Steve-O Jumps Off London Bridge Tower, Detained By Cops

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Steve-O did some extreme sightseeing in London, England, on Thursday, July 6th. The Jackass stuntman, all clad in Union Jack streetwear and a British flag umbrella, counted “One, Two, Three” before jumping from one of the London Bridge Towers into the River Thames. A few screaming fans were in attendance for the impromptu stunt…as were the London police. Once he made it to shore, the cops arrested and detained Steve-O for the unsanctioned stunt.

The London police allowed him to change his shirt and escorted him to a cop car through a throng of people. Some fans started chanting Steve-O’s name as he talked with the British fuzz. In the middle of his getting detained, he plugged his comedy show, which he was filming while in the U.K. “We just opened up tickets for the late show on July 14th at the Hackney Empire,” he says to the camera. “It’s the taping of my Bucket List special. Be there!” He then got put into a police car.

Why Did Steve-O Jump Off The London Bridge?

This stunt was clearly part of the Bucket List special Steve-O’s filming in London. TMZ got footage of the stunt and the subsequent detaining of the infamous stunt star, showing just how unfazed he is about the whole ordeal. Perhaps there is some sort of agreement between his production crew and English officials on the legality of the stunt. However, the police informed Steve-O that they were afraid his stunt would cause others to do the same for suicidal purposes. They weren’t concerned about the filming of the bridge leap as much as they were about British public health.

Steve-O said that they let him go eventually. And while he spent some time in a cop car, it didn’t compare to the half-minute he spent in the Thames. He called the river absolutely filthy, which won’t mix well with a new tattoo he just got above the knee. And this isn’t the first jump he’s done in England. He also leaped off a double-decker bus onto the pavement, making for a tougher landing than a dirty river.

SZA revealed that her ex-boyfriend once cheated on her during a recent concert at London’s O2 Arena. Before beginning her song, “Nobody Gets Me,” she opened up about the experience and why it made it difficult for her to enjoy London.

“I never told anybody but, my boyfriend cheated on me in this city before,” SZA began her story as the crowd reacted. “It was terrible. That’s why I was really sad to come here but you guys made it better. Thank you!”

“This song is about my other trash ex-boyfriend,” SZA added as she began, “Nobody Gets Me.” The track is the fourth single from her second studio album, SOS and is among SZA’s personal favorites from the project. Appearing on Hot 97 last year, she discussed how the track is about her ex-fiancé and the arguments they’d have before their eventual breakup.

“This particular song in entirety is a story about my ex-fiancé and how we went through all these arguments, and we broke up,” she explained a the time. “And when we first broke up it was like terrible, and I just felt like I was gonna be doomed to be in hell for the rest of my life because nobody understood me the way he did […] The stories that I tell in that song about our arguments… That’s the theme on that. I feel like a lot of people don’t understand me but it’s okay.”

Harvey and Idris have been dating since 2022. They were first spotted together at a West Hollywood restaurant in December. They made their romance official a month later while celebrating Harvey’s birthday. Harvey was previously in a relationship with Michael B. Jordan for a year and a half.

The pair broke up in June 2022. Afterward, Harvey spoke about what she wanted out of her next relationship during an appearance on Bumble’s Luv2SeeIt YouTube series. “I didn’t really know myself, I didn’t really know what I liked, what I didn’t like. I just feel like I hadn’t really experienced life,” she said at the time. “So, at that point I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to date on my terms.’ However, I want to move, whatever I want to do, I’m going to do it. And if it’s no longer serving me, I’m going to move on.”
