Paramount Pictures has come out on the offensive against Bam Margera over allegations of “inhumane treatment” by people who worked on Jackass Forever, Deadline reports.
“Margera’s lawsuit is baseless,” attorneys for Paramount, MTV Networks, Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze, all of whom are mentioned in the lawsuit. “His claims seeking to enjoin Jackass Forever improperly target Defendants’ protected speech and are precluded as a matter of law,” adding, “This Court should strike them.”
Margera filed the suit in August, claiming he signed off on a “wellness agreement” with a number of stipulations, including several breathalyzer tests per day, a daily morning FaceTime call with a studio-appointed doctor where he showed himself taking medication, and more. However, Margera alleges he was fired by Paramount, and removed from the film for taking the prescription drug Adderall, a medication he claims he has been on for several years.
