Bam's a huge fuckup and is only just skating by not being in jail constantly. Its well beyond cancelling and into legitimate legal and safety problems. They literally cut him from the Jackass reunion thing a few years ago because of it, and those were his closest "friends."
So I'm sure to most of the suits in charge he was bad optics and controversy they didn't want, but Tony is a shockingly nice guy and probably doesn't care about any of that. This series wouldn't be where it was without both of them, skating as a whole might not be, so to Tony he deserved his place.
Its one of those situations where both sides are probably in the right depending on your beliefs.
I don't keep up with him too directly, but everytime you look him up he is either missing on a bender, posting nonsense high as fuck, or locked up in some form of institution.
The man is quite broken and a good look into why skaters/punks should die young for their own good. And I mean that in the least malicious way possible.

Wasn't he also in a mental institution for a good portion of the jackass reunion?

Nothing sadder than an old punk
