I caught a whirl wind of FALSE typical tabloid bullshit about Bam the other day, and had to do a little further investigation. What, at first, seemed juicy straight from the NYPost turned out to be crap and was given "an apology"

UPDATE: The New York Post has apologized for falsely claiming Jackass star Bam Margera was the star of a secret sex tape. Their report has been proven to be false. Apparently, Bam and Lindsay Hughes never even met.

Here is the original story that started circulating online and beyond:

"Jackass” regular Bam Margera is at the center of a sex tape scandal, with racy footage of the star reportedly set to be released on a pay-per-view Web site.

Margera, who has previously been romantically linked to Jessica Simpson, is allegedly shown in the tape performing sex acts with blonde Lindsay Hughes, the fiancee of New York radio host Gregg "Opie” Hughes.

Steppin’ Out magazine reports the tape has been obtained by a former employee of Gregg Hughes, who is now considering taking legal action in a bid to stop the film being published on the Internet.

The publication’s Chaunce Hayden tells the New York Post’s Page Six, "They’re doing the nasty — and I mean nasty. Hughes is taking legal action to prevent its distribution.

"Apparently, he’s so distraught, he’s banned the name ‘Bam’ from being mentioned on the (radio) show.”

The alleged video footage is sure to put Margera’s one-year marriage to Melissa Rothstein under further pressure. Just months into their marriage, in July 2007, Rothstein reportedly gave the star an ultimatum — to quit drugs or end up divorced.

Apparently, Bam was so confident that all of this was false that he had offered $100,000 for a copy of the alleged sex tape. 

"I wouldnt let some Dudes film me hump some girl" - BAM

Funny Shit!

Chaunce Hayden - who was quoted in the Page Six article as saying "They're doing the nasty - and I mean nasty" - amazingly admitted to FMQB yesterday of actually never having seen the video. The smoking gun was revealed this morning when Bam Margera himself called into the Opie & Anthony show, and denied that the sex tape exists. "I think it's nonsense... if I filmed it, I filmed it myself. I never even heard of those dudes," said Margera referring to the ex-employee who supposedly bought the rights from Bam.

Bam's reputation can now be restored to what it was before.
