Jackass' Steve-O Sets The Record Straight On Toxic Bam Margera Rumors

On "Steve-O's Wild Ride! Podcast," Steve-O makes it clear that there have been many toxic rumors about Bam Margera that have been hurting Margera and those close to him and making his road to recovery even harder. "I would love to set the record straight that, number one, Bam has not ever been under a conservatorship," Steve-O said. "The temporary guardianship he was under did not ever have any financial implications, and what's come to be known as the 'Free Bam' movement has really been very toxic."

Steve-O goes on to actually talk with Margera, but it's an interview that he admits was recorded a while back. Therefore, it's unclear if the interview took place before or after Margera tried to leave the rehab center. But what is certain is that Margera's family feels similar to Steve-O, posting in part on Instagram that "The 'Free Bam' movement has caused confusion and threat to Bam and our families. Although we love sharing our lives with you, some things need to be handled privately, and treatment is one of them." Hopefully, Margera is finally getting the support he needs to get healthy once and for all.
