Jackass star Steve-O, who’s real name Steven Glover, is being held at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after a threatened suicide attempt.
The 33-year-old was taken to the emergency room Sunday afternoon after he emailed suicide notes to several friends over the weekend, blaming a broken romance. He was drug tested and admitted to Thalians Mental Health Center, known for crisis intervention, where he caused a scene and said he wanted to “break every bone in his body on by one.”
Steve was treated for burns that appeared to be self-inflicted, and was put on a 72-hour hold, which has been extended to 14 days.
According to Star magazine, Steve-O is suffering from untreated bi-polar disorder and is in “extreme mania.”
“His concerned friends and family are hoping he’ll seek treatment. He doesn’t need jail, he needs therapy. We’re just really hoping that this will be the wake-up call that gets him back to himself.”
