Bam told TMZ: ‘I went to rehab for Adderall and alcohol. And I went there thinking I was going to do 30 days, but they insisted that I do 90 days and I’m like, alright, is this on my bill or yours?’
He was hesitant to do the 90 days, but said he would do it because he gets ‘$5million every time we do a movie or more.’

He listed a host of drugs the rehabilitation ordered him to be on for his release, including Zoloft, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, and Klonopin.
‘This is what the doctors say I need,’ he said. ‘And then it led to suicidal tendencies on all 18 medications I was on. I’m like, well what’s the point of a $5 million contract that I have to walk on eggshells and jump through your hoops, which is already impossible, to obey if I’m dead?’
When asked about Jackass 4 producers demands, Bam noted: ‘It was the definition of f***in torture,’ he said. ‘They tortured me.’
