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.
To shed light on the situation, TMZ provided videos and images related to Bam’s custody battle. One video shows Bam outside the court, expressing his frustration and desire to see his son. Another video features an interview with Nikki, who expressed her shock at the turn of events and described Bam’s behavior as “extremely scary.” She emphasized the need for consistent change in Bam’s actions before reconsidering visitation arrangements with Phoenix.
The couple’s tumultuous custody battle has received significant media attention, with many expressing their support for Bam as he navigates his path to sobriety and fights for his rights as a father. The outcome of the court hearings and the ongoing efforts of both parties to find a resolution will undoubtedly shape the future of their relationship and their ability to co-parent effectively.
Despite the challenges he has faced, Bam remains determined to remain sober and create a healthy environment for himself and his son. He understands the importance of putting his recovery first and is willing to do whatever it takes to be a positive presence in Phoenix’s life. As the legal proceedings continue, both Bam and Nikki must find a way to prioritize their son’s well-being and reach a resolution that is in his best interests.
