LOS ANGELES - 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" 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 him 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.'"
