Bam Margera sues 'Jackass Forever' team, alleging discrimination and unlawful firing

“Margera is not only the star of the television show and film franchise that has made Paramount and MTV hundreds of millions of dollars to date, but a co-writer and producer who came up with the vast majority of the franchise’s most memorable content,” the lawsuit says.

“Indeed, Jackass would have been impossible without Margera, as more than half of the persons featured on the franchise constitute his [original] CKY Crew, or his immediate family.”The lawsuit alleges Knoxville, Tremaine and Jonze took advantage of Margera and inflicted emotional distress while he was in rehab in 2019, forcing him to sign a “Wellness Agreement” or be excluded from future “Jackass” projects, his primary source of income.

“The Wellness Agreement took its toll on Margera. For months, Margera was obligated to complete daily drug tests, multiple times per day, both scheduled and unscheduled, requests for which could come in at any hour of the day or night. Margera was subject to countless breathalyzer and urinalysis tests, which he submitted to and passed repeatedly for several months without objection or incident.

The filing says Margera also was forced to take a cocktail of psychoactive medications prescribed by a medical team from Paramount, the film’s distributor and one of its producers. According to the lawsuit, the performer did not violate the agreement. “Rather, Defendants’ wrongful termination of Margera stems from the fact that one of the numerous drug tests Margera was forced to submit to demonstrated that he was taking prescription Adderall. Defendants knew full well that Margera had to take Adderall to treat his attention deficit disorder.”

Sadly he still hasn’t conquered his addictions.

It sounds like to me Bam still needs help with his mental illness and sobriety.
