Bam Margera’s outing with a mystery woman Friday did nothing to alleviate his friends’ concerns over his struggle with sobriety.
The 43-year-old former professional skateboarder who checked himself out of rehab on June 18, was spotted with the unidentified female companion Friday night in West Hollywood.
The Jackass star seemed to be trying to keep his presence somewhat low key.
He wore fitted black cargo pants, a black T-shirt and long black sweater with a hood placed over his head.
The Viva la Bam star wore dark sunglasses as well.

Low-key: The reality star, who left rehab a couple of weeks ago, seemed to be trying to maintain a low-key profile, wearing dark sunglasses and covering up with a hooded sweater
His lady friend looked stylish in a purple jumpsuit with a plunging halter top and an elastic hem at the ankle.
Her long dark hair was styled in loose layers.
They walked with their arms around each other.
The outing comes as new court documents have emerged, in which Bam’s estranged wife, Nicole ‘Nikki’ Boyd, claimed he once held a knife to his throat and ‘yelled threatening words at me and alleged that I did not love him, making me fear for his life as well as my safety,’ according to reporting from The Blast.
Nicole said at the time she did not have access to a car and called her brother in Northern California to come and get her.
She also claimed that when the Haggard writer and director was in a rehab center in Tampa, Florida, ‘Bam started acting aggressive towards me, even with the therapists from his rehab center present.’
Nicole said after that, she returned to California with the couple’s son, Phoenix, who will turn six in September.
Nikki says for the sake of their boy, ‘I need to create a peaceful and steady life that is inconsistent with the ups and downs and dangerous behavior we get pulled into, particularly when Bam is on a bender but even when he is sober.’
The stunt performer was put on a 72 hour psychiatric hold, referred to as a 5150 hold in California — in early June after allegedly threatening to smoke crack until he died if he wasn’t able to see his son.
Lamar Odom, 43, who has struggled with his own addiction, tried to come to his rescue, helping him find placement in a detox center in San Diego with plans to transfer to an Odom Wellness Treatment Center for more treatment.

Safety: Court papers filed by Bam’s estranged wife Nicole Boyd allege he once held a knife to his throat ‘and yelled threatening words at me… making me fear for his life as well as my safety.’ The couple share son Phoenix, who will turn six in September
Braced: Bam’s former Jackass co-star Steve-O has tried to help the comedian get sober. After a now-deleted online rant Steve-O wrote, ‘I wish you could know how much I’ve hated feeling braced for news of your death, but you’re making it clear that I have no other choice’
Bam’s former Jackass castmate Steve-O took his old pal as an opening act on his Bucket List tour in the early part of 2023, but called him on the carpet for his bad behavior in response to one of Bam’s now-deleted Instagram posts.
‘I’ve tired everything I can, but I can’t force you to get honest and do the work of recovery,’ Steve-O wrote.
‘I wish you could know how much I’ve hated feeling braced for news of your death, but you’re making it clear that I have no other choice.
‘You’re dying, brother, and it sucks that I can’t do anything to save you.’
