Jackass star Bam Margera back in rehab after going missing in June

A few months after going missing from a facility in Florida, Jackass star Bam Margera is reportedly back in court-ordered rehab.

Bam Margera is reportedly back in court-ordered rehab after he was spotted at a bar in Florida earlier this month following multiple escapes.

According to TMZ, the Jackass star’s latest stint doesn’t require him to stay at an inpatient facility due to his various escape attempts.

“They’re gonna try an outpatient approach and pray for different results,” sources told the outlet.

Margera, 42, will still be required to stay sober, go to classes and see a psychiatrist, according to the insiders, New York Post reports.

A rep for Margera did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The new approach comes just weeks after he was spotted wandering around a bar in Sarasota, Florida, after leaving a different rehab facility.

Prior to the sighting, his family posted a statement about his struggle with “mental health and addiction” via Instagram.

“Bam is currently in treatment and we are helping him with his social media while he focuses on his recovery,” they captioned an August 6 post. “We are his family who love and communicate with him to collaborate on his content and updates.”

Margera has previously attempted to escape from rehab twice.

He was reported missing in June, but was found safe in a hotel room two days later. Just two weeks later, he fled the facility once again and was found again at a nearby hotel shortly afterwards.

The TV personality has battled with substance abuse issues for years. He was arrested for a DUI in 2018 and was sentenced to three years probation. Since then, he has frequently checked in and out of rehab centres.

Amid his struggles, Margera’s estranged wife, Nicole Boyd, filed for custody of their four-year-old son, Phoenix, in September 2021.
