Bam Margera, Hollywood 'Jackass,' Knocked Out by Girl at SXSW Music Conference

Categories: Alcohol

Wham, Bam, no thank you m'am.
Bam Margera has performed a lot of death-defying stunts. He's even been shot by a ball bearing in an incident so painful it left him crying. Such is the life of a skateboarder-turned-star of the Hollywood Jackass film franchise.

But getting his ass kicked on camera apparently didn't prepare Margera for the fist of fury of a ... girl.

That's right, Margera was knocked out by a girl during last week's SXSW festivities in Austin. But the coolest thing about the episode was ...


... Margera's attitude.

He admitted it all to TMZ.

He said he was walking through a hotel party Thursday night when someone called him out in a not-so-friendly way. In response, he made fun of a big girl in the group, calling her a "beached whale."

Then came the punches. From a guy. Margera engaged, and the two ended up on the ground, where the woman in question delivered a blow that put him out cold for 7 minutes.

Margera was left with a bloody face, a black eye and a missing $500 bracelet. But living to tell this tale?

Priceless.

Why is anybody shocked? we all know FATT people have harder punches and kicks due to their overweight stubby bodies.. heres some advice, although FATTS have a more powerful punch, they are also slow and run out of breath quick.. best defense against a FATT is to not let them tree hug you and to get behind them and hit the back of their flabby neck..hit it with your palm too a few times and they will fall and fall hard..once their down its harder for them to get up.. Once their down, the defender need to get into PIG slaughter mode and choke out the FATT as if its tomorrows breakfast bacon.

LOL. This loser couldn't find his way back to his own hotel room. The people in the "drunkard" group that he discredits as obnoxious and confrontational were actually attempting to do him a favor by letting him in, since none of his friends at SXSW would have him. When he started to act disrespectfully, only then did they retaliate...

So he thought it was okay to call a nice, cute girl who was trying to help him all along a "beached whale". (She has a tiny frame and is definitely NOT fat) Besides, that's an insult on par with a middle school dodge ball tournament and he was the one who singled her out. Coupled with the fact that Bam is not the best looking guy and certainly looks awful in the pictures.

He deserved every one of those punches and the girl that delivered the K.O. still deserves her cred. Props to her for standing her ground and not letting a pseudo-celebrity get away with being a "Jackass". If you're going to act that way at SX, check your false sense of entitlement, because you're a pseudo-celebrity at the door.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure people who can afford that hotel, can afford a SXSW pass.

Bam should tell the truth and learn how to keep his 13-year-old mouth shut when it matters.

I was there.. sort of.. considering I don't remember how this controversy started but I do remember standing outside of the elevator hearing multiple people rumble around, it sounded like the dude she was with went for him. By the time he was out the elevator I saw him on his knees still shooting his mouth off then she came back from unlocking her hotel room and got a kick to his face. He said that it hurt but that he doesn't hit girls. Even though he's quoted to have said he was out for 7 minutes, he wasn't. I sat there wiping the blood off his nose and then we left.

GO BAM! I salute him for putting that whale in her place! Even though he got a black eye from her, hes still the real winner. He gets more outrageous publicity and this is just another funny crazy story in his life that wouldve gone well in an episode of Jackass.

A guy was hit REPEATEDLY by another guy... he was already "on the ground"... then a very large woman punched him.

Yeah, this article is stupid. But congratulations on grabbing eyeballs with your B.S. headline.

SXSW is for animals

Sounds like someone couldn't get a badge, wristband or pass. SXSW is awesome. I travel to it every year. Rude people are there, but there are also so many more awesome people who make it incredibly worth going. (The only animal I saw was an abandoned puppy that a couple decided to adopt.)

"Then came the punches. From a guy. Margera engaged, and the two ended up on the ground, where the woman in question delivered a blow that put him out cold for 7 minutes."

well in Bam's defense... it wasnt a 1 on 1 fight. He was already fighting with a guy when the whale came out and clocked him.

You think it's cool that he verbally abused someone based on their looks and owned up to it because he got his ass kicked? He fucking well SHOULD.

And YOU should be sacked for giving this has-been ANY press at all but it's pretty clear where YOUR lips are firmly planted.

Verbally abuses... are you kidding me?

So you'd expect a woman to be knocked out for calling a Guy short?

I guess if you add in the word abuse you can justify knocking someone out...

Im sure you might insult a few people in a drunken state being a hollywood celebrity where people yell out insults at you all day just to get a rise out of a celebrity and boost there personal esteem. And yeah this "has-been" made a millions doing practically nothing. I salute him.

I gotta say that Bam isn't really worth the coverage. But given the big fuss everyone is making about this incident in Austin there's always going to be a demand for this stuff. TMZ has ruined everything.

He's absolutely lying. He wasn't "walking through" anywhere, he wanted more drugs that were in a hotel room that the girl's friend had. Piece of shit!

Yea if he admitted he got knocked out by a girl he made fun of, the real story must have been much worse.
