This is someone with multiple DUIs, was arrested for DV, has physically assaulted his own family and has burned bridges with many of his former friends but hasn't shown much in the way of remorse for his actions. Empathy for addicts is important but he has never extended that same empathy to others around him. While the rest of the Jackass crew have shown considerable personal growth, he seems perpetually stuck in a child's mindset, completely unable to take responsibility for his own actions and the toll they have taken on those around him. I loved CKY and Jackass and it pains me to see him like this but I don't think the THPS3+4 payday is what will help him get better, he needs to realise that his resentment is unfounded and try to make amends with those he has hurt, of which there is a long list.
He's been hanging out with Hulk Hogan too. Got to face facts, he is at least superficially MAGA.

If you listen to the podcast which I posted earlier in this thread the way he talks about his addiction now is VERY different than before he finally has the self awareness that he needs to keep him out of trouble along with people in his life now to keep him accountable.
He is even being allowed to see his son again finally.
Windrunner wrote:Not sure if you aware of how many false dawns there have been with Bam. I hope this isn't another one but given that "Fuck Biden and fuck you for voting for him" banner he posted on Instagram a month ago and that he still wants to fight Johnny Knoxville I remain guarded.
