Varone added, “I’m overwhelmed by all the love and support from my amazing friends and fans and look forward to seeing and thanking each and everyone of you personally when we hit the road. I’m truly grateful and I love you all.”

In April 2009, Varone participated in Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew, a VH1 spinoff of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew that features celebrities being rehabilitated for sex addiction. In the first episode, Varone revealed that his sex addiction worsened after his mother died from a cerebral aneurysm in 1998. Another pivotal moment occurred when his maternal grandmother Josephine died during the taping of the show.
