Bam Margera placed on 5150 psychiatric hold after public breakdowns: report.

Bam Margera has been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold after being found acting erratically in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.

The former “Jackass” star — who has been in a very public downward spiral as he fights for custody of his son, Phoenix — was put on the involuntary three-day hold after police found him at Trejo’s Tacos, a restaurant owned by Danny Trejo, Sunday.

The outlet reported Margera, 43, was acting erratically and slurring his speech when he was located by cops.

In conjunction with his public suicide threats, his behavior was deemed concerning enough that authorities called in a psychiatric evaluation team, who ultimately decided to place him on the 5150 hold.

The pro skateboarder can be held in the mental health facility by law for up to 72 hours before being released.

It’s unclear if he’s still in the facility today.

Reps for Margera didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment. LAPD could not confirm the report.

Early Sunday, Bam’s brother, Jess Margera, desperately tweeted a plea for help locating the troubled reality star.

By nightfall, jess fired off another tweet that his brother had been located.

“They found him safe 🙏 he texted me and my parents at 6 am this morning saying he loves us he loves Phoenix and he is at peace,’ and that he took enough pills to stop his heart,” Jess wrote.

“And some really heartbreaking dark s–t. Thanks to everyone who shared info today.”

Last week, the “Viva La Bam” star went on a profanity-filled, since-deleted social media tirade in which he threatened to “smoke crack” until he died unless he could see his 5-year-old son, whom he shares with estranged wife Nicole Boyd.

“I haven’t seen Phoenix in two f–king months,” he fumed. “I have to wake up every day, knowing that I probably won’t get to talk to him or see him.”

Boyd, 39, filed for legal separation in February after Bam fled rehab numerous times.

This past year has been filled with legal troubles for the “Bam’s Unholy Union” alum, as he was arrested for domestic violence in March after allegedly kicking his girlfriend.

Weeks later, he was arrested again for public intoxication at a Los Angeles restaurant.

They did so many stupid things during that MTV show, like stapling their balls, I'm sure there's some dick pictures around.

I'll add him to the "celebrity" death poll.

He needs to do the work to get sober. I don’t think this will change anything about his lifestyle. His poor pitiful me act is all the more galling when you realize he made millions for getting rockets launched at his ass.

It's like he's been in a contest with Steve-O to see who is the most fucked up.

Bam Margera was hot in the 2000s when he was in his twenties.

He started out on JACKASS but proved to be popular and so was given his own hit spin-off, VIVA LA BAM.

Of course, I watched because I found him very attractive/sexy, but I also had a soft spot for his mother, April (called 'Ape').

It's sad to see him like this. He was always happy-gp-lucky on the show albeit a menace to his dad. haha

I was under the impression a 5150 means involuntary, which means he has less rights in that psych ward than if he were in prison. A 72 can only be used in a voluntary commitment, (not even sure you can leave AMA, and risk losing access to prescribed controlled medications you're on.)

What's his ass like?

by Anonymousreply 26June 7, 2023 12:00 AM

Yes, R25, the 5150 hold means that he does not have the legal right to leave or refuse medication, 5150s are only done as a lifesaving measure, because either his life is in danger or someone else's is.

FYI most 5150 holds are ended before the 72 hours are up, the doctor stops them when the patient is together enough to say "No, I won't kill myself or my ex-wife, what was I thinking when I said that.". Under some circumstances the 5150 can be extended for more days, the length of involuntary stays possible vary by state.

You can't "fix stupid". Hopefully, someone in his family has control over his finances.

As I have said to many friends, You have to "want to get clean", it's up to you; It's your choice to get clean-you have to want it bad enough. If not have fun doing drugs, go OD and Die!!

R36 he’s been given so many opportunities for help and has made extremely poor choices. He left rehab on his own.

Addition is a disease, AND A CHOICE!!

They choose to get clean, or they do not. it is THEIR CHOICE OP. AND YOU KNOW IT!! I am not arguing with anyone today.

Just say NO!!

R17 I added him a few months ago. although maybe he can figure life out after the 5150. I sincerely doubt it, though. He has been given help before. I think the poster above was correct; he could be suffering from brain damage. Plus, for some, addiction is just too powerful to overcome. Their brains must be different. Some people go to rehab, and after one visit, they can remain clean.

My friend's Uncle was finally told by Hospice: You drink, you die. For a few months, he was able to abstain from drinking while he was incapacitated. He was able to get off Hospice. As soon as he gained independence and could drive, DRINKING AGAIN. hospice said, "You’re a dead man!" My poor friend’s family cannot understand his mentality. Doesn’t he want to live? It’s definitely got to be something off in his brain...

Addiction is frequently the result of really stupid choices. Fool around with dangerous substances like an idiot, you get addicted.
