It's an all-out war between Bam Margera and his former Jackass team. The 41-year-old has sued his ex-best friend Johnny Knoxville, Paramount Pictures, MTV, as well as a slew of other people and companies involved with the franchise.
Bam's lawsuit comes just six months after he was booted from Jackass Forever after allegedly failing to comply with the conditions set for him after struggles with substance abuse.
He's not only coming for his former Jackass co-star, he's also suing the co-creators of the MTV franchise, Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine, claiming he was pressured into signing an agreement that ultimately ended his career on the show.
According to the lawsuit obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, Bam alleges that Knoxville, Jonze, and Tremaine forced him to sign his John Hancock on a "wellness agreement" during his stint in rehab in 2019, and he was unable to give the agreement to his attorney.
Bam claims the "wellness agreement" was hell for him.
The ex-Jackass star alleges he was required to take frequent drug and alcohol tests and claims he was forced prescription drugs that often made him drained and left him depressed.
Bam calls the treatment forced upon him by the Jackass team "inhumane" and "discriminatory." He also compares it to Britney Spears' conservatorship battle.
