Kovar had famously battled drug issues -- and sought help for cocaine and ecstasy during his stint on "Celeb Rehab."

While on "Real World: Hollywood," Kovar entered rehab halfway through the season for alcohol and drugs, admitting he'd struggled with substance abuse for years. It was a pretty powerful moment on the show.

LOL nope and his season was one of the last g.o.a.t seasons of the real world. That buff white dude on the season with greg was one the g.o.a.t cast members in real world history next to puck from san francisco. All dude did was work out, take steroids/snort coke in secret, get shitfaced drunk and wanted to fight everybody in the house except greg lol!!!!!!! He got kicked off before greg. You obviously haven't seen that season.

Hell yea I remember Greg and that damn coat. C/S this being one of the last g.o.a.t seasons. I'd buy this season if it was on DVD. This is the only season in Real World history where the majority of the cast was Black. That's what made Hollywood trillaaa

Dude with the roid rage was g.o.a.t also on that season. They came home he working out and drinking. They get ready to leave and he's like "hold on guys, 1 more set" lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only greg wasn't scared of his crazy ass lol. Greg exposed that one broad trying to act all holier than though. Nigga found out her lesbian secret and stayed reminding her of it. Did he call her family and tell them or did he say he was gonna do it? I don't remember lol.

All he did in his confessional was talk about how in shape and perfect he was. greg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yo that nigga greg was like cell from dragonball z

"I'm perfect" lol

*dead*
I remember when their job was to work @ some improv comedy club or some shit, and on their first day of orientation Andy Dick showed up and Greg was like, "excuse, who are you? are you famous or something?"
but on the old IC niggas use to call that alcoholic, Joey, Vegeta....son was swollen for no reason. How the fuck you 5'6", diesel, and losing arm wrestling matches to nerds?
and there was another hoe ass nigga on that season....I forgot his name but he was short, white, got duffed out and dropped by some dude in the club and did nothing. The albino bitch was more trill than that faggot

I remember that roid head lol. I just typed his name into google. This idiot does look like vegeta

HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

"YOU GUYS JUST WATCH, JUST WATCH!!!!. YOU'RE GOING TO WAKE UP ONE DAY........................AND...............AND.......... JOEY'S NOT GONNA BE HERE ANYMORE"

THAT WAS THE G.O.A.T MELTDOWN ever seen on t.v. That shit scared the fuck out of me. The m.t.v crew was afraid to approach him lol!!!!

Greg was the only person brave enough to go near him.

Joey Kovar -- 'Real World' Star ODs on Viagra, Cocaine and Alcohol

"Real World" star Joey Kovar died after taking what could turn out to be a lethal mixture of Viagra, cocaine and alcohol... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Our sources say ... Thursday night, just before midnight, Joey went to a woman's house in Chicago Ridge, Illinois, told her he'd been doing cocaine ... and asked her to drive him to a location where he could score more coke. The woman, Stacey Achterhof, rebuffed his request, and asked him to stay at her place.

We're told Joey, who was also fueled up on alcohol, took "some Viagra" and messed around with Stacey ... but they did not have sex. At some point Stacey fell asleep, and when she awakened early Friday morning she found Joey bleeding from the nose and ears.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... his eyes were also "blackened" -- something that frequently occurs when someone ODs.  Law enforcement sources tell us they suspect Joey had an aneurysm.

Stacey was interviewed extensively by cops on Friday. We're told she says she saw Joey take Adderall and Xanax in recent weeks -- and multiple sources close to Joey tell us although they were prescribed, he often took more than called for by doctors.

There's no indication, at this point, Stacey will be charged with a crime.

As for Joey, toxicology results will take weeks, but our law enforcement sources say they believe the results will show a fatal combo of Viagra and cocaine and alcohol.
