Hospitalised Steve-O blames drugs

Jackass daredevil Steve-O has written a confessional e-mail blaming drugs for his current hospitalisation.

Jackass’s Steve-O, who is currently in the Cedars-Sinai Thalians Mental Health Centre after apparently attempting suicide last week has poured his heart out to friends in an confessional e-mail. Steve-O says, “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.” In the note the former Love Island contestant revealed how he was originally placed  under the same 72-hour psychiatric hold order Britney Spears was given earlier this year. The order has now been extended by a further 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 behaviour that led me here,” he writes. He then encouraged friends to circulate the e-mail widely, signing off with, “I love you all.” Many friends have followed up with concern with Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee even replying to the mass e-mail chain, to ask “You ok dude!?!?!……”
