Bam Margera Claims Jackass Caused His Addiction And Drug Use Issues

The 42-year-old says that his dependence on Adderall and pain killers were a result of his performances and stunts.

Now he claims he's owed millions, setting the figure at a cool $9.65m (£7.27m) which he says is for his concepts because it's 'unfair to allow them to use my ideas without compensating me for them'.

"It was not until then that I became dependent on Adderall and pain medications to maintain the focus needed to satisfy the production schedule of Defendants for my various television and motion picture projects and to manage the pain associated with the injuries I suffered performing the stunts in those productions."

He went on to add: "I am informed and aware that my fellow cast mates have publicly and privately detailed their own challenges with addiction.

"I do not share those details here, as that is personal to them, notwithstanding my personal observations and knowledge."

Then he outlines some specifics as well as speaking about his current mental health, saying: "As to me, I suffer from bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder.

"I have taken prescription Adderall for more than the past 10 years. I also have a history of anxiety, disordered eating, and began abusing alcohol in my 20s.

"In 2009, at 30 years old, I entered a rehabilitation facility for the first time."

The star has said that the producers agreed to put money into a trust fund for his son but he doesn't think this is good enough.

And his problems with Jackass aren't the only personal issues he's dealing with.

It was reported in September that he had engaged in a legal battle with his wife regarding custody of their son.
