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

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 ? ? and wanted to fight everybody in the house except greg lol!!!!!!! He got kicked off before greg. You obviously haven't seen that season.deep east oakland p wrote: »? _i_look_like wrote: »@deepeastoaklandp
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
All he did in his confessional was talk about how in shape and perfect he was. greg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>deep east oakland p wrote: »deep east oakland p wrote: »? _i_look_like wrote: »@deepeastoaklandp

Yo that ? 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 ? , and on their first day of orientation Andy ? showed up and Greg was like, "excuse, who are you? are you famous or something?"
but on the old IC ? use to call that alcoholic, Joey, Vegeta....son was swollen for no reason. How the ? you 5'6", diesel, and losing arm wrestling matches to nerds?
and there was another hoe ass ? 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 ? was more trill than that ?
I remember that roid head lol. I just typed his name into google. This idiot does look like vegeta
"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 ? scared the ? 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. -

tmz.com/2012/08/18/joey-kovar-dead-real-world-viagra-? /Joey Kovar -- 'Real World' Star ODs on Viagra, ? and Alcohol
"Real World" star Joey Kovar died after taking what could turn out to be a lethal mixture of Viagra, ? 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 ? ... 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 ? and alcohol.
