Jackass star Bam Margera is 'messed up' due to 'meth habit', says brother

Jackass star Bam Margera is reportedly ‘messed up’ due to his ‘meth habit’, says his brother.

Recently, a warrant was put out by the authorities calling for the arrest of Brandon 'Bam' Margera. The warrant follows a disturbance reported on 23 April, in which Bam allegedly assaulted his brother Jess Margera, as well as threatened to kill members of his family. Bam then supposedly fled into the woods and hasn't been seen since.

As reported by our friends at UNILAD, Bam’s brother Jess then took to Twitter in response to some allegedly calling him the “a**hole” of the ordeal. On Wednesday 26 April, with Bam still not found, Jess tweeted: “I mean I can talk to my light bulbs. My car can back out of the garage and pick me up at the front door. Police should be able to track a phone right? Apparently, I’m the a**hole.”

A fan then responded to the tweet offering support to Jess and Bam. “Bro, as a lifelong fan of your band and your brother. I really wish from the bottom of my heart that everything turns out ok. I send my love to you and your family and I’ll be checking in to see if there are any updates, stay positive,” said @ALExX00Ra.

Jess responded to the fan openly, sharing an insight into the family's troubles and the kind of person his brother can be when he’s not on meth. “I appreciate it man, I’m trying to stay positive. Bam really is the sweetest guy when he isn’t messed up. But since his meth habit, he's unrecognisable & I really don’t know what he’s capable of. Seeing him screaming at a person that wasn’t there, hallucinating,” replied Jess. “It’s really scary & heartbreaking.”

Another follower urged Jess to make peace with his brother. However, as we all know, families are complicated and we never truly know what’s going on behind closed doors. Jess replied, “Make peace? Lol, a dude that’s been up on meth for a week and screaming at his shadow on the wall randomly attacked me while I was making a cup of coffee. And was screaming about killing my dad. I still don’t even know what he was mad at. This is a one-sided meltdown dude.”

Sadly, this is not the first time Bam has been arrested. In recent weeks, he was arrested following a disturbance at a restaurant as well as being arrested on charges of domestic violence after an altercation with a woman.
