Steve-O tells friends: 'I'm paying for my self-destructive behavior'

**CherryDarling** · March 16th, 2008, 12:44 PM

Jackass's Steve-O, who is currently hospitalized, poured his heart out to friends in an e-mail Friday – saying that "I did a great deal of damage to my brain" with drugs and "now that they've all worn off, I'm facing the consequences."

The star (real name: Stephen Glover), known for outlandish stunts and reckless behavior, revealed in stark terms how he landed in the hospital on a 72-hour psychiatric hold – which he now says has been extended another 14 days.

"I suppose it is an ironic 'eye for an eye' situation that I am in, coping with the lowest 'lows' that I've ever experienced – as a form of punishment for the emotional distress that I have put my loved ones through with the self-destructive behavior that led me here," he wrote. (Read the complete e-mail here.)

Confirming that he is "really in the looney bin," Steve-O writes that he initially believed that "I am an extraordinarily 'tough' individual [and] I could handle it, and my legacy would be comprised of only that which could be described as 'intense.'"

But he now realizes his behavior, specifically his drug abuse – which was documented in a shocking YouTube video circulating around the Web – "was a bunch of manic bull---- that made little-to-no sense and, furthermore, was devastating to those who love me the most."

Closing his note with a maxim he attributes to himself ("Be real careful, don't misbehave...That's all you gotta know to be saved..."), the reality star encourages friends to share his e-mail widely, signing off, "I love you all."

Several friends have followed up with immediate concern. Rocker Tommy Lee wrote back to the mass e-mail chain, asking, "You ok dude!?!?!......"

Does anyone know which Youtube vid he's talking about? Either way, don't care for this guy at all! Or any of the aptly names Jackasses.

Whatever. He'll be pulling dumb stunts in a week.

I've always found Steve-O to be an annoying, disgusting, idiot. I've never found him funny or entertaining. It's almost satisfying to see him suffering for his blatant public drug use, stupidity, and disgusting behavior. I'm not completely heartless, but really...what did he expect?

He is a dumb stunt, or something like that.

Once brain cells are dead they don't come back. I could never stand these losers anyway so if that's what they did for fame and money, I guess it's time to pay the piper. Instead of jackass it should be dumbass IMO.
