Jason Wahler walks the 18th Annual Race to Erase MS fashion show earlier this year in Century City, California.
He wasn't necessarily the guy you brought home to meet mom and dad when he first popped up on "Laguna Beach." Actually, if we recall correctly, high school sweetheart Lauren Conrad's parents made it clear to Jason Wahler that they didn't want much to do with him. It seems making out with someone other than your exclusive girlfriend at a fashion show benefit carries its consequences. But we digress...
After a string of public mess-ups, a stint in "Celebrity Rehab" (where he was the nice guy by default) and one, two or 55 drunken LC-beratings in public circa Season 1 of "The Hills," Jason Wahler says he is on the straight-and-narrow and has no intention of turning around or looking back. And it sounds like he means it.
"I needed to humble myself a lot," Wahler, who works as a mentor and sober companion, told People. "A lot of those [Laguna] people knew me before all the bad stuff, and thankfully I've been able to rekindle a lot of my old friendships."
More power to the guy! He's come a long way since ruining New Year's Eve.
