Bam Margera, the former star of “Jackass,” is speaking out about his ongoing custody battle with his estranged wife Nikki and the difficulties he’s facing in seeing his son, Phoenix. Despite his commitment to remaining sober and making positive lifestyle changes, Bam claims that Nikki is blocking him from having face-to-face contact with their son.
In a recent interview outside a court in downtown L.A., Bam expressed the frustration of knowing that his son is just a short drive away, yet he is unable to see him. He vehemently denies the accusations of violence that Nikki has made against him and insists that his only goal right now is to be able to spend time with Phoenix. However, Nikki has only allowed a couple of FaceTime calls between the father and son.
Bam also addressed his sobriety and opened up about his unique approach to recovery. He explained that former NBA player Lamar Odom, who had battled with addiction himself, offered him a different perspective on overcoming addiction. Unlike traditional rehab centers that Bam has attended in the past, Lamar emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive network of sober individuals. In line with this philosophy, Bam has sought the company of coaches and friends who are committed to helping him stay on track.
Alongside his personal struggles, Bam and Nikki attended court to determine the validity of their 2013 marriage in Iceland and to establish whether the California court system is the appropriate jurisdiction to handle their case. Bam testified that they were informed their wedding was not legally binding because they were not residents of Iceland at the time. The judge has yet to rule on this matter.
