Former Jackass star Bam Margera has just shared a worrying video in which he criticized the prank franchise, while also admitting that he had already dealt with suicidal thoughts.
Margera, 41, asked fans to boycott the next Jackass 4 film while accusing the production of controlling his life when he was still involved.
The MTV star, who has long struggled with substance abuse, went on to talk about considering suicide, revealing that he even researched how to tie a tie online.
While Margera started the video, which was already deleted but was captured by TMZ, Bam babbled: ‘Who cares if I’m drunk or not?’

He later admitted to drinking a glass of wine and seven beers before sharing his speeches.
‘Jackass put me through a hell of a shit for a year and a half, keeping me in Pennsylvania, I couldn’t leave,’ he said, claiming he had to take several breathalyzer tests a day and had to take urine tests at random while working on previous Jackass projects.
He also said he was forced to take his antidepressant medication in front of someone at Paramount Pictures ‘every day’.
Bam highlighted how his colleague Jackass-er Steve-O – who has been sober for over a decade – was treated, commenting on how he was able to work and travel freely.
He went on to complain about all the money he spent on rehab in hopes of returning to Jackass.

Bam was also concerned that they would use his ideas in the film without presenting it, which led him to plead with fans: ‘If anyone cares about me, don’t go to see the film’ and ask for money to finance their own project.
“Jackass was everything to me,” he sobbed, before throwing up and seeming to throw up.
He seemed a little more lucid in the following video, where his worried wife Nicki Boyd was captured.
While presenting his competing project, Bam casually mentions how his wife found him looking for ways to tie a bow online before turning the camera on her.

Fights: Bam has had difficult years, dealing with several arrests, hospitalizations and rehabilitation
But he said things have been looking up since he moved to Oceanside, California, stopped using antidepressants, met new friends and started skating again.
Bam has had some difficult years, dealing with several arrests, hospitalizations and rehabilitation periods.
In 2019, he was arrested for trespassing after a bizarre incident in the lobby of a Los Angeles hotel.
The prison took him to his third stint in rehabilitation. During this period, he was hospitalized with edema.
And he suffered more misfortunes last month, when his Bentley was stolen while he was at the gas station and then taken in a high-speed chase that ended when the car crashed into a house.
