Margera is seen crying by a guardrail, hugging his now ex-wife, Missy Rothstein. He speaks to a reporter on the scene, barely. He had so much talent. In the aftermath, Margera emptied more bottles than he could count. He'd sign off on bar tabs that climbed into the thousands in West Chester for his entourage. He'd vomit most of the food he ate there, only to get home and eat an entire frozen pizza while it was still frozen.
None of it made him feel better and nothing made him stop, not even a diagnosis of early pancreatitis. Margera would wake up in the morning and try it all again, an unfunny Groundhog Day.
His weight ballooned to pounds. That made skating difficult, but, even worse, it made skating embarrassing. So he stopped. They divorced in His drinking had a lot to do with that, he said, but they remain friends. In , Margera got hit with a baseball bat outside a bar he owned in West Chester. In , he got beat up by Icelandic rappers at a music festival. Jenn in The show was a guided tour through rock bottom, including an over-the-top scene with Margera's name on a tombstone that deeply affected his mother.
The show paid well, Margera said, and, unlike other interventions that flamed out, it also woke him up. Five years, he said. That's how many he thinks he lost in limbo and under the influence, wasting away in the bars in West Chester with people he didn't really know.
When I first started taking it, I went to the bar and they asked me, 'What do you want to drink? I don't want red wine. I don't want whiskey. Cookies were, of course, a staple. Ryan would love to eat them, especially when they were filming a lot. He also loved a dish that I just made up called vegetable pie. I am here to learn. I can honestly say that I taught him how to boil water she laughs again.
Can you share how you first heard about the accident a year ago and how you felt? When the accident first happened, our first thought was of Angie, his long-time girlfriend, and his family. We also thought of Bam, who was in Arizona at the time. The thought of Bam finding out via a text or TV was frightening to us.
Luckily, he was traveling and had good friends with him. How is Bam doing now? Bam has had a rough year dealing with the loss of his dear friend, dealing with the loss of the fun projects they were weeks away from starting. And, dealing with the horrific details of the crash.
His extreme fear of snakes, used by other cast members to elicit terrified reactions, showed vulnerability. Him being trapped in a trailer with a cobra is probably the only time anyone cried on Jackass not as a result of intense vomiting. It's horrible and heart-rending to see how the death of one young man ruin the life of another. But it goes to show how just how destructive it can be. Bam Margera had everything, but without Ryan Dunn, what did it all mean? It must have been compounded by the conviction of his uncle Vincent 'Don Vito' Margera as a sex offender, and his subsequent death from alcoholism in Bam created a brand around him and his family and friends on reality TV, but when actual reality stepped in an over him, he couldn't cope.
Bam's descent into alcohol-fuelled malaise is terrifying. It shows that the people who are most important to us could leave us in a state of total disrepair if something were to happen to them. How we deal with a cataclysmic tragedy is dependent on the individual. Some of us might fall apart in the futility of life; some may be more resilient.
Bam Margera does not appear to possess that resilience. Margera broke down in tears while speaking to Fox 29 back in , revealing the heart-breaking moment he learnt his friend had died.
During his Fox interview, a clearly emotional Margera could be seen crying at the roadside near to where the crash happened. Between tears, he said: "I was in Arizona when I heard. I was with some friends having the best time ever and I wasn't mad at anything or anybody. And if it was
