Update: Someone thankfully uploaded Bam's full episode on Doctor Phil. Enjoy TV's huckster "Doctor" Phil helping our favorite Jackass.
Yes he's a celeb, no one wants to turn this forum into TMZ. But on February 11th, 2021 Bam crossed the line to full cow in two unhinged rants where he blames Jackass for keeping him on a sobriety program and then begs people to give him $1 each via Venmo. This was then followed up a day later with Bam claiming he has Bi-Polar Disorder.
Brandon Cole "Bam" Margera (born Septermber 28, 1979) is a retired professional skater who achieved overnight stardom through the breakout reality show Jackass. He was a highlight with segments of him performing skate tricks and torturing his father Phil through pranks. He then starred in the Jackass film series, had his own spinoff "Viva La Bam" and was featured in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video games.
Popular belief is that Bam's life went downhill after the tragic death of his fellow Jackass costar Ryan Dunn. This isn't true as Bam went to rehab well over a year before Dunn crashed his Porsche. Ryan's death is simply used by Bam to excuse his degenerate lifestyle. Bam more or less goes into three stages, he either cries about Ryan Dunn, bitches about his family or friends, or brags about how much money he makes. He also holds a grudge that his surviving Jackass co-stars have managed to maintain sobriety for years and become functional adults. Nothing encapsulates Bam's massive ego more than his "Earth Rocker" video.
To properly chronicle Bam's full life would require a rock & roll biography. Youtuber Dank Net has made an excellent documentary on Bam's turbulent decade. Here's a short timeline of notable incidents:
