Wahler, 30, previously struggled with an alcohol addiction, which eventually drove him to attempt suicide. In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Tonight, he revealed that it was ultimately his overnight fame with the hit MTV show that led him to trouble.

“It ignited my addiction and things started to domino effect right before my own eyes, and before you knew it, it got out of control and I couldn’t handle it,” Wahler explained.
