“For those who don’t know, earlier this year I was in a bad accident and really got hurt,” he said.
I had to take time off to heal and recover and I was going through a lot at the time as well.
“I’m much better now, I got all the help I needed.”

Von Moger was left in an induced coma and fought for his life after falling from a second-story window at his home in Geelong, Victoria on May 6, 2022.
He had returned to his hometown to live in October 2021, after spending seven years in Los Angeles pursuing his bodybuilding and acting career.
However, shortly after returning, he found himself in trouble with the law after a road rage incident in Melbourne on January 26, 2022, where he stabbed another motorist’s tire with a knife.
Just a few days later, he was pulled over for driving without license plates, and police discovered amounts of methamphetamine, cannabis, testerone, proviplex, and viaplex.
He escaped conviction after pleading guilty to a series of charges, after his lawyer told the court that he had been traumatized by a carjacking in Los Angeles.
“Unfortunately, it got out of control soon after,” the Herald Sun reported that his lawyer said.

With no conviction on record for the incidents, von Moger was able to return to the US, where he has a young son.

After recovering from the fall, von Moger checked into a rehab center to fight his drug addiction.
Posting on Instagram, a member of his team told fans it was going to be a ‘long road’ to the athlete’s recovery.
“Everyone who has ever been through addiction or had someone in their family with addiction knows that it’s not an easy road,” he said.
