Bam Margera | The Dark Side of Fame | How Jackass Destroyed His Life

On the Bright Side of Fame, way back when at the dawning of this
current millennium, three words would change the course of reality
television forever. When “Jackass” first debuted on MTV in the year
2000, no one had ever seen anything else quite like it. Not only
was it rude, crude, and full of attitude, but it would also go on
to become a global phenomenon, birthing stars like Steve-O, Johnny
Knoxville, and Bam Margera. Three seasons of television, countless
spin-offs, and numerous feature films later -- “Jackass” is still
with us today and set to unleash their newest movie, “Jackass
Forever”. But if you’ve been keeping an ear to the ground in
anticipation of this upcoming release then you probably already
know the big news – despite having been a mainstay of the series
from the very beginning, star Bam Margera was fired during the
production of the upcoming film. To be honest, it would become just
the latest in a long line of controversies for this wild and crazy
dude. Because on the Dark Side of Fame is a different story
altogether and Bam’s been flirting with the shadows for nearly as
long as he’s been a regular fixture on our television screens.
Whether it’s his struggles with addiction, frequent arrests, or
even suing his friends, Bam has always had to battle with a host of
personal demons. So, what was the final straw that broke the
camel’s back and why did Bam’s good friends all decide enough was
enough, firing him from the one thing that meant so much to him?
