He later admitted to drinking a glass of wine and seven beers before sharing his thoughts.
According to Magera, he was excluded from the production of Jackass 4 – the super popular antics movie franchise of which he has been an important part.
‘I’m not on’ Jackass 4 ‘, and if anyone cares about me, don’t go and see the movie, because I’m going to make my f ** king radder way if you send me a dollar,’ he said.
‘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.

“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.
