Bam Margera arrested over domestic violence allegations involving girlfriend

Iceland’s friend and notorious troublemaker Bam Margera, known for his skateboarding feats and wild antics on reality TV and the Jackass films, has been arrested amid serious allegations involving his girlfriend, Dannii Marie. Margera faces accusations of domestic violence, with claims that he physically assaulted Dannii Marie, including kicking her.

Reports from TMZ indicate that police were called to Bam Margera’s home on Thursday. He was subsequently taken into custody and later released on bail exceeding ISK 7 million.

The domestic violence allegations pertain to an incident involving Margera and his girlfriend, Dannii Marie. This incident follows a period of turbulence in Margera’s personal life, including a recent divorce filing by his previous partner, Nicole Boyd.

Dannii Marie’s decision to involve law enforcement highlights ongoing issues in Margera’s life, which have been exacerbated by his struggles with addiction. Margera’s behavior under the influence has reportedly led to significant strain in his relationships.

Steve-O, a close friend from the Jackass crew, publicly appealed to Margera earlier this year, expressing deep concern over his friend’s drinking habits. Steve-O’s emotional social media posts highlighted a recent incident where Margera, despite having time with his son, chose to engage in reckless behavior.

Steve-O, who has maintained sobriety for nearly 15 years, expressed his frustration over Margera’s ongoing struggles and hoped for his friend to pursue recovery for the sake of his family.

Margera’s issues with addiction have been well-documented, with multiple attempts at treatment since 2009. In the past year alone, he has missed three court-mandated treatment sessions.

Margera first gained attention in Iceland during the 2015 Secret-Solstice music festival, where a viral video featuring a confrontation with rapper Gísla Pálma brought him into the spotlight.
