Audrina Patridge on The Hills: “In the beginning, a lot of it was real. As it went on, it was very manipulated”

Previously, former The Hills reality star Kristin Cavallari told Bethenny Frankel that the show was fabricated and heavily staged. Now, her account of what happened is being backed up by her former co-star, Audrina Patridge.

“In the beginning, a lot of it was real. As it went on, it was very manipulated and guided and you’re kinda put in these scenarios where you would show up and you didn’t know what you were in for until you were there, and you wanted to run out but they lock the door on you,” said Audrina.

“I actually had to leave early for another event, we were there for about three hours and they were like, ‘You can’t leave until you and Kristin get into a fight.’ So I’m like, ‘Oh my God, Kristin!’ Kristin’s like, ‘Let’s do it.’ I’m like, ‘OK, c’mon.’ It was about Justin [Bobby] and we did it and we got to leave. So, little things like that,” Audrina added.

Previously, Kristin gave her own examples on Bethenny: ”I faked relationships, faked fights. I don’t care anymore—I can tell you. At this point, it’s been so many years. Laguna Beach, they really just manipulated situations and put us in situations that we normally wouldn’t have been in, or we’d have to film something that maybe happened a month ago or hasn’t happened yet—stuff like that. When I decided to join The Hills, I knew exactly what I was getting into, I knew exactly the character they wanted me to be, so I said, ‘Listen, I’m game. What do you want me to do?’”
