STEVE-O has given his former Jackass co-star Bam Margera a devastating warning about sobriety as he says he’s preparing for his long-time friend’s death.
The two got into a huge tiff on social media where Steve-O claimed that Bam, 43, was off the wagon and on a dangerous downward spiral.

The comedian welcomed the struggling pro skateboarding on the first leg of his tour, but Bam released a fiery Instagram post that sparked the tiff

The fight began just moments after Steve-O welcomed Bam and his five-year-old son on stage during the first leg of his comedy tour.
Bam, a professional skateboarder whose real name is Brandon, recently had a near-death experience after he suffered multiple seizures following a Covid diagnosis.
Thankfully, the two were able to unite on stage in an emotional union despite being fired from Jackass in 2020 due to failing a drug test.
While the two were buddies on stage, Bam shared a photo later that night of Johnny Knoxville, himself, and Steve-O that appears to reveal a real rift between the two.
“One arm is a best friend who had my f*****g back all along, another arm is a poser,” he wrote in the post.
“A pro creation thief.”
He also spoke on co-creator of the Jackass series Jeff Tremain who says is “too greedy to fit” in the photo.
Bam said he tattooed the phrase “f**k jeff” on his body long ago “because I knew who you were all along.”
He ended the fiery caption with “@steveo much love and respect.”
In a now-deleted comment, Steve-O slammed his friend for throwing the opportunity to spend time with his son and accused him of “getting loaded” after the show.
“You say you want to have a relationship with your son, but your actions guarantee the exact opposite will happen,” he wrote in the deleted post, per TMZ.
“I brought you on tour with me in hopes that I could get you to see what’s possible for you if you choose recovery.
“I’ve tried everything I can, but I can’t force you to get honest and do the work of recovery.”
Steve-O added that he has “braced” himself for the news of Bam’s death, and hates that he has to do that.
“You’re dying, brother, and it sucks that I can’t do anything to save you,” the heartbroken friend wrote.
When asked about the deleted comment, Steve-O reportedly told TMZ that he will be there for the former co-star when he actually wishes to achieve sobriety.
The comment was only public for a few minutes, and he said that he has nothing else to add.
It comes after Steve-O is said to have told crowds during his tour that he was worried about Bam “going down a path that would end in an early death.”
He is even said to have compared Bam’s life to that of troubled US popstar Britney Spears as well as making quips about rehab.
Earlier this year, Bam candidly told TMZ: “Basically, I was pronounced dead on December 8th,” after a nasty battle with Covid sparked a slew of related health issues.
Back in 2018, Hulk Hogan also falsely claimed Bam was dead.
However, the WWE favorite later corrected himself to declare that he had confused Bam with fellow Jackass performer, Ryan Dunn, who had died in 2011.
Hulk apologized on Twitter before deleting the string of tweets completely – but not before fans had spotted his error.
Bam has yet to respond to Steve-O’s heartbreaking plea, and appears to be unbothered as he continues to post funny pictures on his social media.
