Woman Charged in Bam Margera Assault Claims Star Used Racial Slur

The 59-year-old woman charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment for allegedly attacking Bam Margera with a baseball bat claims the 'Jackass' star used a racial slur during a disagreement.

"I'm innocent, and he's a jackass just like his movies," Elizabeth Ray tells the Philadelphia Daily News. While she says she did not strike Margera, she alleges he called her the n-word during a verbal argument outside of a West Chester, Pa., bar early Saturday morning.

"He called me the n-word," she says. "He uses racial slurs, uses the n-word with black in front of it." Ray denies that Margera was assaulted at all, saying, "I did not hit him, nobody hit him"; however, TMZ has obtained photos of the star being treated at the scene by paramedics.

Margera was taken by ambulance to Chester County Hospital, where he was briefly admitted to the intensive-care unit. Talking to TMZ, 'Jackass' co-star Steve-O said, "I think he is going to be okay."

April Margera, Bam's mother, who is well-known to fans of 'Viva La Bam,' tells the Daily News, "She hit him over the head with a baseball bat, and she hit him while he was walking to his car. There was no fight. She's just crazy and gives him a hard time all the time."

According to reports, this isn't the first run-in between Margera and Ray. Ray lives on the same block as The Note bar, which Bam co-owns, and has allegedly clashed with the star over noise. Ray has previously been convicted of robbery, and in 1992 was acquitted on an aggravated assault charge.

MTV reports that upon release from the hospital, Margera reported to the set of the upcoming 'Jackass-3D.'

Someone needs to clue BOTH of these two in and get both of THEM much needed refresher courses on human civility and ANGER management. Seriously. What a bunch of troglodytes. As if we don't have enough already loose in the world as it is. Loosers. The both of them. Next time- they'll kill somebody- if they keep up the with the hostility/self defense to kill idiotology.

OMG, he had an entire joint in his pocket. Hardened criminal. WOW.. the cops probably spent hours booking him while 2 robberies and a couple of carjackings took place. Glad we got this stoner off the street.... what a freakin JOKE!

Anyone who can hit another person over the head with a bat,, needs some prison time. This man is lucky to be alive.
I dont see how the 59 year old woman, was able to hit the guy with a bat in the first place, unless his back was turned.
If so,, thats all the more reason for her to be in jail.
Some people are plain crazy I guess.

I love my neighborhood. This is seriously right down the street from my house. Awesome

So why was this peace-loving woman carrying a baseball bat? Does she play third base for the local Little League team?

You Mean we are not supoose to use the N word..Heck I spent last night listening to some black people calling eachother that N word half the night. I guess you arent suppose to use that word unless you happen to be one?

By sd

well, if that was the last word your ancestors heard before being whipped and hung, you would not want to be called it too.

there is blood on that slur, now it is on Bam's collar

By Glynna

The article stated he was struck on the back of the head while he was walking to his car. You can't run from what you can't see.

My caucasian husband gets called the n-word by angry black cutomers at his store all the time. Normally it's the kids who he caught shoplifting. Or the parents mad at him for disturing them to let them know that their child was stealing.

By Ljack

Good. That's a repurcussions of being an idiot now days. One could choose the future of your health, livelyhood, reputation, or death. Those who continue racism and ignorance choose to, because theirs enormous information this countries darkest period at your finger tips. I always thought Bamm was a jerk from the way he treated his parents. This is so funny, I wish I could have seen those words fly out his mouth, and then him lying on the cold concrete afterwards. LMAO.

By cherrycola

apparently, you've never seen Bam drink ... he's a fall down drunk. And apparently, his wife is tired of dragging him home from the bars.
