Margera has maintained his sobriety, despite the incident occurring after a period of public scrutiny regarding his relationship with his fiancée, Dannii Marie, and concerns about his sobriety. He denied relapsing, stating that the argument with Dannii was a misunderstanding, and he was simply stepping outside to smoke a cigarette, which led to the confrontation.

Furthermore, Margera expressed frustration with the police response to his multiple 911 calls, claiming he waited nearly three hours for officers to arrive, only for them to never show up. This led him to take matters into his own hands, which he defended as a necessary action to neutralize the threat and ensure the safety of his crew.

He ended up paying the tattoo artist $400 after the police were called.

The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with some users criticizing Margera’s behavior and the police’s response, while others have expressed support for his actions in defending himself and his crew. Despite the controversy, Margera remains committed to his sobriety, reflecting on his past addiction and how sobriety has changed his life.
