of brief FaceTime calls.

Margera is currently engaged in a custody battle with Nikki. The latest court hearing was over the validity of their marriage. Margera claims that the marriage, which took place in Iceland in 2013, was not legal as neither he nor Nikki were residents of the country. If upheld, it would call into question whether the California court has the authority to rule on the case. Meanwhile, Nikki also spoke to TMZ after the proceedings. “I haven’t yet seen anything that was consistent,” Nikki said on Margera’s alleged sobriety. “It’s scary,” Nikki continued, speaking on Margera’s erratic behavior, “His behavior has been extremely scary. Automatically, I’m going to choose our son. He [Margera] has put us in some extremely dangerous situations.”

Bam Magera Calls Ex-Wife A “Gold Digger”

by

Bam Magera was recently released from a 5150 psychiatric hold at an LA hospital. Furthermore, he was discharged into the care of former NBA star Lamar Odom. Magera was detained after flying to Los Angeles and threatening to smoke crack until he died unless he saw his son. According to Magera’s team, the former Jackass star has not been in contact with his son Phoenix for more than two months. This has been a result of Magera’s battle with substance abuse and his various headline-grabbing exploits. In April, Magera vowed that he was getting sober for the sake of his son.

While Magra is reportedly detoxing at one of Odom’s facilities ahead of a transfer to another facility for long-term rehabilitation, he is still making headlines. It is clear that Magrea still wants to see his son. Furthermore, he is reportedly beginning to get aggressive about the issue with his ex-wife, Nikki.

Magrea Accused Of Sending Abusive Texts

According to David Glass, the attorney for Magera’s ex-wife Nikki Boyd, Magera has been sending Boyd increasingly abusive texts since leaving the hospital. “Bam has started texting since his release from the 5150 hold, but the content quickly turned abusive, calling Nikki awful names, saying she is the cause of all his problems, even saying she’s a ‘gold digger’,” Glass told TMZ. The ‘gold digger’ claim stems from reports that Nikki is seeking $15,377 in child support and $50K in attorney’s fees.

Magera’s attorney, Peter Thompson, hit back at the claims by trying to place some of the blame on Boyd. “Bam continues to support her and Phoenix even though she won’t even allow a phone call or FaceTime with Phoenix. He just wants to see his son and continues to come up against a brick wall on that. Contact would go a long way in getting this resolved.” It’s unclear how much phone usage Odom’s facilities allow and whether these reports will affect Magera’s stay. However, this is a developing story and we’ll have any updates here at HotNewHipHop.

Bam Magera To Enter Lamar Odom Rehab Facility

by

Last week, Magera was placed on a psychiatric hold after flying to LA and claiming that he was going to smoke crack until he died unless he saw his son. The detention came as a result of appeals from Magera’s family and the LAPD tracking his cell phone. After making contact with Magera at a taco restaurant, the former Jackass star was placed on a 5150 hold.

Former NBA star Lamar Odom reportedly visited Magera in the hospital on June 8. Odom, who has been very public about his own substance abuse struggles, owns three wellness and rehab centers. Two are located in southern California while a third is located in Kansas. Back in April, Odom offered Magera a place at one of his clinics free of charge after Magera turned himself into police after a four-day manhunt. However, he never went through with the treatment.

Magrea Discharged to Odom Facility

According to TMZ, Odom visited Magera in the hospital and once again offered him a place at one of his centers. This would come after the hold on Magera is lifted. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Magera appeared received. The pair reportedly shared a hug in the hospital.

TMZ has since reported that Magera has been discharged from the hospital, with the hold being lifted. According to sources who spoke with the outlet, Magera was discharged directly in Odom’s care. He will spend a period of time at one of Odom’s facilities for an initial detox before moving to another of the former Laker’s facilities for a more long-term rehab stay.

Bam Margera Reportedly Placed In 5150 Psychiatric Hold

by

The seemingly endless series of issues that former Jackass star Bam Margera has been through in recent years is continuing. According to TMZ, after LAPD found Bam acting erratically they had him evaluated by a psychiatric team. That team determined that he was a danger to himself and others and placed him in a 5150 psychiatric hold. This happened yesterday morning and the 5150 gives authorities the right to hold him for 72 hours, during which time a more thorough evaluation can be made.

A day before he was found by police Bam’s brother Jess made a tweet asking if anyone could locate Bam. This reportedly followed a text Bam sent to family members that made them concerned that he was suicidal. This follows a more public threat of suicide made by Bam on his social media last week. That claim related to Bam not being able to see his son during ongoing divorce proceedings with his estranged wife Nikki.

Bam’s Newest Troubles

Unfortunately, this is just the latest in a long line of problems for Bam Margera. Back in April, he was forced to turn himself over to police after a viral four-day manhunt that saw fans online trying to locate him. This followed just a few months after his wife Nikki initially filed for divorce. In her claim, she cites both Bam’s struggles with addiction and alleged abuses.

The biggest story involving Bam Margera unfolded over the past few years when he was removed from the most recent Jackass film, Jackass Forever. The controversy played out publicly with cast members giving their own explanations for Bam’s absence from the film. Eventually, the issues developed into legal territory when Bam filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Johnny Knoxville and Paramount Pictures. He later dropped the suit after a settlement was reached. In order to work on the film Bam had signed a much-publicized “wellness agreement” that stipulated certain standards of behavior he had to maintain. This agreement became one of Bam’s biggest public gripes about his treatment of the film. Tell us what you think about Bam’s situation in the comments below.

Lamar Odom Invites Bam Margera To Rehab

by

Lamar Odom is the epitome of a mid-major college star. After putting up 17.6 points per game for Rhode Island in the 1998/99 NCAA season, Odom was selected fourth overall in the 1999 NBA Draft. He spent four years with the LA Clippers but was cut after injury derail his third and fourth seasons. After a year in Miami, he was traded to the Lakers. He would eventually retire in 2014.

Since leaving the NBA, Odom has devoted his time to God and helping others. He owns and operates three substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Southern California. Having faced with own battle with substance abuse, Odom is now looking to help people in the same situation. And now he’s making headlines in the case of former Jackass star Bam Margera.

Lamar Odom Wants To Help Bam Margera

Bam Margera’s issues with substance abuse, specifically alcohol, have been public for many years. As recently as March 2023, he was arrested for public intoxication. However, Margera re-entered the news recently after triggering a police manhunt. Police in Pennsylvania were called to a property in Pocopson after Bam reportedly assaulted his brother and threatened to kill him. Margera turned himself in after four days on the run.

That is the incident that inspired him to get clean and help others on their own journey. “All he has to do is show up,” Odom said when asked if he would be willing to help Margera, “Only if he wants it though, that’s the most important part,” Odom continued. He concluded by saying that he loved Margera and that he should “stay strong”. It remains to be if Margera will accept the offer. It was reportedly a rehab plan that led to the confrontation between Margera and his brother last week. However, Odom has made it clear that he wants to help.
