"Jackass" star Steve-O apparently wasn't going to just sit around and let former co-star Bam Margera trash "Jackass" creators Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine, the two people whom he says "organized the intervention which saved my life." He commented that on Bam's Instagram video rant and revealed his version of what really happened. Steve-O wrote, "Everyone bent over backwards to get you in the movie, and all you had to do was not get loaded. You've continued to get loaded, it's that simple." He continued to explain it's out of love, adding, "We all love you every bit as much as we all say we do, but nobody who really loves you can enable you or encourage you to stay sick."
However, Bam doesn't appear to see it that way. According to TMZ, he believes he was forced into rehab and into taking 18 different medications to treat depression, which he says led to suicidal thoughts. He talked about that and asked his fans to boycott seeing "Jackass 4" in another video rant he posted back in February.
While fans are bummed that Bam won't be in the newest "Jackass" movie, it appears that they, along with Steve-O, just want Bam to get the help he needs. Most of the comments on the post are fans urging him to stop blaming others and to get well. Bam ends his video by saying he's "safe" and "getting phenomenal help."
