[edit] Post-Margera Allegations

On the May 22, 2006 episode of Radio Bam, Bam Margera's weekly radio program on Sirius Satellite Radio, it was alleged that Bam and Jennifer's breakup was very tumultuous, especially in the period immediately after. Bam accuses Jenn of charging purchases to his credit cards, trying to sell Bam's personal effects (such as Bam's Blockbuster Video card and a tell-all lunch about Margera with herself on eBay [1]), and crashing the Audi S4 he gave her. Bam had given the S4 to Rivell and transferred title to her. Margera alleged that Rivell totalled the car while driving drunk with her boyfriend and fled the scene of the accident. She then allegedly transferred the title back to him, put Bam's old license plate on the car, and told the police it was Bam's in order to place the blame on him. Bam's uncle, Don Vito, also alleged that Jenn was receiving disability payments due to an addiction to cocaine.[2] The July 31, 2006 episode of Radio Bam revealed more information on the break-up between Bam and Jenn. Bam said that Jenn had trashed his video editing room and equipment reacting to media reports of an alleged Margera affair with singer/actress Jessica Simpson (allegations which Margera originally firmly denied, but later confirmed to Us Weekly and Howard Stern [3]), and that was the last straw that made him break up with Jenn. Bam claimed to have been considering breaking up with Jenn before and had also had an affair with his current girlfriend and fiancée Missy while still dating Jenn.

On November 3, 2006 Margera filed for a Protection From Abuse (PFA) against Rivell claiming that on October 17, 2006 Rivell climbed the fence to his property, entered his residence through a backdoor and kicked in a bedroom door. The motion was denied but Rivell and Margera settled out of court but Rivell agreed to sign to an order prohibiting her from Margera's residence.[4]
