Jackass was all the rage in the 2000s. Fans loved the show members' crazy, daredevil antics. But since the series ended, much of the cast have faced serious issues. Aside from various arrests, some cast members have struggled with alcohol or drug addiction, and have been to rehab several times.
Here's a highlight reel of the best Jackass moments:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/kQ09l4Z9-Q0L14jDU.mp4||kQ09l4Z9]]
Bam Margera is no exception to the rule. The Jackass member is very open about his struggle with mental health and addiction. This week, he took to Instagram to ask for Dr. Phil's help. In a string of 11 videos of him talking to the camera, Bam discussed some of his issues with his followers.
He started his first video by addressing Dr. Phil and saying: "I need your help in a big big way. My family is in shambles. It's been worse than it's ever been, ever. I've disowned my mom. I'll tell you why. Nikki I can't stand."
He went on to say that his wife, Nikki, is stubborn and will use their son as bait if they separate.

His next video discussed his mother: "Everything she says is negative. She always cuts people off and never lets them finish."

Bam continued, saying that he's been to 28 doctors and rehab four times, but that the only person he believes can help him is the TV doctor: "The only person I believe is you because, when I watch you, I'm like 'that's what I would've said.' The only person I will believe on the planet is Dr. Phil."

In the remaining videos, Bam criticised Novak, another Jackass star. He picked at his spending habits, and accused him of being on a high horse since getting sober.
And one of the final videos the 39-year-old posted had the caption: "Do i need help?? Aren't i asking Dr. Phil now? No? This is the last post cause i said all my problems and i feel much better already by just letting it all out!!"

Here's hoping that the Jackass star and his friends can get back on their feet.

Dr. Phil's show is a programme where you could genuinely have ANY kind of guest. Seriously, over the years he's spoken to all kinds of weird and wonderful people... and some who aren't so wonderful. Where else but on Dr. Phil could you ever hope to meet someone like Danielle Bregoli aka the 'Catch Me Outside' Girl? Back in 2016, Bregoli shocked viewers at home with her bad behavior and outrageous statements - even challenging the audience to a fight at one point.
But now, sadly, it appears as though Dr. Phil has met someone even more outrageous: a black teenager who thinks that she's white, and who appears to hold a number of racist and self-loathing views. Treasure, a 16-year-old, believes that she is actually white, and furthermore is something of a white supremacist who believes that her 'whiteness' makes her inherently superior to other African-Americans.
To see Treasure explain why she believes she is white, check out the video below:

She's even prejudiced towards her own mother and appears to have first manifested bigotry towards other black people after the death of her white stepfather. Treasure's mother, Monique, explained that, as a child, Treasure refused to play with other black children, and that her racism may have been exacerbated by an adolescent association with the KKK.
"I know a lot of people take issues with my beliefs. I'm white. I'm a Caucasian because everything about me is different from an African American - I have naturally straight hair. My hair is not nappy; it doesn't require a weave. My nose is not giant, like African Americans, my lips are perfect, they're not too big and they're not too small they're just perfect. Most African-Americans speak ghetto. When it comes to black people, I think they're all ugly and I have nothing in common with them."

She added: "I'm different from African Americans because I'm white. My figure's just like Kim Kardashian's, and she's a wonderful role model. I act and I think like a white person instead of a black person. I believe that I'm completely and utterly better than [black people], we're on two different levels. There's nothing wrong with my views or beliefs because I have freedom of speech and everything I'm saying is true. It makes me feel good to put down African Americans because it helps them stay in their place. I identify with the Ku Klux Klan because the way they believe is just so smart. White is right."
This is how Treasure reacted when the Dr. Phil team took her to an African American part of Los Angeles:

Some viewers believe that Monique is merely playing up for the cameras, and attempting to gain the same infamy as Danielle Bregoli, but her mother still insists that she's telling the truth. Dr. Phil's life coach, who was on set at the time of the interview, stated that she thought that Monique's beliefs were an expression of her internalized racism and that her low self-esteem is to blame for her racist ideology. Hopefully, she'll come to her senses soon...

Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she took heroin as a teenager because it was "cheaper" than other drugs.
The 36-year-old opened up about her substance abuse to hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris on a recent episode of Red Table Talk.
She explained: "I kept getting sick and I had a really bad case of tonsillitis. They ended up having to give me some crazy surgery and then after that, they gave me Vicodin and that was all I needed."
Watch Kelly's appearance on Red Table Talk below:Unsurprisingly, the hosts were shocked by this revelation, and she continued: "I went from having every voice in my head going like, 'You're fat.' 'You're ugly.' 'You're not good enough.' 'No one likes you.' 'You don't deserve this.' 'People don't like you because of who your parents are'.
"And all of a sudden, every single voice was silenced and it felt like life gave me a hug."
Osbourne said that she had Vicodin for the first time when she was 13, and "it went very quickly from Vicodin to Percocet to Heroin eventually because it was cheaper."
Kelly has previously spoken candidly about her battle with addiction and said that she relapsed in April of this year.
She decided to stop drinking alcohol in 2017 after she hit "rock bottom".
Per The Sun, she said in an interview earlier this month: "I went away somewhere with my friend and people were by a pool, they were drinking champagne.
"It was champagne and it was like, 'I can have a glass of that'. And I had a glass and I was fine, walked away from it, didn’t have another one for a couple of weeks, didn’t even think about it.
"And then I was out with my friends and I was like, ‘I’m going to have a drink, I’m fine'. I had two drinks, I was fine.
"And then it started off from going having one drink here, one drink there to literally three bottles of champagne and 24 White Claws a day."
Kelly hasn't just spoken candidly about her battle with addiction, and she's also been honest about her impressive weight loss, which led to plastic surgery rumors.
Slamming the rumors, she said: "I want to make something very clear. I am not a liar. I have never had plastic surgery. At least not yet!!!!
"The only thing I had done [was] a bit of Botox in my forehead and jaw. And I had my top lip injected. That's it."

Danielle Bregoli has spoken out about the alleged "abuse" she endured at the teenage residential facility where she was sent after appearing on Dr. Phil.
Bregoli, who is also known by her stage name 'Bhad Bhabie', went viral back in 2016 following her appearance on the lifestyle chat show Dr. Phil.
In the episode, titled 'I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried to Frame Me for a Crime', Bregoli gained worldwide attention for her outlandish behavior, and for telling members of the audience to "catch her outside".
Following the show, the then-13-year-old was send to the Turn-About Ranch in Escalante, Utah, which, according to its official website, promises to "impart [a] lasting and powerful change in teens" through "therapy, academics, and hard work".
Now, an 18-year-old Bregoli has spoken out in a new YouTube video about the alleged abuse she suffered during her time at the ranch.
Watch Bregoli's video below:At the beginning of the video, Bregoli explains to the viewers that she has "no evidence" of her claims due to the fact there are no cameras at the facility and residents are not allowed their cell phones. Additionally, she adds: "All the staff [are] in on it, so they're not going to snitch on each other."
Upon her arrival, Bregoli claims that she wasn't allowed to shower or sleep for the first three days.
"You have to sit there for three days," she said. "They wouldn’t let me lay down for nothing. Like, I was falling asleep and they’re like, ‘Oh, get up, get up.’ So I’m just sitting here like, ‘This is gonna be really bad,’ when I see these people have no sympathy."
Bregoli goes on to claim that at the ranch "take away necessity privileges, like sleeping on a bed, eating good food, not being cold."
Recalling one incident, Bregoli alleges that she saw the staff physically restrain and "hold down" one of the residents - something that she claims they're "not supposed to do," but that the staff "had no problem doing that".
Bregoli goes on to accuse the ranch of not "feeding" the residents or "letting them sleep in decent conditions."
"Just doing things that no one would ever want done to their child, and doing it to kids that are so helpless," says Bregoli.
The teenager shared the video as part of the "Breaking Code Silence" movement, which the Post reports is seeking to spread awareness of alleged abuse and mistreatment of children at facilities like Turn-About Ranch.
The video, titled 'BHAD BHABIE - Breaking Code Silence - Turn About Ranch abuse Dr. Phil | Danielle Bregoli', has since amassed over 1.8 million views on YouTube.
Posted to YouTube on Friday (March 19), Bregloi used the near-nine-minute video to not only share her own alleged experiences, but also offer support for Hannah Archuleta - another former teenage resident of Turn-About Ranch who was also sent there through the Dr. Phil show.
Per the New York Post, Archuleta filed a lawsuit against the ranch last month after claiming that she was repeatedly punished for reporting an employee for sexually assaulting her in late 2018.
After arriving at the ranch at the age of 17, Archuleta claims that an unidentified male employee assaulted her within the first two weeks.
She said: "Within the first two weeks at Turn-About Ranch, a male staff member came up behind me and suddenly grabbed my butt.
"I decided not to tell anyone because I was scared of being punished, and I hoped that he would not touch me again. Sadly, I was wrong."
As well as pursuing legal action, Archuleta is urging parents against sending their children to "these places".
Bregoli has now demanded that Dr. Phil issue an apology by April 5, not onlt to her, but any other teenager his show sent to the ranch.
"So, Dr. Phil, I'm going to give you from now to April 5, to issue an apology. Not only to me, but to Hannah and any other child that you send to Turn-About or any other program like this. And if you don't, I'm going to handle things my way," she said.

Clueless star Stacey Dash has spoken candidly about her drug addiction battle.
During an appearance on the Dr. Oz Show, the 54-year-old opened up about how serious her addiction became, and how she would take around "18 to 20" Vicodin pills a day at her worst.
She admitted to spending "about five to ten grand" each month to buy the pills — which are typically used to treat moderate to severe pain.
"Eighteen to 20 Vicodin a day, that’s expensive," Oz said, to which a tearful Dash replied: "Yeah, I lost everything."
Now, Dash — who is best known for playing Dionne in the 1995 hit rom-com — is five years sober.
During the interview, Dash told Dr. Oz: "I'm not blaming doctors at all because it was my choice to take more, you know?" It was my choice to take that extra one even though I wasn't in pain. I chose to do that because the Vicodin filled that hole inside of me."
"It filled that anger. It calmed that anger down. It slowed my brain down. It gave me the ease so that I could deal with life. That's how I became addicted. It's no one's fault but my own," she added.
"The greatest blessing is that not only have I been able to be honest with myself and become a better person," she continued. "I’ve been able to understand my parents and that they did love me, and that they were doing the best they could and they were just sick. They were addicted."
The actress credited religion for helping her achieve sobriety, and although she said that it "has not been easy" and that she spent days "on her knees", God "filled that hole" inside of her and gave her strength.
"Do I have to fight for it? Sometimes, yeah. Are there moments when I wake up and I’m like, 'This is a bad day. I want to do something bad.' I know if I get on my knees and I pray that Jesus will help me — he has for five years."
In a Facebook post, published on October 14, Dash said she would be sharing her "deepest, darkest secret."
"I thank the Lord for being able to say that I have grown more over the last 5 years than I have in my entire life. I am so blessed to be surrounded by people who have loved and supported me through my most challenging time," she wrote.
"Thank you all! I encourage anyone who has a story they are scared of telling to share it with the world. You never know who will be able to relate to you and who it can help. Share this with anyone you know who is needing love and light at this moment."
During her conversation with Dr. Oz, she also touched on some trauma from her past, involving an abusive ex-boyfriend, who left her with a broken arm.
"He would beat me so bad, I couldn’t get out of bed for two weeks. I couldn’t walk —[he broke] my arm, tied me to the bed for three days," she said. "Some part of me thought that’s what I deserved."
