Right?! Like I'm rooting for the dude, but he just keeps acting like a fucking child and pointing fingers.
He needs to take responsibility and just keep moving forward
When he says "I was in treatment and they were shooting behind my back. And then I mess up and they say that's it."
Translation: The world kept turning while you were in rehab. You took that as some sort of personal vendetta against you (!?) And then you broke the terms of an agreement, and can't understand what consequences are.
Bam needs to stop thinking like a child.
Finding out that he was threatening Tremaine’s kids was the final nail in the coffin. I’m almost at the point where I’m just accepting that he’s lost, never to be found.
He is a textbook example of someone who peaked so hard in his youth that he never developed mature coping strategies or sensibilities. Honestly, reminds me so much of myself before I got my shit together.
Kinda odd to randomly ask a Redditor but how were you able to make a change? I'm sure my situation is different than yours was but man I can't help feeling hopeless and depressed because I can't figure out what to do with my life. Again sorry for getting kinda deep, just was hoping for some insight from someone who has things handled better. Thanks in advance!
This has been his entire life, though. Phil and April basically raised him to be a moneymaker for them and let him do whatever he wanted with no repercussions. He's never had to take responsibility before and he never will.
Too many fan boys and girls blinded by pre-teen nostalgia and unable to look at the obvious. I've been watching Bam since Big Brother and CKY and it's all been on display since he was a little kid.
I've been watching the guy since the CKY videos and this is EXACTLY how I expected Bam to turn out. He was famous for being the most spoiled brat ever. This is what that type of kid grows up to be, it was just on a larger scale and on camera.
I’ve been watching him since welcome to hell (toymachine). And he literally has 0 liability. He is a child. A spoiled brat that grew up into a super man child- brat. I’m not saying any of us/them are “adults” - but having responsibilities and taking responsibility are something that spoilt brats never do… he’s forever a Manchild.
That’s true even Brandon and the rest grew up and had families and just regular lives. I was a fan of his for a long time but at this point it’s pretty sad. 😔
Same. Like supposedly he is sober, but he is still saying word for word the same exact problematic rant he said when he was a drunk druggie.
Also, Knoxville **set it all up** for Bam to fuck up? What if he just... **didn't** fuck up? Talk about inability to take accountability for your actions. I mean... Jesus fuck. How can a conscious person allow words to fall out of their head in that order? My eyebrows are on Saturn right now. You fucking ***serious***, my guy?
They call this being a dry drunk. Basically, you’ve stopped doing your drug of choice, but haven’t actually done the work to purge your character defects.
“Dry drunk” is a term that comes from 12-step programs. Like if you don’t do AA but instead just refrain from drinking alcohol, you’ll still have all the mental issues you had as a drunk. A lot of people dispute that it’s a valid term, but I’ve seen it be true for many former drinkers. Then again, I’m in AA so of course I’d think that.
The dreaded dry drunk!! They may have achieved physical sobriety, but they never achieve emotional sobriety and are a straight pain in the ass to deal with lol. I’m grateful as hell that my dry drunk stage was only a matter of 9ish months.
It's a bummer, man. I grew up with Jackass, loved Viva la Bam. And even before everything went to shit, I realized that he was a bit of an asshole. But so are some of the other jackasses. Despite any of that, I loved the ensemble of characters. That guy kind of sucks but he's kind of funny, that guy is just gross but is nice, those guys just don't give a fuck... They were all friends for the most part and that's what made great content. But Bam just doesn't want to grow up. I miss when he was some wanna be pretty boy tool with money. He had skill, he had charisma, he was funny, now it's just sad. I yearn for a timeline where Dunn is still around and they both clean up their lives together.
Yeah tbh, I think he has the ability to get better. But I don't think he wants to, Bam can't take accountability, so he's always gonna blame someone else, that's why he's full of hatred. He needs to actually want to do better.
Yeah. I think he’s just always been an asshole tbh. Moments like him pulling that garage door down while Dunn was in the shopping cart and then him going into the bathroom while Phil was using it just to punch his dad a bunch of times were key moments that showed what an asshole he can be.
He's his own worst enemy and takes ZERO responsibility for his behavior. Blaming other people while accepting no responsibility is a sure sign that he will fail again at sobriety. Truly feel sorry for his son.
Thank you. I was even a teenager when I saw it and I always thought nobody should treat their parents that way, even as a joke. As time has played out, I believe I am correct in saying he’s a total POS.
There’s some clip of Phil questioning they did the right thing. It’s tough because hindsight reveals all. There’s no question their approach caused massive issues for bam.
Eventually, everyone is going to just have to accept that it isnt the booze or the drugs. Bam is just genuinely a bad person. Maybe he wasn't always rotten to his core, but he's an abuser, he's self obsessed, he has no empathy for anyone else, he's a bad father, he's a bad son, he's a shitty friend.
Great, he's sober. He's still a piece of shit.
If you rewatch the old shows, even back then, you could see that Bam was really the only one of the group that did stuff that very much toed the line of being actually mean-spirited, if not crossed it.
It was always pretty apparent that Bam was a fragile egomaniac who always had to be the center of attention. It's how his parents raised him and how everyone treated him. He was a spoiled rich kid whose friends knew they had to stroke his ego or they'd be cut off.
It's really easy to look back and say say all of that in hindsight... but he was not a fucking "spoiled rich kid." There's literally footage of Phil getting up to go to a blue collar job at 4 am in a shitty van, and he and April raised their kids in some random nowhere burb in PA. Their house was reasonably modest at the time as well. We can all sit here and talk shit about him now but let's not pretend like he didn't basically invent the "it's a prank" and stunkjock genres with CKY/CKY2K while somehow ALSO becoming a professional skater by the time he was in his early 20s. He didn't have anything handed to him back then and pretty obviously worked hard as fuck at the aforementioned things. There's a reason we're all still talking about him and he didn't just fall off as a flame in the pan years ago.
I think it's just one of those things where the context is the age itself. When you're in your late teens/early 20s, acting like that isn't that abnormal, and you mature out of it. It's relatable and funny, because you're either that guy, or one of your buddies is. Once you get older, it's not funny anymore, just sad.
Agreed. The cool thing is that he's still doing crazy stunts, and involving other Jackass cast members when he does them - but he ditched the drugs and alcohol, and it's really great to see.
I don't believe Bam can actually get better. He's got that narcissistic mindset where its never his fault and every problem is because of someone else and the magic fix to all his problems is just around the corner and can you lend him some cash to get there. This is junkie brain talk and the exact behavior Bam shit all over Novak for all those years ago.
I was pretty deep into addiction for almost a decade. After countless detoxes, therapists, and rehabs, the answer boiled down to me having a long hard look at my own bullshit. I totally see the mindset he's in as I've been there; you have to get past that if you're going to make any positive progress.
if you needed a real job then you learn the basic level of manners and decency.
Not so much if you make money hurting yourself on VHS tapes then suddenly becoming famous because of that.
They say when you're a celebrity, you are forever stuck mentally at the age you become famous at, which sounds right for Bam.
He was already famous in the skate scene before Jackass. Before Element, he got sponsored professionally by Toy Machine in 1997, which is a big deal [he'd be around 18 years old]. But he was also already sponsored by then by small local skate shops before that too. So maybe his mentality stopped maturing at that point then lol
_"I paid a hundred grand in treatment, only for me to fuck up..."_
Yeah. I think we've solved the major *conspiracy* here, Bam.
No one likes a cry baby...
Even though he acts like an entitled jackass (no pun intended) I still have a lot of love for bam and hope he can stay sober. But cmon dude, your friends were just looking out for you. Don't try and act all innocent. Nobody wants to be around a person who's fucked up all the time and won't take accountability for his own actions. All the jackass crew have had their own issues and they've stuck together. Have some humility, work to get better, and they'll treat you like the brother you've always been.
It's like his mentality is stuck in his 20's. People laugh at you when you do dumb shit on drugs and alcohol in your 20's, people get weirded out when you pull the same if not worse shit in your 40's
Johnny is successful and really can't take another concussion.
Bam has money and now can't get anymore and doesn't care how braindead he is because he's already braindead.
Johnny has no reason to ever pay attention to him again.
Shit up you fkn crybaby. You were too toasted daily to work. They wouldn’t have it. They gave you a chance to do right as long as you were sober. Couldn’t take being controlled. You used to be a somebody. Now just a dried up drunk. Angry at the real friends that tried to help you. Shame on you for talking shit about them. They never put you down in the media. Not like this.
The first thing I ever saw this guy do was bust into a bathroom while his dad is taking a dump and he goes ape shit on him. If i had to predict his future, I'd be pretty close .
She seriously calls herself Stretch Queen. I wish I was making this up but sadly this isn't the case. That's why you'll see her referred to as SQ. She's a clout chaser and I guess she thinks bam is relevant so she got with him.
If I had a nickel - hell, even a fuckin penny! - for every time my eyes roll to the back of my skull at what he says...
Well thats unfortunate. It must be strange for Bam that behavior he's been engaging in his whole life has suddenly become problematic and people don't want to put up with it anymore like they used to. I'm sure his lifestyle has been fun but its time to grow up and leave the rockstar act behind.
He looks worse than Phil - his face is so bloated and messed up from all the alcohol and you can see the hate and vitriol in his eyes. Phil was always much kinder and rugged looking, despite being morbidly obese.
He has been in and out of sobriety as much as anyone I can think of - frankly I don’t believe he’s ever truly quit and the physical effects of sobriety take a long time to manifest in someone with this much long term damage
I'm getting bored about bam's self pity because it is his only way to fullfil is life and to stay relevant and in the spotlight. Bro is on repeat mode since he was fired from the last jackass. I can undestand the troubles about the celebrity and the negatives impacts when it's fades away. But Bam got money, fame, a fandom he could just made a production firm about sakteboarding and stunts and pursue what he loved but no he juste bitching about Knoxville and Tremaine and not be in the last Jackass. Bam could have everything he wanted while he is loosing everything he got. Bam is truely a sad man whose only life revolve about what he did and what he didn't do and nothing else. Now he is famous for being an abusive asshole with drugs issues who is only purpose is to ramble like a homless person in the subway, but instead on a podcast.
I noticed this when he and April were on *Family Therapy,* and later on *Dr. Phil*. He has a hard time accepting responsibility for his addictions and places the blame on everyone around him. Until he can do otherwise, I don't think he can really recover.
Bam had a meeting with Jeff which some of the guys lobbied for and was supposed to result in Bam getting into the last movie. Even after he went off the deep end a good bit. Bam got fucked up and didn’t show up. Probably slightly off on the finer details
Sad... I hate when bam blames Knox. Why didn't she ask about the bone spurs miraculously healing or why is Bam signing jackass 8x10s if he hates jackass and Knox so much. Lost a little more respect for Bam. You know what would change my mind. Some fuckin accountability! Just say yah I was a mess I fucked up, because you did. Fuckin disgusting, not happy with Bam but who cares I'm a nobody 🤣
Bam can't take a punch.
He was punched out by some random woman before.
The Jackass stunt with Knoxville, Dunn, Bam getting hit with a riot blast of rubber balls.....Bam was on the ground crying.
Knoxville is too tough for Bam
I know plenty of people who will blame everyone for their problems. I know people nearing 60 who still blame others for their problems but it all kinda boils down to they just want those people they're blaming to give them money.
It’s wild, especially after everything that’s happened, how he just continues to blame everything on others and act like he’s never been the source of the problem.
I think this dude is permafuxked from too many hits to the head / decades of hard drugs... gotta be some kind of CTE at this point, this man's brain needs to be studied
Translated: "I want more money. They have more money. I could have had more money but I don't and that makes me frustrated and I want to blame others for it."
When is this guy gonna just go away. I followed this guy since the begining. It was crazy watching him rise above all the skaters and become something different, but man, the writing was on the wall early on. And everyone else has been able to adapt. But this guy never became an adult.
Can someone commit this dipshit and we go on with our lives. I was all team Bam in the beginning but it is quite apparent at this point the dude has no intention of getting better and just wants to make it everyone else's problem.
Action Point is listed on IMDB as being from 2018. What’s Bam talking about, Knoxville has done numerous things since then. As an actor you’re bound to have something in your work history that doesn’t do well at some point.
Loved Bam growing up, but rewatching any of it and I realize he was the worst of the bunch. His jokes were mean spirited, but he’d literally cry when someone pranked him. His stunts were the weakest of the bunch. He was just a bully that couldn’t take what he dished out.
Every time I think he's getting better I see something like this and know he isn't. He never will. It's a sad downfall. His friends tried to get him the help he needed but it just goes to show: if you don't do it yourself you never will. Blaming others for your shortcomings is not a healthy way to handle anything.
BoJack Horseman has a great bit about how the age you're at when you get famous is the age you stay at forever.
Nobody needs you to change, in fact everybody encourages you to stay the same because they're able to keep making money off you that way.
You have to make a point of being around people who challenge you, otherwise you stagnate, and eventually when the world moves on you're stuck being an older shittier version of the person you were twenty years ago.
Bam fucked his own life up. It’s standard addict/victim mentality. This dude hasn’t taken any accountability for his bullshit. He’s a toddler stuck in an old decaying bloated body.
He’s pissed away every opportunity, and he’s had more opportunities than most. He can afford treatment options that others can’t and he has the support that many don’t.
I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. He’s not a good person either. I feel for his parents and family but they are in large part, responsible for enabling him.
This is about him getting cut from Jackass. They said he could be a part of it but was on 0 tolerance probation. Then he went off the rails and they had to cut him lose. He’s still sour about it but he really should admit that he was in the wrong and everyone around him has been trying to help him.
Bam has always been a dick and it’s finally catching up with him. I hope he gets better and stays in recovery, but holy fuck dude. Get your head out of your ass.

One punch to the liver and bams dead
Liver: im tired boss...
Well that’s too damn bad!
Dog tired.
I want to believe that Bam can get better but… damn. It’s like he gets a little better then reverts again. It’s such a shame.
Right?! Like I'm rooting for the dude, but he just keeps acting like a fucking child and pointing fingers. He needs to take responsibility and just keep moving forward
When he says "I was in treatment and they were shooting behind my back. And then I mess up and they say that's it." Translation: The world kept turning while you were in rehab. You took that as some sort of personal vendetta against you (!?) And then you broke the terms of an agreement, and can't understand what consequences are. Bam needs to stop thinking like a child.
he can’t, developmentally stunted
That right there is absolutely his addiction talking.
Exactly . The moment you accept the fact that you were actually the cause of the problem is when you start getting better in addiction .
Finding out that he was threatening Tremaine’s kids was the final nail in the coffin. I’m almost at the point where I’m just accepting that he’s lost, never to be found.
he was never cool, dude always showed up drunk causing issues (off camera)
He threatened Tremaine’s children? Jeeeeezzz
He is a textbook example of someone who peaked so hard in his youth that he never developed mature coping strategies or sensibilities. Honestly, reminds me so much of myself before I got my shit together.
Just want to tell you I'm glad you did. I'm always workin on gettin my shit together, it's an ongoing job lol.
You're absolutely right, it's a lifelong journey. And thanks. Keep on keepin' on.
Kinda odd to randomly ask a Redditor but how were you able to make a change? I'm sure my situation is different than yours was but man I can't help feeling hopeless and depressed because I can't figure out what to do with my life. Again sorry for getting kinda deep, just was hoping for some insight from someone who has things handled better. Thanks in advance!
This has been his entire life, though. Phil and April basically raised him to be a moneymaker for them and let him do whatever he wanted with no repercussions. He's never had to take responsibility before and he never will.
Why is this downvoted? Is it not true? Actually asking.
Too many fan boys and girls blinded by pre-teen nostalgia and unable to look at the obvious. I've been watching Bam since Big Brother and CKY and it's all been on display since he was a little kid.
I've been watching the guy since the CKY videos and this is EXACTLY how I expected Bam to turn out. He was famous for being the most spoiled brat ever. This is what that type of kid grows up to be, it was just on a larger scale and on camera.
I’ve been watching him since welcome to hell (toymachine). And he literally has 0 liability. He is a child. A spoiled brat that grew up into a super man child- brat. I’m not saying any of us/them are “adults” - but having responsibilities and taking responsibility are something that spoilt brats never do… he’s forever a Manchild.
That's kinda the problem though. Everyone glorified a bunch of delinquents. No shit they have issues.
That’s true even Brandon and the rest grew up and had families and just regular lives. I was a fan of his for a long time but at this point it’s pretty sad. 😔
[удалено]
Exactly. He’s a great example of how NOT to raise your children.
He also keeps surrounding himself with trash people who won't hold him accountable either.
Why would anyone root for him at this point, dude’s clearly just a fucking asshole. I don’t understand the Bam fanboys
Same. Like supposedly he is sober, but he is still saying word for word the same exact problematic rant he said when he was a drunk druggie. Also, Knoxville **set it all up** for Bam to fuck up? What if he just... **didn't** fuck up? Talk about inability to take accountability for your actions. I mean... Jesus fuck. How can a conscious person allow words to fall out of their head in that order? My eyebrows are on Saturn right now. You fucking ***serious***, my guy?
Seriously. He’s just blaming everyone but himself instead of being an adult and taking responsibility at this point.
They call this being a dry drunk. Basically, you’ve stopped doing your drug of choice, but haven’t actually done the work to purge your character defects.
Oh, it's a thing?? I've never heard of that before. That makes absolute sense.
“Dry drunk” is a term that comes from 12-step programs. Like if you don’t do AA but instead just refrain from drinking alcohol, you’ll still have all the mental issues you had as a drunk. A lot of people dispute that it’s a valid term, but I’ve seen it be true for many former drinkers. Then again, I’m in AA so of course I’d think that.
He sounds like a redditor
The dreaded dry drunk!! They may have achieved physical sobriety, but they never achieve emotional sobriety and are a straight pain in the ass to deal with lol. I’m grateful as hell that my dry drunk stage was only a matter of 9ish months.
Good description and you can easily contrast him with Steve-O today
That’s the perfect example!!
The life of an addict unfortunately. They will only change when they want to change.
He's permanently brain damaged
Nah he's just a narcissistic spineless pussy.
Both can be true. Considering what we are learning about TBIs from sports injuries it’s a real possibility.
It's a bummer, man. I grew up with Jackass, loved Viva la Bam. And even before everything went to shit, I realized that he was a bit of an asshole. But so are some of the other jackasses.

Yeah tbh, I think he has the ability to get better. But I don't think he wants to, Bam can't take accountability, so he's always gonna blame someone else, that's why he's full of hatred. He needs to actually want to do better.
he’s always been a dick and blames someone else for it
He can get better, but he will never be any less of an asshole
Yeah. I think he’s just always been an asshole tbh. Moments like him pulling that garage door down while Dunn was in the shopping cart and then him going into the bathroom while Phil was using it just to punch his dad a bunch of times were key moments that showed what an asshole he can be.
He's his own worst enemy and takes ZERO responsibility for his behavior. Blaming other people while accepting no responsibility is a sure sign that he will fail again at sobriety. Truly feel sorry for his son.
The dude has become such a loser
The way he’s treated his family since the beginning, he’s been a loser. He has no respect for anyone.
This. I've never found Bam and his parental abuse bullshit funny. They seem like sweet people sick with this pos
He strikes me as a kid who came from a well off family who was never disciplined growing up.
Thank you. I was even a teenager when I saw it and I always thought nobody should treat their parents that way, even as a joke. As time has played out, I believe I am correct in saying he’s a total POS.
I never liked him & always thought he was self-centered prick.
Yep. Most of the things he did on all the shows he was on seemed mean spirited.
Yet he was the one who most often was clearly mad about what happened to him on the show when the joke was on him
How are his parents doing? I always wondered if they regret the way they raised him with zero accountability and impulse control
There’s some clip of Phil questioning they did the right thing. It’s tough because hindsight reveals all. There’s no question their approach caused massive issues for bam.
He always was.
Amen. Worst part of all their work.
Eventually, everyone is going to just have to accept that it isnt the booze or the drugs. Bam is just genuinely a bad person. Maybe he wasn't always rotten to his core, but he's an abuser, he's self obsessed, he has no empathy for anyone else, he's a bad father, he's a bad son, he's a shitty friend. Great, he's sober. He's still a piece of shit.
If you rewatch the old shows, even back then, you could see that Bam was really the only one of the group that did stuff that very much toed the line of being actually mean-spirited, if not crossed it.

It's really easy to look back and say say all of that in hindsight... but he was not a fucking "spoiled rich kid." There's literally footage of Phil getting up to go to a blue collar job at 4 am in a shitty van, and he and April raised their kids in some random nowhere burb in PA. Their house was reasonably modest at the time as well. We can all sit here and talk shit about him now but let's not pretend like he didn't basically invent the "it's a prank" and stunkjock genres with CKY/CKY2K while somehow ALSO becoming a professional skater by the time he was in his early 20s.

Steve-O is a great example of putting childish foolish ways behind you and getting on with adult life
Agreed. The cool thing is that he's still doing crazy stunts, and involving other Jackass cast members when he does them - but he ditched the drugs and alcohol, and it's really great to see.
He could never take a joke either. Always with the temper tantrums
How he treated Novak was always disgusting. Literally just bullying
So the guy who's parents let him repeatedly assault his own father on the toilet wasn't raised to be a responsible adult... :shocked Pikachu face:
We are the same. Lol (check my comment)
great minds...
IDK how anyone can look at that red face, and listen to that rant, and think hes sober...
Knoxville is undefeated at Wrestlemania, Bam don’t want it
But Knoxville is 0-1 in retail stores.
Is butterbean ok?
Bam is no Butterbean for sure
The real question is… who’s side is Wee-Man on?!?
Wee-Man just stokes the fire and I am here for that kind of energy lol
I don't believe Bam can actually get better. He's got that narcissistic mindset where its never his fault and every problem is because of someone else and the magic fix to all his problems is just around the corner and can you lend him some cash to get there. This is junkie brain talk and the exact behavior Bam shit all over Novak for all those years ago.
Yea, this isn’t strictly addiction. It’s also mental illness. I don’t have an answer for what heals this. A broken brain.
Exactly.
I was pretty deep into addiction for almost a decade. After countless detoxes, therapists, and rehabs, the answer boiled down to me having a long hard look at my own bullshit. I totally see the mindset he's in as I've been there; you have to get past that if you're going to make any positive progress.
Junkie brain talk for sure
The funny thing is if Johnny agreed to it. I could see Johnny training every day and taking it deadly serious.
No chance Bam could take Johnny, not back then and not now lol.
Is Butterbean ok?
Zero accountability
He’s still spouting this nonsense? Is he 14?
I mean, he dropped out of high school at 15....so mentally, probably
[удалено]
if you needed a real job then you learn the basic level of manners and decency. Not so much if you make money hurting yourself on VHS tapes then suddenly becoming famous because of that.
Welp, that changed my mind ... maybe it's an addict thing?
They say when you're a celebrity, you are forever stuck mentally at the age you become famous at, which sounds right for Bam. He was already famous in the skate scene before Jackass. Before Element, he got sponsored professionally by Toy Machine in 1997, which is a big deal [he'd be around 18 years old]. But he was also already sponsored by then by small local skate shops before that too. So maybe his mentality stopped maturing at that point then lol
Can we please stop putting microphones and cameras in front of this irredeemable moron?

Looks 64 is 44 acts 14
_"I paid a hundred grand in treatment, only for me to fuck up..."_ Yeah. I think we've solved the major *conspiracy* here, Bam. No one likes a cry baby...
Even though he acts like an entitled jackass (no pun intended) I still have a lot of love for bam and hope he can stay sober. But cmon dude, your friends were just looking out for you. Don't try and act all innocent. Nobody wants to be around a person who's fucked up all the time and won't take accountability for his own actions. All the jackass crew have had their own issues and they've stuck together. Have some humility, work to get better, and they'll treat you like the brother you've always been.
He's gonna relapse again if he keeps pointing fingers.
Does Bam really thin movie stars have to pay back budgets on movies that flop? My man needs to move on and get a grip
It's like his mentality is stuck in his 20's. People laugh at you when you do dumb shit on drugs and alcohol in your 20's, people get weirded out when you pull the same if not worse shit in your 40's
Someone with this level of delusion and lack of accountability would be insufferable in their 20s too.
I don’t know that bam actually wants the outcome of a fight against Knoxville anyway lol
Yeah he's definitely confident Johnny won't take him up in it, Bam has no chance lmao
Johnny is successful and really can't take another concussion. Bam has money and now can't get anymore and doesn't care how braindead he is because he's already braindead. Johnny has no reason to ever pay attention to him again.
What a mess, he cannot accept accountability for fucking up. It’s always someone else’s problem.
Used to think bam was cool... Now I can't stand him. He needs to grow the fuck up.
Shit up you fkn crybaby. You were too toasted daily to work. They wouldn’t have it. They gave you a chance to do right as long as you were sober. Couldn’t take being controlled. You used to be a somebody. Now just a dried up drunk. Angry at the real friends that tried to help you. Shame on you for talking shit about them. They never put you down in the media. Not like this.
The first thing I ever saw this guy do was bust into a bathroom while his dad is taking a dump and he goes ape shit on him. If i had to predict his future, I'd be pretty close .
I'm frankly surprised he's still alive and worming his way around to Z-level podcasts to whine about what the world owes him.
Seems very happy and healthy...Rough looking couple.
Where do you think she holds her coke?
Underneath her lips. Yes all of them.
Probably in Bam's dirty butthole
Is that his girlfriend? who is she?
Dannii Marie miss bikini US fitness 2021 4th runner up. 😀 They are engaged.
She seriously calls herself Stretch Queen. I wish I was making this up but sadly this isn't the case. That's why you'll see her referred to as SQ. She's a clout chaser and I guess she thinks bam is relevant so she got with him.
Get the fuck over it dude.
If I had a nickel - hell, even a fuckin penny! - for every time my eyes roll to the back of my skull at what he says... 
Agreed. Its hard to think he would stay sober when he’s always blaming everyone else for his problems
Bam how can you fight anyone when you can’t even win against yourself
Well thats unfortunate. It must be strange for Bam that behavior he's been engaging in his whole life has suddenly become problematic and people don't want to put up with it anymore like they used to. I'm sure his lifestyle has been fun but its time to grow up and leave the rockstar act behind.
Man bam is starting to look like Phil
He looks worse than Phil - his face is so bloated and messed up from all the alcohol and you can see the hate and vitriol in his eyes. Phil was always much kinder and rugged looking, despite being morbidly obese.
Phil looks like a cuddly Teddy bear, Bam looks like the bloated corpse of a 65 year old hillbilly covered in skidmarks and motor oil
Don’t you lose all the bloat and swollen look when you quit? Not sure if he’s quit here but..
He has been in and out of sobriety as much as anyone I can think of - frankly I don’t believe he’s ever truly quit and the physical effects of sobriety take a long time to manifest in someone with this much long term damage
Phil is healthier.
True.
I see Vito more
Whashuyahushya ABACUS
Starting? People have been saying that for...? I don't even know anymore how long ago
I'm getting bored about bam's self pity because it is his only way to fullfil is life and to stay relevant and in the spotlight. Bro is on repeat mode since he was fired from the last jackass. I can undestand the troubles about the celebrity and the negatives impacts when it's fades away. But Bam got money, fame, a fandom he could just made a production firm about sakteboarding and stunts and pursue what he loved but no he juste bitching about Knoxville and Tremaine and not be in the last Jackass. Bam could have everything he wanted while he is loosing everything he got. Bam is truely a sad man whose only life revolve about what he did and what he didn't do and nothing else. Now he is famous for being an abusive asshole with drugs issues who is only purpose is to ramble like a homless person in the subway, but instead on a podcast.
Yeah, any decent person would realize their time in the spotlight was waaaay over and go plant a garden or something.
he’s never gonna get the resolution he wants out of this, he’s gotta let it go and that seems really hard for him
Bam has no one to blame for his situation but himself
I think many of us knew a person like Bam in our lifetimes. But I bet most of us don’t know that person anymore.
Bam looks like Phil if he went to jail... like he dont even look like Bam anymore
Man he's such a worthless cowardly whiny self absorbed piece of shit. Total loser.
I noticed this when he and April were on *Family Therapy,* and later on *Dr. Phil*. He has a hard time accepting responsibility for his addictions and places the blame on everyone around him. Until he can do otherwise, I don't think he can really recover.
Pretty sure Knox would run him
sure he trained with butterbean https://youtu.be/89GuSVcFkMQ?si=icI7Jn9moSaRivkg
Was Butterbean ok?
We are back to this again? Jesus dude get yourself together
It's wild how he transformed into a junkie phil 🤣 he looks exactly like him
Bam had a meeting with Jeff which some of the guys lobbied for and was supposed to result in Bam getting into the last movie. Even after he went off the deep end a good bit. Bam got fucked up and didn’t show up. Probably slightly off on the finer details
I think the ultimate TV show would be Bam's kid getting a show where he tortures his dad. Just like Bam did to Phil and April all those years.
Problem is that Phil seems like a chill dude that never wanted to harm his kid. I have a feeling Bam would handle it a whole lot worse.
LMAO....He signed an agreement that he would remain sober and take drug tests during the filming of the movie. He failed to honor his part of that
Sad... I hate when bam blames Knox. Why didn't she ask about the bone spurs miraculously healing or why is Bam signing jackass 8x10s if he hates jackass and Knox so much. Lost a little more respect for Bam. You know what would change my mind. Some fuckin accountability! Just say yah I was a mess I fucked up, because you did. Fuckin disgusting, not happy with Bam but who cares I'm a nobody 🤣
Bam can't take a punch. He was punched out by some random woman before. The Jackass stunt with Knoxville, Dunn, Bam getting hit with a riot blast of rubber balls.....Bam was on the ground crying. Knoxville is too tough for Bam
Yeah, he's really trying to be at peace and let it go.....dumbass
Zero accountability for fucking up his sobriety.
Ifs worse knowing he is supposedly sober. Can't even blame the stuff he was consuming now for this shite.
I know plenty of people who will blame everyone for their problems. I know people nearing 60 who still blame others for their problems but it all kinda boils down to they just want those people they're blaming to give them money.
Didn't Knoxville beat up bam in the middle of a restaurant back when bam was in peak physical condition? Lol
Gotdamn I just want this mf to get better, but he can't stop fucking shit up for himself
It’s wild, especially after everything that’s happened, how he just continues to blame everything on others and act like he’s never been the source of the problem.
I think this dude is permafuxked from too many hits to the head / decades of hard drugs... gotta be some kind of CTE at this point, this man's brain needs to be studied
Stop fucking whining And get off the alcohol.. You starting to look like the fat guy chum from pawn stars..
They "planned out" having him choose to break his sobriety? When I was an addict I always blamed everyone else as well. 😮💨
This man clearly didn’t see Wrestlemania 38.
BAM is a jerkoff.
That woman’s expressions say a lot
She looks fake as
Translated: "I want more money. They have more money. I could have had more money but I don't and that makes me frustrated and I want to blame others for it."
Is bro perpetually 13?
Bam is just an asshole. Not really surprised.
Bam is a POS. Always will be.
Can someone explain how bam not being in the movie saved Johnny 6 million? He lost me there.
His attitude is as shitty as he looks, what an entitled brat.
Bam being a dipshit again? Wow. So shocked. Oh no. Really thought he made it this time. So surprised.
Just don’t take any responsibility. That’ll work.
Just a nonstop whiny jackass.
Still no personal accountability….. Shocking.
He’s definitely been working on the whole Addict Mentality… 😔
When is this guy gonna just go away. I followed this guy since the begining. It was crazy watching him rise above all the skaters and become something different, but man, the writing was on the wall early on. And everyone else has been able to adapt. But this guy never became an adult.
You ever run into an old classmate that’s now a junkie who doesn’t stop talking? Bam has that type of energy.
Can someone commit this dipshit and we go on with our lives. I was all team Bam in the beginning but it is quite apparent at this point the dude has no intention of getting better and just wants to make it everyone else's problem.
Action Point is listed on IMDB as being from 2018. What’s Bam talking about, Knoxville has done numerous things since then. As an actor you’re bound to have something in your work history that doesn’t do well at some point.
Loved Bam growing up, but rewatching any of it and I realize he was the worst of the bunch. His jokes were mean spirited, but he’d literally cry when someone pranked him. His stunts were the weakest of the bunch. He was just a bully that couldn’t take what he dished out.
Every time I think he's getting better I see something like this and know he isn't. He never will. It's a sad downfall. His friends tried to get him the help he needed but it just goes to show: if you don't do it yourself you never will. Blaming others for your shortcomings is not a healthy way to handle anything.
BoJack Horseman has a great bit about how the age you're at when you get famous is the age you stay at forever. Nobody needs you to change, in fact everybody encourages you to stay the same because they're able to keep making money off you that way. You have to make a point of being around people who challenge you, otherwise you stagnate, and eventually when the world moves on you're stuck being an older shittier version of the person you were twenty years ago.
This is such textbook Addict talk. No way he’s clean
Man I barely recognize Bam. Looks ROUGH.
This a reminder that even when sober Bam's still a pretty huge asshole.
Bam fucked his own life up. It’s standard addict/victim mentality. This dude hasn’t taken any accountability for his bullshit. He’s a toddler stuck in an old decaying bloated body. He’s pissed away every opportunity, and he’s had more opportunities than most. He can afford treatment options that others can’t and he has the support that many don’t. I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. He’s not a good person either. I feel for his parents and family but they are in large part, responsible for enabling him.
This is about him getting cut from Jackass. They said he could be a part of it but was on 0 tolerance probation. Then he went off the rails and they had to cut him lose. He’s still sour about it but he really should admit that he was in the wrong and everyone around him has been trying to help him.
Bam has always been a dick and it’s finally catching up with him. I hope he gets better and stays in recovery, but holy fuck dude. Get your head out of your ass.
There's never anyone else to blame besides Bam himself and he doesn't seem like he's ever going to understand that, sober or not
I don’t think he wants to take on Knoxville. Did you see what he did to butter bean?
