Jessica Simpson has always denied reports, despite Margera's boasts during interviews that he briefly dated the pop star. Oh, and dont forget Steve-O's on-air blast on the whole deal!!

And now... Bam is coming clean about the romance, admitting his Simpson fling came to an end when his former fiancee found out about it. Saying:

 "We were seeing each other for a while -- but that whole Hollywood thing just isn't me. I guess it was good it happened though.

"The stories about me and Jessica prompted my ex, who I had been seeing on and off, to go nuts. She went crazy.

"She broke thousands of dollars worth of at my house and all the rest of it -- but at least it gave me a good excuse to dump her. "I got rid of her after that, so, in a way, I can be grateful to Jessica Simpson. She helped me on the path of true love."
