It seems like he was famous for being an alcoholic and drug addict. That’s kind of weird.
Anyway, too bad he’s dead.

“Celebrity Rehab”
I like Dr. Drew who oversees that show, but they seem to have a very high fatality rate. These addictions can be difficult to overcome, but it seems like something isn’t right with the treatment...or the treatment is not worthwhile because the damage is done.

Rep. Sean Duffy (R WI) came out of Real World.
Seems each year producers would toss in a castmate with special issues, or they drank too much, sex too much etc.
Pedro died of Aids soon after filming..
Frankie of Rw San Diego later of of cystic fibsosis.

Addiction usually ends in homocide, suicide, or overdose. The hardest thing to do is get off the elevator before it hits the ground floor.

Most people never hear of people who were on Real World, except for The Miz, GOP Congressman Sean Duffy, actress Jaime Chung. Unless you watch MTV and see their reunion Challenge game shows

People come to the public’s attention for various reasons, and then people are curious. Why would anyone watch “Celebrity Rehab” except to watch something unrelated to normal lives, for all it’s called “reality” programming.

Is Congressman Sean Duffy R WI doing a good job? He replaced retiring David Obey Dem.

I’m old enough to remember when MTV first started and, as a 16 year-old, I loved it. Nothing but music videos. Then in the mid-to-late ‘80s they changed and began adding game shows, etc. They also began to take on a more direct leftist slant. I never looked back.
Regarding The Real World, anyone remember an early season that featured a young man (in a cowboy hat) who was a Christian? The rest of the cast gave him lots of grief. I liked him.
