Yesterday I said that Steve-O's a douche, which sounds totally insensitive now. Sorry, Steve-O. :(
I hope everything with him works out, and I think it will. Reports surfaced yesterday that Steve-O was suicidal:
"Steve is stabilized on meds at this point," the source told Star. "He was also treated for burns on his skin as if he had been putting cigarettes out on his own body."
Friends and family have become increasingly concerned about the star's mental state, especially following his March 3 arrest following a dispute with a neighbor. Days after, a close family member told Star that Steve-O suffers from untreated bipolar disorder.
Over the weekend Steve-O, 33, e-mailed suicide notes to several friends, blaming a broken romance. Eventually a woman friend and his bodyguard took him to the hospital around 2pm on Sunday. But he caused a major scene in the hospital, says one insider."Steve started flipping out. He told doctors he wanted to hurt himself badly. He wanted to break every bone in his body one by one."
Today, TMZ reported the following:
Steve-O and Britney Spears now have something in common: a 5150 72-hour hold at a Los Angeles hospital. But according to his blog, Stevie boy knows exactly what his problem is.
Steve-O just honest to blogged this morning, hoping to explain his recent problems. Under the headline of "You should all know I am in the looney bin" it reads, "They call it "code 5150," that means "psycho,"legally, f*ckin bat-shit, certifiably. I'm outta my mind, believe-you-me. How'd I get this way? How can this be? It's gotten so bad there's nothing left of me."
Steve-o (whose real name is Stephen Glover) also claims his Jackass buddies are the reason he's now getting help, "Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine, Big Regg, Swizz, Rick Kosick, Dimitry Elyaschevich, Cordell Mansfield, and Trip Taylor came to my home and, physically, forced me into the hospital."
