Spencer Pratt - ‘THEY BULLIED ME'

THE REALITY STAR SPEAKS OUT ABOUT A DARK TIME DURING HIS EARLY DAYS OF FAME

- Melissa Field

He’s reality TV royalty, but Spencer Pratt has talked about how difficult the earliest days of his fame were for him. “I was very volatile and emotional during the earlier seasons of The Hills because of how shady the production on the show was back then,” the 37-year-old tells WHO. “At that time, I felt like it was a team of adults against [now wife] Heidi [Montag] and I. It was like, ‘If you don’t do this, you won’t get millions of dollars and we’ll sue you.’ So I was, like, 22 and did what they wanted me to do. I became the villain guy, but I had no say in that. If I look back on it now, I was bullied.”

Pratt is speaking out ahead of the second season launch of The Hills: New Beginnings. The iconic docuseries returned to screens in 2019 and reunited the cast of The Hills, which aired between 2006 and 2010. Both series follow the friendships and enmities between castmates, including Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner, Whitney Port, Justin “Bobby” Brescia and “Speidi”, as Pratt and Montag were dubbed.

FAMILY GUY

“Heidi is a literal angel,” Pratt says of his wife. “Despite all the hate she’s had over the years, she calms me and Gunner down and has such a peaceful energy.”
