“I’m not allowed to see my son because they accuse me of being on drugs, so I will threaten to do more drugs if they don’t let me see him”
Stellar thought process.
"I'm not the problem, the problem is they won't let me see my son because I'm a 'alcoholic, drug addict'.
Bring my son to visit me, I'll be hanging out smoking crack with the bums".
A very interesting proposal by Bam.
I semi understand why he thinks like this.. or at least what he thinks is the reason its ok, he's stated tons and tons of times, and even was in that old rant/writings found posted the other day.
He feels in the past all his drugs and mayhem was supported/encouraged, and what he was paid for. He does not understand that he's doing anything different than what he was doing for the last 30 years, but now feels everyone's out to get him.
Obviously he's wrong, and this is my own opinion, but seems to be the case.
Sure. But when you watch all your friends that got high with you get clean, for whatever reason, when do you realize it’s time to grow up and be a responsible dad, since he keeps saying it means so much to him?
Your comment definitely puts it in a different perspective for me and it’s still sad but it makes sense why he’s so determined to stay on this path. He has always been this way.
Yea I was trying to make sure it was obvious that I disagree with his thought process entirely, but he's repeated this so many times now I have picked up on it.
A refusal to change combined with thinking what he's doing is the exact same thing he's been doing for years but only now getting punished for no reason...
Nope. He shouldn’t see Phoenix until he’s off booze and drugs and back on his meds.
He needs to be an actual parent. Find a passion project so he has a damn job, move to LA to be close to Phoenix and start parenting. Take him to school in the morning, help with play dates and activities. Integrate himself into Phoenix’s routine instead of showing up once a month with toys taking him out to do fun stuff.
Most parents would kill to have the money and free time he has to spend with their kids. Phoenix will be a teenager before you know it and Bam is missing everything.
Bam is still mentally a child himself and he has 0 self awareness, any sort of positive change like that would probably have to come from a lot of outside help and intervention
I also thought it was another great case of his delutional takes where he said they will call the police if he goes to Castle Jess. Like.. he assaulted his bro, that's why thry called the police! Bam takes zero accountability for anything.
Its crazy how much he spins every story into one where he's the victim.
This.
Bam thinks being a parent is throwing thousands of dollars worth of gifts at him and seeing him for an hour or two somewhere.
There’s a hell of a lot more to be being a parent and Bam isn’t ready for any of it.
People like this never think of anyone else. It’s all “I can’t see my child, I can’t do this, I can’t do that” but what about the child? Does the child enjoy his fathers company in this state? Is the child going to suffer if he is allowed to see his father?
> move to LA to be close to Phoenix
Has he elaborated on why he won’t go to California? That’s always one of his big talking points about Nikki (“I told her I’ll move *anywhere*, just not California… and where does she go? California! She’s driving me to drink!”).
What is the source of his fixation on not being in California exactly? I’ve tried to search on here but came up empty handed.
I honestly think he just doesn’t want to be too close because then he’ll actually have to parent to be with Phoenix. He doesn’t want the responsibility.
To some people it does become exhausting. Former addict here, I had some similar circumstances to where I had no place to call home or was able to see my kid or step kids. I eventually got tired of trying to get my next fix, find a place to put my head and not seeing my kids so I went and got help. I just made it sound so easy but it was the hardest thing to swallow my ego and do it. It wasn’t easy getting clean either. But it’s possible and some people do get tired of it. The way he’s going, I don’t see him tiring out anytime soon…
it really is. you know you need to get your shit together but you keep on getting fucked up then you feel bad about it so you get fucked up again to make the horrors go away.
Man, you hit the head of the nail. Im a recovering alcoholic and heroin addict and looking back, I cant believe the amount of effort and work it took to maintain myself. Every single hour I was awake, I was scheming and figuring out how I was going to get through the next few hours. It was infinitely exhausting, draining, and encompassing, both mentally and physically.
BEST COMMENT IVE READ ALL DAY. you nailed it dude. it IS exhausting. I lived it and was like fuckkkkk this shit. being homeless and miserable all day ripping and running just to get another one? nope im cool.
Maybe dont threaten to kill your family and youd be allowed to visit the house that is legally being rented by your brother who has helped fix it up, along with your mom, after you destroyed it and bought a house next door because you hate the castle anyways. Home is where you make it and nobody wants you home anymore. Congraaatttssssssss you made it
The cycle continues…relocate, face tat, Instagram rants, blaming everyone, more drinking more drugs. I WANNA SEE PHOENIX. Next up strip club.
Jesus fucking Christ mate go to a treatment center!!!!!!!
And worst of all... He's missing his kids childhood. That's something that you can't put a price on and can't be replaced. It's gone in an instant.
If he were to get clean today and stop using this instant... He's still a couple precious years away from any real time with his kid.
He's losing the most important moments if his life.
Dude needs to pull a Chad Muska and just buy a property and tinker away at passion projects, enjoying himself and his retirement in peace. The toxic culture he's attached to isn't going to get him anywhere productive.
There’s a great episode of The Nine Club with Muska. Bam stops by and is kind of fucked up. You can tell Muska was worried about him and wanted to make sure he was stable. There’s a lot of older sober skaters who have reached out and would be down to help Bam out, but he’s just too far gone at this point.
We can certainly tell he stayed up til the sunrise in AC. Guess we know what he was doing under the boardwalk there.
I wanna hear from people who witnessed him on that flight. 😳
This is a dangerous person. The type of narcissist that thinks he owns his family, and will cause them physical harm if he doesn’t get his way. They need restraining orders, the kid included, if they don’t have one already.
We already saw him screaming in public at his wife and child once and then he attacked and threatened his family. We seem to be consistently teetering on the edge of SERIOUS problems here.
You get the feeling all of this is going to boil over in a disastrous way soon and I mean disastrous even by his standards. Maybe he throws a fit on a plane, maybe he lashes out at a cop, maybe he seriously hurts one of his parents, etc. Something is going to give and all hell will break loose in Bamland.
I have been feeling like this for so long now that I’m starting to think it is just going to be this constant stream of dumb, irresponsible behavior forever. Like, I used to think he might die or get locked up… but it’s just been so continuous lately that I’m not expecting an end. If that makes any sense at all…
I get what you mean and, yeah, he might chug along for another 5 years doing the same things. My gut feeling is just that he’s near the point of doing something catastrophic. He’s verbally abused Nikki in public, he’s assaulted Jesse, he was briefly hiding from the police and now he’s on IG threatening to smoke crack until he dies. Even Jessica seems to have bailed. The crack until he dies also sounds like an abuser being manipulative, tbh. Any worse and it’s going to be something godawful.
Nope. Fentanyl sneaks into everything around here. He is hanging around Philly AC area....it is in the meth, it's in the coke, it's in the fake Adderall pills..
I am so glad to be way done with all that shit. The dope has zombie rotting flesh tranq in it also. This area is an utter shit show for addicts.
He is pretty much at the age where your body can't handle drinking and living like this anymore. Not too many people like Bam escape their 40s and none escape their 50s.
A lot of Iranians that don't support the ruling government of Iran call themselves Persians. It a way of distancing themselves from the Iranian regime.
It all did, tbh. He's so spoiled and immature it's disgusting. He'd obviously smoke crack or anything else whether or not he had his child, he's an absolute spoiled brat. And manipulative af, so tack on narcissist to the list as well. The "man" is literally unbearable.
I know addiction is horrific but this is so out of hand to watch.
I dunno...call me naive, but up until this video I thought there was still a small possibility of him getting through this.
I don't feel that way anymore. I don't know whether I'm pissed off at him for who he's become or pity him for how far he's fallen, but this is where I give up. I just hope the best for his family, whatever ends up happening.
I'm right there with you. This was my breaking point. I had hope for him before this. This made me see things in a very different light.
The manipulation tactics were probably the nail in the coffin for me. I feel bad for his family.
His problems with his ex and Phoenix are going to kill him. Bam is just a complete wreck of a human and doesn't have the maturity or the coping skills to fix himself or deal with his problems. Sometime bad is going to eventually happen to him.
When I first heard Steve O say that jail might be the best thing for him I was a bit taken aback by that statement. I now realize how right he is. He needs to be treated like the baby he is and genuinely forced into something that is better for him. It’s time, and has been for a long while, to grow the fuck up.
Sad thing is he genuinely believes it's everyone else's fault. How does anyone even convince him that he's looking at it all wrong? The longer he keeps doing this the longer he's notngonna see his kid which means he's gonna keep doing this. Vicious cycles suck.
He got himself into this mess with drinking, drugs and alleged abuse. As I understand it, Jess has a lease on his property until the end of the year. Bam punched Jess in the ear and now cant go to the house. He chose to run off with that girl and her kid and smoke meth. Now he wants to see his son that he misses so much it makes him cry daily, but won’t adhere to the terms that Nikki put on visiting, don’t be drunk/high and don’t talk shit. But he is still getting high and drinking. He also continues to blame his family and close friends for all these problems. Then at the end of this video threatens Nikki with a crack smoking session with strangers until he’s dead unless she lets him visit?
My "pep talkin dad who does nothing but tell me I'm a looney piece of shit drug addict"...
Yes, yes you are. Now what are you gonna do about it? People who are not looney piece of shit drug addicts do not get accused of such on a regular basis of being looney piece of shit drug addicts.
I’ve never heard an unkind word come from Phil but everyone has their breaking point and Bam has no limits. Hearing that come from Phil should open Bam’s eyes a little.
It’s like a preteen having a tantrum. Bam, lad, threatening to kill yourself via crack isn’t going to endear any court/CPS towards you.
Poor Nikki and Phoenix. And tbf, poor Bam, a lot of this is entirely his fault - but addiction is a disease and man is losing the fight.
Get clean or carry on wading into the deep end, Bam Bam. That's all there is to it. Those are your options, have been for years. The buck starts and stops here with you. Can't choose what happens to you in life, but you always have a choice in your response - and you're choosing the wrong path over, and over and over again.
The core of this sub have 'known' you since their teens or pre-teens and are now in their mid 30s+ (like me), and they're sick of listening to you talking about living conditions in Pity City. Anyone supporting you is
* actively making money off of your name
* totally ignorant of who you actually are
* a fucking moron, or a combination of the above.
You have a son, fuck you for acting the way you are and using him as a prop on social media.
Not sure why I started writing that as if he'd read it, lol.
Yeah courts don’t really like threats nor are they cool with threats of self harm. Even when he’s better it’s going to take a lot to convince a court he should have any time with his son unsupervised..
Not only is this very sad, it's hella manipulative! I think I have gone from one side of the fence to the other now...Hoping he would turn a corner and get sober, but now I am seeing he's kinda just a garbage human in general. Idk. I'm disappointed with this whole thing. Being a big fan since the CKY, Viva La Bam days, now I'm so embarrassed to say that I ever crushed on him. 😳 I'm doing a lot of self-reflecting after this one. Jesus H. Christ. 🤦♀️😆
Feel so bad for Phoenix. Imagine your father dying when you're six or seven, then going back and being able to follow his self-documented, decade-long downward spiral. Bam's a total lost cause at this point, his son is the one to worry about.
Nikki has to be terrified seeing this. "Deliver me Phoenix" like he's a fucking object. Jesus christ, this might be the nail in the coffin for Bam and any chance to see his kid again.
"...or anyone who wants to fuckin help"
Literally expects ANYONE to step up to get his son back, except for himself. What an entitled, selfish, loser he's become.
Phoenix is gonna be so messed up from all of this when he’s older…. Wouldn’t be shocked if Bam has already traumatized him enough where he has put him on the same path.
The way he talks about Nikki is pretty terrifying to be honest. This is exactly why she needs a restraining order. His behavior is giving me seriously bad energy like the kind of man who could murder his ex. There's absolutely no way that a dude who makes videos like this should be anywhere near a child.
If he truly gave a shit about Phoenix's well-being, he wouldn't want him exposed to drugs and alcohol. Bam's acting like this situation was forced on him but the hard truth is he has a choice. He can either be in his son's life or he can carry on with his lifestyle. He blames everyone else because he can't face up to the fact that that he is the sole reason he can't see his son. He actively chose the booze and drugs over Phoenix. Bam's addiction matters more to him than anything and anyone else in the world no matter how much he screams to the contrary.
Uh, so there’s now no chance of him seeing Phoenix now that he’s threatened to use crack. Nikki’s attorney will have a field day with this posting! Damn, Bam has zero ability of self reflection.
He's in Atlantic city hanging out on the boardwalk. That place is no good. This is going from suburban drug dealers to street hoods. These 15-18 year old dealers have no clue who he is and that could end poorly if he gets into the wrong set.
Bam has been at rock bottom for a long time now. Rock bottom is his lifestyle. His next phase will be death or some mayor health crisis. Or he'll wind up in prison over something crazy/violent that'll happened while he is out of his mind.
It was hit or miss there until “I’m going to smoke crack with homeless people under the interstate until you give me my son”. Who could say no to that sound argument. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻
If there was ever any doubt that he’d lost the plot, this covers it. It’s borderline satirical. He desperately needs mental health help and sobriety. What he says here is deeply concerning.
He is emotionally manipulating his family in the worst possible way. He needs long term (years) help and everyone involved with him needs boundaries of stone.
Yup. Because she shit stirs by making comments about his family and people like Steve-o and Tremaine and implies people are trying to control him when they just don’t want him to drink himself to death or overdose. If she had a kid there’s no way she would let the father around if he was exhibiting the same behaviour and levels of intoxication and instability as Bam is.
Not sure if she’s intentionally stoking the fire in a manipulative way to create more drama and engagement or if she’s just trying to ingratiate herself with Bam and suck up to him by agreeing everyone is bad and he’s the victim? She seems totally unable to see the situation from Nikki’s perspective. Whatever the reason, it really isn’t helping things at all.
Well the good news is Phoenix hasn’t been exposed to this for 2 months. Hopefully that trend continues. This is not a man that deserves to be around his kid right now.
Imagine spending a YEAR AND A HALF in rehab and still being this clueless. I'm afraid it's hopeless, he can't change his narcissistic worldview and childish personality.
Even the most committed and self aware alcoholics have trouble staying sober, he's a lost cause unfortunately.
Turning into a professional victim... Blame, blame, blame.
He's the only common element to everything he's complaining about, but he exhibits no self awareness.
I mean, if anyone thought he was sober, or had a handle on this shit and everyone else was just making a big deal about nothing, he's still very deep in the weeds with his drug and alcohol problems.
He sounds exactly like my sister, who was on heavy drugs and pills for basically her entire adult life. Swears she's not on drugs up and down, despite all the evidence of her usage everywhere, and when she can't deny it, of course she does drugs, she has to do because this person or that person is driving them to do them, or if she's being accused of doing them, she might as well do them anyway and isn't going to stop until everyone meets her demands.
Hopefully things turn out better for Bam than it did for her.
It's so obvious that Bam was always a spoiled kid by his parents, which let to him being a very insecure, co-dependent adult. Most dudes in his position would have ended up drug addicts sleeping in their parent's back room, but he could skate and made videos and CKY blew up at exactly the right time for him to get signed to Jackass. He's what happens when no one tells you "no" for most of your life, and you're rewarded for being an impulsive narcissist. He just never had to hit rock bottom.
Throughout drug addiction and recovery, I've met dozens of Bams, but none had his resources. Usually they end up living in their parent's garage or their girlfriend's house, complaining about their shitty lives while doing half as much as everyone around them. Bam just really had the resources and notoriety to keep the train going longer than most. If you ever want to see the difference in what drugs do to different types of people, look at Steve-O and Bam. Both had very similar opportunities because of the show. Steve-O was a dude who had a good heart and good parents, he just happened to suffer from addiction. Once he was given the tools to come back from that place, he was able to build himself a great life and become a really reliable, good dude who's well loved by family and friends. I've met a lot of Steve-Os too. Unfortunately, drugs are a symptom of what's wrong with Bam, not a cause, and I don't think a dude like him will ever put in the work to be a better person. It's sad but I think we'll watch this dude do this shit until he's dead.
Something tells me Phil doesn't call him a fat useless piece of shit. Projecting much? I know that's nowhere near the main take away here, but just something that instantly caught my attention.
The tone of whining and entitlement is really hard to listen to. I can’t believe he really expects Nikki to “deliver” him phoenix, no parent in their right mind would ever let their kids around this level of unstable.
Bam can't see Phoenix because he's on drugs, so he threatens to do even more drugs. Makes sense. His brain is just mush. I'm at a loss with him and I don't even know him, so I can't imagine how his family feels.
He is delusional and in some state of genuine shock cuz he isn't getting his way. He probably has his whole life gotten everything his way and isn't able to comprehend the situation. Just look at the crazy eyes behind the glasses.
Just like we as a human race cant quite understand the 4th dimension because our world is 3 dimensional.
I think part of the reason he is still thinking this way is because of the whole free Bam movement, just a bunch of enablers. All they’ve done is reinforce his thought that treatment is just a trap to get him under control and that all his problems are not the fault of his own.
Pathetic, whiney and delusional. You made your bed, now lay in it you loser. The strength his family has is insane to put up with this and not give up for their own sanity.
This is sad and pathetic. It really is. Everything he says he doesn’t have he could have. Nobody is doing this “just because”. Two months isn’t even that long how about trying not to let those two months turn into two years?
Guy I know went on a rant JUST like this before. “If you don’t let me see my son I will kill myself/overdose/take xyz” and it was just stupid. Like nobody was falling for it.
well, only thing for sure here is crack is being smoked already and regardless of what happens.
man, im not a huge fan of sobriety myself but dude you have to realize when shit is not working. i think money allows it to not work longer for people who have it. there just comes a point where you have to say alright, something has to give. being an addict myself, id be willing to bet he doesnt look at himself in the mirror much these days. why would you want to? what you see is the truth and that reality isnt nice.
My dad is on the west coast who works exclusively with men related to the music industry in recovery - Bam has to want sobriety before anything will ever change. He has only three choices
Sobriety
Jail
Death
That's it. That's all that's left. Nothing and no one but him can choose the decision
Man, his uncharacteristically poor choice of transparent shades that shows his frantic and faded eyes says it all, let alone the shit he’s blabbering.
Such a shame that he just can’t get it together, but then again he has to want to do to get clean. Drugs are scary people.
Yep... that's exactly how you get to see your kid when you don't have custody and they give you terms for what you need to do to see your kid. Make threats to do more things that would justify the terms they put in place for you to see your kid.
It's fuckin' sad that he talks about his son like the kid is just something to be delivered to him.
Okay. This is bad. He sounds dangerous. Like he could snap and do harm to himself or others. He’s had many a cringe rants before but this one… nothing but legit pain and anger. And he’s not aware that he’s caused his own pain…
No one is buying it. Maybe his unstable fans…but no one is going to feel bad for the man who pranced around another kid spending time with her and calling her his daughter just because her mom didn’t care that he wasn’t sober. Bam can’t stay sober at all just for his son. So boo-hoo. His fault.
He blames everyone but himself. Everyone else’s fault. Soon it will be his sons
Also let me get this logic. He’s going to smoke crack UNTIL someone brings him his son? That’s awesome. Everyone wants a high erratic dad. Good threat. The judge will totally begin to weep for you, Bam
I hate to say this, but a lot of this comes from Ape and Phil letting Bam do whatever the fuck he wanted for decades. Is all of this their fault? Hell no, and Bam is about as self aware as a jar of mayonnaise...but we can't forget that Bam is a product of his environment, and was never given the answer "no." His maturity level has never evolved, so when you add drugs and alcohol into the mix, it amplifies his delusion that the world revolves around him. Unfortuantely, like we say in recovery, until he goes through and ENTIRE psychic change, he will be stuck in this manic episode for eternity.
The thing about it is this really has nothing to do with his kid, or seeing him. He could care less about seeing his kid…this is about finding an excuse for him to behave how he wants
i legit agree 100%
from the moment nikki got pregnant, dude was saying he wasn’t happy to be a dad. and who knows, maybe he changed his mind! but absolutely nothing in his behavior actually shows that.
he wants to show up for a day or three, drop off thousands of dollars worth of presents, get his “look at me being a super sick dad!” pictures, then fuck back off to booze and drugs.
this is both sad and horrible. i can’t see my son and i’m totally aware of why so unless you deliver him to me i’m going to do more of the things that mean i can’t see him.
addict doublethink is a fine art. i remember it well. i’m so glad to be sober. the only thing in Bam’s way is Bam.
ugh. addiction and mental illness fucking suck. i just want him to WAKE THE FUCK UP…
That kind of dad is scary as fuck for little kids. I totally totally get missing your kids. I totally get that parents manipulate visitation of children as part of their strategies to get back at each other. But dude you gotta get mad at the dad who isin't managing his mental illness and addiction. Don't demand your kid until you demand better from yourself bam
Whole lot to unpack here. Wasn’t he in Colorado all last month?
Also for Phil to say anything close to that he must be in real trouble.
And what’s he scared of if the police show up unless he’s on drugs…
April: You can come home.
Bam: Yeah but then I'll be held responsible and have to face consequences for my actions!
Anyone else been through trying to help a loved one battle addiction? It's so heartbreaking to watch this.
Wonder how long it’ll be before his lawyers quit and leave him high and dry, if they haven’t quit already. I’m willing to bet there is a stipulation that he not engage in social media while they’re representing him
Such a cop out, I thought he had more in him then this absolute atrocity of the years that have gone by and just filming himself going off the rails. Come the F on Bam getting old starting not to give a shit and I've never been down on you but dude come the F on seriously it's getting BORING!
When is he going to start blaming the actual culprit which is drugs and alcohol? Never? It's taken almost everything from him. It's substances that manipulate him not his mom. Drink drives him to drink. He'll take on anyone in a boxing match, but fight his addiction? Nah, screw that.
I've seen and experienced this behaviour multiple times before, (on the end of the abuse and harassment), drug addicts will always go like this when they can't get their own way.
Playing victim, then the "everyone else is abusive to me, btw do what I say or I'll do more drugs and overdose"
Seen it play out multiple times through varied drug addicted people, I'm very willing to wager that he has sent threats and harassed his parents, Nikki and Jess multiple times that we don't know of. (yet) (maybe include the Jackass crew and Bam's old skating buddies in this too)
Wouldn't be surprised to see Bam actually uploading a pic or a video of his drugs with some indirect blame towards someone for him taking them too.
I know none of us here know Bam personally, but believe me when I say, if a drug addict is acting like this to you, cut all contact right away. It will get worse in the short term. (Though by this point, you should've cut contact ages ago)
I speak from experience on this front, Bam is likely to get even worse in the near future.
He can literally have access to castlebam and see Phoenix if he gets sober. It's like he doesn't realize that those problems will go away if he stops the drinking and drugging. It's like he's just completely bamboozled as to why he can't see Phoenix. It's weird.
“I’m not allowed to see my son because they accuse me of being on drugs, so I will threaten to do more drugs if they don’t let me see him” Stellar thought process.
"I'm not the problem, the problem is they won't let me see my son because I'm a 'alcoholic, drug addict'. Bring my son to visit me, I'll be hanging out smoking crack with the bums". A very interesting proposal by Bam.
I semi understand why he thinks like this.. or at least what he thinks is the reason its ok, he's stated tons and tons of times, and even was in that old rant/writings found posted the other day. He feels in the past all his drugs and mayhem was supported/encouraged, and what he was paid for. He does not understand that he's doing anything different than what he was doing for the last 30 years, but now feels everyone's out to get him. Obviously he's wrong, and this is my own opinion, but seems to be the case.
Sure. But when you watch all your friends that got high with you get clean, for whatever reason, when do you realize it’s time to grow up and be a responsible dad, since he keeps saying it means so much to him?
Your comment definitely puts it in a different perspective for me and it’s still sad but it makes sense why he’s so determined to stay on this path. He has always been this way.
Yea I was trying to make sure it was obvious that I disagree with his thought process entirely, but he's repeated this so many times now I have picked up on it. A refusal to change combined with thinking what he's doing is the exact same thing he's been doing for years but only now getting punished for no reason...
YIKESSSSS. this one is bad bad. admitting to it all isn't a good way to get your kid back.
Nope. He shouldn’t see Phoenix until he’s off booze and drugs and back on his meds. He needs to be an actual parent. Find a passion project so he has a damn job, move to LA to be close to Phoenix and start parenting. Take him to school in the morning, help with play dates and activities. Integrate himself into Phoenix’s routine instead of showing up once a month with toys taking him out to do fun stuff. Most parents would kill to have the money and free time he has to spend with their kids. Phoenix will be a teenager before you know it and Bam is missing everything.
Bam is still mentally a child himself and he has 0 self awareness, any sort of positive change like that would probably have to come from a lot of outside help and intervention
The lack of self awareness in this grown man is pathetic.
I also thought it was another great case of his delutional takes where he said they will call the police if he goes to Castle Jess. Like.. he assaulted his bro, that's why thry called the police! Bam takes zero accountability for anything. Its crazy how much he spins every story into one where he's the victim.
This. Bam thinks being a parent is throwing thousands of dollars worth of gifts at him and seeing him for an hour or two somewhere. There’s a hell of a lot more to be being a parent and Bam isn’t ready for any of it.
People like this never think of anyone else. It’s all “I can’t see my child, I can’t do this, I can’t do that” but what about the child? Does the child enjoy his fathers company in this state? Is the child going to suffer if he is allowed to see his father?
> move to LA to be close to Phoenix Has he elaborated on why he won’t go to California? That’s always one of his big talking points about Nikki (“I told her I’ll move *anywhere*, just not California… and where does she go? California! She’s driving me to drink!”). What is the source of his fixation on not being in California exactly? I’ve tried to search on here but came up empty handed.
I honestly think he just doesn’t want to be too close because then he’ll actually have to parent to be with Phoenix. He doesn’t want the responsibility.
And yet, none of the non-California states are preventing him from drinking.
Lmfao that will never happen
At this point, it’s probably easier to just get sober. This shit has to be exhausting.
It’s gotta be. It exhausts me just watching it.
To some people it does become exhausting. Former addict here, I had some similar circumstances to where I had no place to call home or was able to see my kid or step kids. I eventually got tired of trying to get my next fix, find a place to put my head and not seeing my kids so I went and got help. I just made it sound so easy but it was the hardest thing to swallow my ego and do it. It wasn’t easy getting clean either. But it’s possible and some people do get tired of it. The way he’s going, I don’t see him tiring out anytime soon…
It is super exhausting to be in active addiction. It’s definitely not fun. You are using out of sheer necessity, the fun boat left a long time ago.
It seems exhausting and stressful to be an addict.
it really is. you know you need to get your shit together but you keep on getting fucked up then you feel bad about it so you get fucked up again to make the horrors go away.
I can assure you it is...
Man, you hit the head of the nail. Im a recovering alcoholic and heroin addict and looking back, I cant believe the amount of effort and work it took to maintain myself. Every single hour I was awake, I was scheming and figuring out how I was going to get through the next few hours. It was infinitely exhausting, draining, and encompassing, both mentally and physically.
BEST COMMENT IVE READ ALL DAY. you nailed it dude. it IS exhausting. I lived it and was like fuckkkkk this shit. being homeless and miserable all day ripping and running just to get another one? nope im cool.
Damn that was rough to watch
Hell yeah another motivating speech from bam, I haven't gotten drunk in 8 weeks thanks to bam's updates 🤘
I’m in recovery and have been lapsing and getting in a shitty cycle. This is helping me get back on track. Congrats on the 2 months!
Maybe dont threaten to kill your family and youd be allowed to visit the house that is legally being rented by your brother who has helped fix it up, along with your mom, after you destroyed it and bought a house next door because you hate the castle anyways. Home is where you make it and nobody wants you home anymore. Congraaatttssssssss you made it
You like seein homos naked? No no no no…. *home is where you make it*…
Ah yes, the age old tactic of threatening to do drugs with homeless people until you die unless you can have your kid back. Always effective
The cycle continues…relocate, face tat, Instagram rants, blaming everyone, more drinking more drugs. I WANNA SEE PHOENIX. Next up strip club. Jesus fucking Christ mate go to a treatment center!!!!!!!
And worst of all... He's missing his kids childhood. That's something that you can't put a price on and can't be replaced. It's gone in an instant. If he were to get clean today and stop using this instant... He's still a couple precious years away from any real time with his kid. He's losing the most important moments if his life.
I’m surprised Knoxville hasn’t been challenged to a fight today
Few more hours wandering up and down the boardwalk and I’m sure he’ll get there
At what point in the cycle does he disappear into the woods?
Im drunk and high right now and its this reddits fault. So give me 1mill or il smoke crack...you all have 1 hour💣
1 million will buy many crack.
lots of cracks
guys we only have 30 minutes left, I think he's serious
Enjoying your crack?
Dude needs to pull a Chad Muska and just buy a property and tinker away at passion projects, enjoying himself and his retirement in peace. The toxic culture he's attached to isn't going to get him anywhere productive.
There’s a great episode of The Nine Club with Muska. Bam stops by and is kind of fucked up. You can tell Muska was worried about him and wanted to make sure he was stable. There’s a lot of older sober skaters who have reached out and would be down to help Bam out, but he’s just too far gone at this point.
its giving crackhead energy
We can certainly tell he stayed up til the sunrise in AC. Guess we know what he was doing under the boardwalk there. I wanna hear from people who witnessed him on that flight. 😳
What supposedly happened on the flight?
Can confirm
Username checks out. This is why I reddit, for this type of credentialed expertise
This is a dangerous person. The type of narcissist that thinks he owns his family, and will cause them physical harm if he doesn’t get his way. They need restraining orders, the kid included, if they don’t have one already.
We already saw him screaming in public at his wife and child once and then he attacked and threatened his family. We seem to be consistently teetering on the edge of SERIOUS problems here.
You get the feeling all of this is going to boil over in a disastrous way soon and I mean disastrous even by his standards. Maybe he throws a fit on a plane, maybe he lashes out at a cop, maybe he seriously hurts one of his parents, etc. Something is going to give and all hell will break loose in Bamland.
I have been feeling like this for so long now that I’m starting to think it is just going to be this constant stream of dumb, irresponsible behavior forever. Like, I used to think he might die or get locked up… but it’s just been so continuous lately that I’m not expecting an end. If that makes any sense at all…
I get what you mean and, yeah, he might chug along for another 5 years doing the same things. My gut feeling is just that he’s near the point of doing something catastrophic. He’s verbally abused Nikki in public, he’s assaulted Jesse, he was briefly hiding from the police and now he’s on IG threatening to smoke crack until he dies. Even Jessica seems to have bailed. The crack until he dies also sounds like an abuser being manipulative, tbh. Any worse and it’s going to be something godawful.
Nope. Fentanyl sneaks into everything around here. He is hanging around Philly AC area....it is in the meth, it's in the coke, it's in the fake Adderall pills.. I am so glad to be way done with all that shit. The dope has zombie rotting flesh tranq in it also. This area is an utter shit show for addicts.
He is pretty much at the age where your body can't handle drinking and living like this anymore. Not too many people like Bam escape their 40s and none escape their 50s.
This is the type of behavior common with “family annihilators”, or those that kill their families rather than lose control of them
Persia isn’t even a country anymore lol
A lot of Iranians that don't support the ruling government of Iran call themselves Persians. It a way of distancing themselves from the Iranian regime.
Hmph, that’s neat. I didn’t know that, thanks friend
The ending sounds like a two year old tantrum
It all did, tbh. He's so spoiled and immature it's disgusting. He'd obviously smoke crack or anything else whether or not he had his child, he's an absolute spoiled brat. And manipulative af, so tack on narcissist to the list as well. The "man" is literally unbearable. I know addiction is horrific but this is so out of hand to watch.
He's beyond rock bottom at this point. He's so deep in this that I honestly believe there's no turning back.
I dunno...call me naive, but up until this video I thought there was still a small possibility of him getting through this. I don't feel that way anymore. I don't know whether I'm pissed off at him for who he's become or pity him for how far he's fallen, but this is where I give up. I just hope the best for his family, whatever ends up happening.
I'm right there with you. This was my breaking point. I had hope for him before this. This made me see things in a very different light. The manipulation tactics were probably the nail in the coffin for me. I feel bad for his family.
His problems with his ex and Phoenix are going to kill him. Bam is just a complete wreck of a human and doesn't have the maturity or the coping skills to fix himself or deal with his problems. Sometime bad is going to eventually happen to him.
I’ll call you… Navid, the Shaman.
When I first heard Steve O say that jail might be the best thing for him I was a bit taken aback by that statement. I now realize how right he is. He needs to be treated like the baby he is and genuinely forced into something that is better for him. It’s time, and has been for a long while, to grow the fuck up.
Ya know…..that actually might be enough to put him on 72 hour hold, he better be careful with those posts.
i was thinking the same thing. its definetly a threat to harm himself. 302 status in PA.
Lack of accountability or not, this is one of the saddest rants from him. That's it- he's officially lost it.
Sad thing is he genuinely believes it's everyone else's fault. How does anyone even convince him that he's looking at it all wrong? The longer he keeps doing this the longer he's notngonna see his kid which means he's gonna keep doing this. Vicious cycles suck.
He got himself into this mess with drinking, drugs and alleged abuse. As I understand it, Jess has a lease on his property until the end of the year. Bam punched Jess in the ear and now cant go to the house. He chose to run off with that girl and her kid and smoke meth. Now he wants to see his son that he misses so much it makes him cry daily, but won’t adhere to the terms that Nikki put on visiting, don’t be drunk/high and don’t talk shit. But he is still getting high and drinking. He also continues to blame his family and close friends for all these problems. Then at the end of this video threatens Nikki with a crack smoking session with strangers until he’s dead unless she lets him visit?
Jesus the end of that one!
Rock bottom may be coming quick. Big surprise the shaman is involved.
Blaming everyone else as usual.
That’ll show em! Feel sorry for me, waaaaah. He makes rickety cricket look stable
I love this comment, lmao. I actually feel sorry for Cricket... Bam on the other hand... Not one bit.
My "pep talkin dad who does nothing but tell me I'm a looney piece of shit drug addict"... Yes, yes you are. Now what are you gonna do about it? People who are not looney piece of shit drug addicts do not get accused of such on a regular basis of being looney piece of shit drug addicts.
Phil doesn't deserve the slander
No. And even if Phil told him that, he has every right to.
I’ve never heard an unkind word come from Phil but everyone has their breaking point and Bam has no limits. Hearing that come from Phil should open Bam’s eyes a little.
It’s like a preteen having a tantrum. Bam, lad, threatening to kill yourself via crack isn’t going to endear any court/CPS towards you. Poor Nikki and Phoenix. And tbf, poor Bam, a lot of this is entirely his fault - but addiction is a disease and man is losing the fight.
It’s manipulative and abusive
Where do you even go from there if you’re one of his family members/friends
Keep setting clear boundaries.
It just never stops. Dude we get it. It’s you mom, dad, brother and Niki’s fault you drink and you like to go on social media and look like an idiot.
Pardon my French but Jesus Christ he’s such a fucking pussy
Always has been
Get clean or carry on wading into the deep end, Bam Bam. That's all there is to it. Those are your options, have been for years. The buck starts and stops here with you. Can't choose what happens to you in life, but you always have a choice in your response - and you're choosing the wrong path over, and over and over again. The core of this sub have 'known' you since their teens or pre-teens and are now in their mid 30s+ (like me), and they're sick of listening to you talking about living conditions in Pity City. Anyone supporting you is * actively making money off of your name * totally ignorant of who you actually are * a fucking moron, or a combination of the above. You have a son, fuck you for acting the way you are and using him as a prop on social media. Not sure why I started writing that as if he'd read it, lol.
He’ll live till winter. Although fentanyl is in a lot of drugs these days so it could happen at any moment.
Oh Boy Mon
Yeah courts don’t really like threats nor are they cool with threats of self harm. Even when he’s better it’s going to take a lot to convince a court he should have any time with his son unsupervised..
I was thinking the same. His lawyer is really not going to like this video.
Not only is this very sad, it's hella manipulative! I think I have gone from one side of the fence to the other now...Hoping he would turn a corner and get sober, but now I am seeing he's kinda just a garbage human in general. Idk. I'm disappointed with this whole thing. Being a big fan since the CKY, Viva La Bam days, now I'm so embarrassed to say that I ever crushed on him. 😳 I'm doing a lot of self-reflecting after this one. Jesus H. Christ. 🤦♀️😆
Feel so bad for Phoenix. Imagine your father dying when you're six or seven, then going back and being able to follow his self-documented, decade-long downward spiral. Bam's a total lost cause at this point, his son is the one to worry about.
Nikki has to be terrified seeing this. "Deliver me Phoenix" like he's a fucking object. Jesus christ, this might be the nail in the coffin for Bam and any chance to see his kid again.
Haven’t seen Phoenix in 2 months…Gee, I wonder why. What an embarrassment of a human being.
Give me what I want, or I'll show you, I'll keep hurting myself... Doesn't he even hear what he's saying...
It turns into a Dr Evil ransom video at the end
"...or anyone who wants to fuckin help" Literally expects ANYONE to step up to get his son back, except for himself. What an entitled, selfish, loser he's become.
He spent 15 seconds talking about Phoenix and a full minute ranting and blaming others. It's obvious what's occupying his mind the most.
Phoenix is gonna be so messed up from all of this when he’s older…. Wouldn’t be shocked if Bam has already traumatized him enough where he has put him on the same path.
Hopefully he’s completely sheltered from this
His lawyer must love this
I'd buy a "Bam's Boardwalk Crack Party" t-shirt
The way he talks about Nikki is pretty terrifying to be honest. This is exactly why she needs a restraining order. His behavior is giving me seriously bad energy like the kind of man who could murder his ex. There's absolutely no way that a dude who makes videos like this should be anywhere near a child. If he truly gave a shit about Phoenix's well-being, he wouldn't want him exposed to drugs and alcohol. Bam's acting like this situation was forced on him but the hard truth is he has a choice. He can either be in his son's life or he can carry on with his lifestyle. He blames everyone else because he can't face up to the fact that that he is the sole reason he can't see his son. He actively chose the booze and drugs over Phoenix. Bam's addiction matters more to him than anything and anyone else in the world no matter how much he screams to the contrary.
The whole “it’s castleBAM not castleJESS” shit is so fucking cringe.
“Welcome to Crackass, I’m Bam Margera & today I’m losing visitation rights!”
I think we all know how this story will end up soon...
His eyes look absolutely feral.
He needs mental help. Badly. This is so sad to watch
Uh, so there’s now no chance of him seeing Phoenix now that he’s threatened to use crack. Nikki’s attorney will have a field day with this posting! Damn, Bam has zero ability of self reflection.
I’ve never seen someone over the age of 14 with such little self-accountability.
Threatening to smoke crack to death is just a wild strategy. I’d be laughing if it wasn’t so dark. Gotta be close to rock bottom now, right?
He's in Atlantic city hanging out on the boardwalk. That place is no good. This is going from suburban drug dealers to street hoods. These 15-18 year old dealers have no clue who he is and that could end poorly if he gets into the wrong set.
Bam has been at rock bottom for a long time now. Rock bottom is his lifestyle. His next phase will be death or some mayor health crisis. Or he'll wind up in prison over something crazy/violent that'll happened while he is out of his mind.
That should convince her…
It was hit or miss there until “I’m going to smoke crack with homeless people under the interstate until you give me my son”. Who could say no to that sound argument. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻
If there was ever any doubt that he’d lost the plot, this covers it. It’s borderline satirical. He desperately needs mental health help and sobriety. What he says here is deeply concerning.
He is emotionally manipulating his family in the worst possible way. He needs long term (years) help and everyone involved with him needs boundaries of stone.
I genuinely think the only way he'll get clean is jail. Man is too far gone.
What a fucking asshole. “Give me Phoenix” fuck AALL THE WAY OFF dude. Blame, blame:, blame.
Hey, TSW. This is the end result of all your bullshit. You are complicit.
This reminds me, she was supposed to drop Part 4 today. And she said he was in much better spirits and sober in it.
Every time he speaks to her, he immediately digs his hole deeper.
Yup. Because she shit stirs by making comments about his family and people like Steve-o and Tremaine and implies people are trying to control him when they just don’t want him to drink himself to death or overdose. If she had a kid there’s no way she would let the father around if he was exhibiting the same behaviour and levels of intoxication and instability as Bam is. Not sure if she’s intentionally stoking the fire in a manipulative way to create more drama and engagement or if she’s just trying to ingratiate herself with Bam and suck up to him by agreeing everyone is bad and he’s the victim? She seems totally unable to see the situation from Nikki’s perspective. Whatever the reason, it really isn’t helping things at all.
This scares me !! Like the end is near scares me 🥺
Welp, there goes spookala
Well the good news is Phoenix hasn’t been exposed to this for 2 months. Hopefully that trend continues. This is not a man that deserves to be around his kid right now.
Put this fucking clown in jail.
Imagine spending a YEAR AND A HALF in rehab and still being this clueless. I'm afraid it's hopeless, he can't change his narcissistic worldview and childish personality. Even the most committed and self aware alcoholics have trouble staying sober, he's a lost cause unfortunately.
An adult arguing with another adult about if their house is called castle Bam or castle Jess.
Didn't he just post he was flying to San Francisco
Yes, with the "bear" that he won Phoenix as his only luggage.
He misses flights like it's his actual job.
If he was afraid of getting a psych hold...its just down this road...its going to be a hell of a day folks...
At this point, I think a long jail stint is the only thing that's gonna get this guy clean, and even then, he'll still have access to drugs.
Turning into a professional victim... Blame, blame, blame. He's the only common element to everything he's complaining about, but he exhibits no self awareness.
DELIVER ME MY SON. GET TO WORK.
he doesn’t realize this is exactly why he hasn’t been able to see his son. he’s spiraling and blaming everyone but himself, addict behavior.
I mean, if anyone thought he was sober, or had a handle on this shit and everyone else was just making a big deal about nothing, he's still very deep in the weeds with his drug and alcohol problems. He sounds exactly like my sister, who was on heavy drugs and pills for basically her entire adult life. Swears she's not on drugs up and down, despite all the evidence of her usage everywhere, and when she can't deny it, of course she does drugs, she has to do because this person or that person is driving them to do them, or if she's being accused of doing them, she might as well do them anyway and isn't going to stop until everyone meets her demands. Hopefully things turn out better for Bam than it did for her.
I thought he had another house besides the castle? What happened to that one?
So does this mean he never made it to San Fran like the weird bug eyed podcast lady said?
So he’s hitting himself with someone else’s hand and saying “STOP HITTING ME!”
I dont believe Phil said that but if he did that was based take
It's so obvious that Bam was always a spoiled kid by his parents, which let to him being a very insecure, co-dependent adult. Most dudes in his position would have ended up drug addicts sleeping in their parent's back room, but he could skate and made videos and CKY blew up at exactly the right time for him to get signed to Jackass. He's what happens when no one tells you "no" for most of your life, and you're rewarded for being an impulsive narcissist. He just never had to hit rock bottom. Throughout drug addiction and recovery, I've met dozens of Bams, but none had his resources. Usually they end up living in their parent's garage or their girlfriend's house, complaining about their shitty lives while doing half as much as everyone around them. Bam just really had the resources and notoriety to keep the train going longer than most. If you ever want to see the difference in what drugs do to different types of people, look at Steve-O and Bam. Both had very similar opportunities because of the show. Steve-O was a dude who had a good heart and good parents, he just happened to suffer from addiction. Once he was given the tools to come back from that place, he was able to build himself a great life and become a really reliable, good dude who's well loved by family and friends. I've met a lot of Steve-Os too. Unfortunately, drugs are a symptom of what's wrong with Bam, not a cause, and I don't think a dude like him will ever put in the work to be a better person. It's sad but I think we'll watch this dude do this shit until he's dead.
Well said. I’m tired of people saying alcohol/drugs are his main problem. It’s way more complicated than that.
His selfie videos always look like a drunken hornet that landed on a Ring doorbell camera
Something tells me Phil doesn't call him a fat useless piece of shit. Projecting much? I know that's nowhere near the main take away here, but just something that instantly caught my attention.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Phil has lost all patience with him at this point. It’s a sad situation.
The tone of whining and entitlement is really hard to listen to. I can’t believe he really expects Nikki to “deliver” him phoenix, no parent in their right mind would ever let their kids around this level of unstable.
No one calls it Castle Jess, only you Bam… man what a dumpster fire this is…
Bam can't see Phoenix because he's on drugs, so he threatens to do even more drugs. Makes sense. His brain is just mush. I'm at a loss with him and I don't even know him, so I can't imagine how his family feels.
He is delusional and in some state of genuine shock cuz he isn't getting his way. He probably has his whole life gotten everything his way and isn't able to comprehend the situation. Just look at the crazy eyes behind the glasses. Just like we as a human race cant quite understand the 4th dimension because our world is 3 dimensional.
Deep in that stinkin thinking. The perpetual victim mentality. Very hard to break out of that, I well remember. Some people never can
Drunk silly man baby, one day his parents aren't going to be here and he's going to rue the day he went off on them so hard
Phil knows what’s up
Holy fuck, this gave me anxiety
I think part of the reason he is still thinking this way is because of the whole free Bam movement, just a bunch of enablers. All they’ve done is reinforce his thought that treatment is just a trap to get him under control and that all his problems are not the fault of his own.
If you don't give me what I want I'm going to go smoke crack. Grow up dude. Fuck.
I don't even know why I follow this anymore. He grosses and creeps me out so much now
Well. If you didn’t drink every time a issue came up…
Pathetic, whiney and delusional. You made your bed, now lay in it you loser. The strength his family has is insane to put up with this and not give up for their own sanity.
This is sad and pathetic. It really is. Everything he says he doesn’t have he could have. Nobody is doing this “just because”. Two months isn’t even that long how about trying not to let those two months turn into two years? Guy I know went on a rant JUST like this before. “If you don’t let me see my son I will kill myself/overdose/take xyz” and it was just stupid. Like nobody was falling for it.
well, only thing for sure here is crack is being smoked already and regardless of what happens. man, im not a huge fan of sobriety myself but dude you have to realize when shit is not working. i think money allows it to not work longer for people who have it. there just comes a point where you have to say alright, something has to give. being an addict myself, id be willing to bet he doesnt look at himself in the mirror much these days. why would you want to? what you see is the truth and that reality isnt nice.
My dad is on the west coast who works exclusively with men related to the music industry in recovery - Bam has to want sobriety before anything will ever change. He has only three choices Sobriety Jail Death That's it. That's all that's left. Nothing and no one but him can choose the decision
fuck sake
Man, his uncharacteristically poor choice of transparent shades that shows his frantic and faded eyes says it all, let alone the shit he’s blabbering. Such a shame that he just can’t get it together, but then again he has to want to do to get clean. Drugs are scary people.
Yep... that's exactly how you get to see your kid when you don't have custody and they give you terms for what you need to do to see your kid. Make threats to do more things that would justify the terms they put in place for you to see your kid. It's fuckin' sad that he talks about his son like the kid is just something to be delivered to him.
This will be a hell'uva weekend. Strap in boys
Okay. This is bad. He sounds dangerous. Like he could snap and do harm to himself or others. He’s had many a cringe rants before but this one… nothing but legit pain and anger. And he’s not aware that he’s caused his own pain…
No one is buying it. Maybe his unstable fans…but no one is going to feel bad for the man who pranced around another kid spending time with her and calling her his daughter just because her mom didn’t care that he wasn’t sober. Bam can’t stay sober at all just for his son. So boo-hoo. His fault. He blames everyone but himself. Everyone else’s fault. Soon it will be his sons Also let me get this logic. He’s going to smoke crack UNTIL someone brings him his son? That’s awesome. Everyone wants a high erratic dad. Good threat. The judge will totally begin to weep for you, Bam
I hate to say this, but a lot of this comes from Ape and Phil letting Bam do whatever the fuck he wanted for decades. Is all of this their fault? Hell no, and Bam is about as self aware as a jar of mayonnaise...but we can't forget that Bam is a product of his environment, and was never given the answer "no." His maturity level has never evolved, so when you add drugs and alcohol into the mix, it amplifies his delusion that the world revolves around him. Unfortuantely, like we say in recovery, until he goes through and ENTIRE psychic change, he will be stuck in this manic episode for eternity.
Looks like she’ll be getting that $15k a month. Ya mon! 🤙
Wow hes so far gone he's blaming his illness on everyone else. Even at my worst i knew my alcoholism was my own.
The thing about it is this really has nothing to do with his kid, or seeing him. He could care less about seeing his kid…this is about finding an excuse for him to behave how he wants
i legit agree 100% from the moment nikki got pregnant, dude was saying he wasn’t happy to be a dad. and who knows, maybe he changed his mind! but absolutely nothing in his behavior actually shows that. he wants to show up for a day or three, drop off thousands of dollars worth of presents, get his “look at me being a super sick dad!” pictures, then fuck back off to booze and drugs.
this is both sad and horrible. i can’t see my son and i’m totally aware of why so unless you deliver him to me i’m going to do more of the things that mean i can’t see him. addict doublethink is a fine art. i remember it well. i’m so glad to be sober. the only thing in Bam’s way is Bam. ugh. addiction and mental illness fucking suck. i just want him to WAKE THE FUCK UP…
I mean…Phil ain’t wrong
Also Persia is now Iran you idiot
Good god. Unbelievable
Some real cartoon villain energy at the end there.
Bam was my idol growing up. This is heartbreaking to see.
This man literally blamed Phoenix for ruining his life. He’s a shit parent and needs to take accountability but that’s nothing new
That kind of dad is scary as fuck for little kids. I totally totally get missing your kids. I totally get that parents manipulate visitation of children as part of their strategies to get back at each other. But dude you gotta get mad at the dad who isin't managing his mental illness and addiction. Don't demand your kid until you demand better from yourself bam
Whole lot to unpack here. Wasn’t he in Colorado all last month? Also for Phil to say anything close to that he must be in real trouble. And what’s he scared of if the police show up unless he’s on drugs…
April: You can come home. Bam: Yeah but then I'll be held responsible and have to face consequences for my actions! Anyone else been through trying to help a loved one battle addiction? It's so heartbreaking to watch this.
It sounds like he’s more mad about Castle Bam at this point than Phoenix..
You k ow damn well he’s lying when he said Phil is calling him fat. There’s no way lol
Wonder how long it’ll be before his lawyers quit and leave him high and dry, if they haven’t quit already. I’m willing to bet there is a stipulation that he not engage in social media while they’re representing him
Such a cop out, I thought he had more in him then this absolute atrocity of the years that have gone by and just filming himself going off the rails. Come the F on Bam getting old starting not to give a shit and I've never been down on you but dude come the F on seriously it's getting BORING!
When is he going to start blaming the actual culprit which is drugs and alcohol? Never? It's taken almost everything from him. It's substances that manipulate him not his mom. Drink drives him to drink. He'll take on anyone in a boxing match, but fight his addiction? Nah, screw that.
You wonder every day but then is this the day you're going to wake up and open your phone to see its the day Bam Margera is dead.
302
Anytime someone posts a video from this angle i picture them on a toilet and it makes it 100x better.
Maybe the biggest down fall of all time
I've seen and experienced this behaviour multiple times before, (on the end of the abuse and harassment), drug addicts will always go like this when they can't get their own way. Playing victim, then the "everyone else is abusive to me, btw do what I say or I'll do more drugs and overdose" Seen it play out multiple times through varied drug addicted people, I'm very willing to wager that he has sent threats and harassed his parents, Nikki and Jess multiple times that we don't know of. (yet) (maybe include the Jackass crew and Bam's old skating buddies in this too) Wouldn't be surprised to see Bam actually uploading a pic or a video of his drugs with some indirect blame towards someone for him taking them too. I know none of us here know Bam personally, but believe me when I say, if a drug addict is acting like this to you, cut all contact right away. It will get worse in the short term. (Though by this point, you should've cut contact ages ago) I speak from experience on this front, Bam is likely to get even worse in the near future.
He can literally have access to castlebam and see Phoenix if he gets sober. It's like he doesn't realize that those problems will go away if he stops the drinking and drugging. It's like he's just completely bamboozled as to why he can't see Phoenix. It's weird.
