For years, Kovar, a personal trainer and aspiring actor had battled addictions to alcohol and drugs such as cocaine, Ecstasy and methamphetamines as well as steroids. His substance abuse was a plot point on 'The Real World: Hollywood,' which aired in 2008. He at one point left the cast members' house and entered a rehab program.
Kovar later sought treatment as a cast member on Dr. Drew Pinsky's VH1 series 'Celebrity Rehab' in 2010.
