Hmm. I remember at a roast once, that fat bitch Amy Schumer made a joke about Steve-O's recently dead friend–and wishing it had been Steve–and it didn't go over well with him.
You'd have thought being cabal pawns together, they'd have been all chummy over it. Laughing, even.
Perhaps his friend that died in that car crash was offed for speaking out/knowing too much/changing his mind.
They off him, Steve-O falls out with his masters and his fellow puppets for killing his friend, eventually gets that tattoo covered over, decides he was wrong. Only because it's now not working in his favor, of course, but such is the nature of people.
And still a cunt for going with it to begin with.
Just pieces falling together in my almonds.
