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.”

Ne-Yo’s Ex Seeks Child Support In Exchange For Joint Custody

by

Ne-Yo’s ex-girlfriend, Sade Bagnerise, has agreed to share joint legal custody of their two children together, Braiden and Brixton. In May, he filed a lawsuit against Bagnerise, where he asked for a paternity test to be conducted in order to prove that he’s the father of the two boys. He additionally requested that Braiden’s last name be changed to Smith to match his own. Now, Bagnerise has filed a countersuit.

In the suit, the mother demands primary physical custody of their children. She also agreed for Ne-Yo to gain joint legal custody of their sons. Though the suit didn’t directly address his recent request for a paternity test, it claims that “[Ne-Yo] is the biological father of the parties’ minor children.” She’s also demanded that the singer pay her monthly child support along with reimbursement for their kids’ basic expenses.

Ne-Yo and his ex-wife, Crystal Renay, finalized their divorce in February of this year. Renay filed for divorce in 2022 after Ne-Yo fathered a child with another woman, Bagnerise. Earlier this year, Bagnerise took to social media to share a message about becoming pregnant with Ne-Yo’s child while he was married to another woman. “Coming to terms with the delicate circumstances, when I felt like I just couldn’t take on another load, especially at the expense of another persons happiness.. sometimes even my own.. wasn’t the easiest decision. However, I have to choose me. Therefore, I have to choose you,” she wrote.” Her post continued, “The JOY Braiden gives me every day strengthened me & let me know I can do this gracefully.. with love, compassion, and penitence . Patiently awaiting you. Ready for this journey. Ready 4 the lessons & the blessings. I can’t wait to meet you my buttercup!! xoxo MOMMY.”

In April, Ne-Yo defended himself against those hating on his personal life. He said, “Your opinions of me and my personal life don’t mean ANYTHING to me. My kids love me, my women love me. My future is bright as f**k!!” He continued, “Healthy, smart, and beautiful kids, limitless bank account, beautiful baby mama’s (Front [if] you want to. They all bad.) And lady friends that love my dirty drawls. ‘Life is good…’ (Future voice).”

Roddy Ricch Accused Of Substance Abuse

by

Roddy Ricch has landed himself in hot water with accusations of substance abuse. In a recent custody battle with his baby mama, she claims that the Compton rapper is abusing Promethazine. Nicknamed “lean” or “sizzurp,” many rappers and entertainers have indulged in abusing the medication for recreational purposes (say no to drugs kids). Moreover, Alexandra Kiser, Ricch’s baby mama, has filed for full custody of their 3-year-old son. According to documents obtained by The Blast, she stated that she’s been completely cut off financially. She also has to move out of the house Roddy Ricch provided for her. Not only that, Kiser is starting with full custody. However, she wants to put the Feed The Streets rhymer on child support.

Kiser is looking to receive $20,000 a month from Roddy Ricch. Reportedly the rappers income as of 2022 was estimated around $10 million. “[He] is a very successful and highly paid entertainer who goes by the name of Roddy Ricch. He has a net worth of approximately $25,000,000. He commands fees of $500,000 for appearances,” she began. Additionally, Kiser added that she currently has zero income. According to the filing Roddy Ricch’s child’s mother accuses him of being an absentee father. She alleges, “Since his birth, I alone, spend 98% of the time with him while Rodrick lives his life without any regard to his parental obligation or responsibility to spend time with Kadence.”

Furthermore, she continued to say that Roddy is absent for many important moments within their child’s life. Not only that, he’s also hired heavy-hitting lawyer Samantha Spector to defend him in the case. Kiser gave more details about Roddy Ricch’s whereabouts claiming he recently moved into a new gated community and wanted her to move out as soon as possible of the property he provided.

There’s a lot to unpack for this case. However, at the end of the day, the welfare of the child is what matters most. Hopefully, Roddy Ricch can come to some sort of agreement with his baby mama to resolve things. What are your thoughts on this situation? Does Roddy Ricch need to cough up the 20K?

Drake Bell’s Wife Files For Divorce

by

Drake Bell has had quite the week. A few days ago, he was reported missing. His brother said he could be suicidal over custody issues. In a statement, police described the car he may be driving. “He should be traveling in a 2022 grey BMW and his last known location is potentially the area of Mainland High School on 4/12/2023 just before 9 PM,” they said. “He is considered missing and endangered.” Luckily, he was found completely fine, but that was not the end of his bad week.

Throughout the years, Bell has faced several legal troubles. In 2021, he was sentenced to a two-year probation period for endangering a minor due to his relationship with a 15-year-old girl whom he met during a concert in 2017. He later confessed to attempting to endanger a minor and distributing harmful content to juveniles. In addition, he was mandated to complete 200 hours of community service in California. During his 2021 sentencing, Bell admitted to his wrongdoing, expressed regret, and apologized to the victim and anyone else who may have been affected by his actions.

Bell’s Messy Relationship History

Today, Drake’s wife of four years filed for divorce. For those paying attention, this likely comes as no surprise. In 2020, Drake’s former fling accused him of abuse. She originally accused him in a number of TikTok videos. Then, she took to Instagram to explain further. “Everyone that really knows me and has been a friend of mine for the past 15 years, knows all too well of the abuse that Drake Bell put me through,” she wrote. “I have so many witnesses, I have photos, it was my life. If you don’t believe me, it is clear to me what kind of person you are, and I don’t need that on my side.”

Drake, of course, denied the accusations of abuse. He made a statement on the situation, as well. “As our relationship ended — more than a decade ago — we, unfortunately, both called each other terrible names, as often happens when couples are breaking up,” Bell says. “But that is it. Clearly, Melissa still felt close enough to me just last year that she was comfortable reaching out to ask me to provide her with financial support during a tough time (which I did).” What do you think of the latest drama in the Drake Bell situation? Let us know in the comments!
