ANGRY AUDRINA
Audrina Patridge reveals The Hills producers ‘REFUSED to let her leave’ unless she filmed ‘fight’ with Kristin Cavallari
THE Hills alum Audrina Patridge has blasted MTV producers for allegedly refusing to let her leave the set until she filmed a fight scene with co-star Kristin Cavallari.
The reality star, 37, has admitted in her new book that she was "furious" with the production team for the way in which she claims they forced her to stay on set.

In her , which released on Tuesday, Audrina opened up about how some of the show's scenes were forced, including a "explosive" moment with Kristin, 35.
The women had multiple onscreen fights over Audrina's ex, Justin Bobby, but the 37-year-old revealed that one in particular came out of the blue, and she was not happy about it.
She explained in her book that by the end of The Hills, she and Justin had called it quits, and while she thought that’d mark the end of his time on the reality show, it wasn’t.
“He worked with the show to manufacture a relationship with Kristin to keep him in the public eye, which pissed me off,” Audrina claimed.

This led to an on-set experience that the reality star said she’d never forget, as she was “furious” with the show’s producers for how they handled everything.
She began: “I had moved on from Justin and was already dating someone else, but the producers wanted to keep that off-camera and have my continued focus on Justin as a romantic interest.
“Heidi and Spencer thew a party at their house, and many of us were there filming.”
Continuing, the mother-of-one claimed: “I had an event at the Roosevelt to go to afterward, but when I went to leave, the producers wouldn’t let me go until I had that confrontation with Kristin over Justin.

“There really wasn’t much for me to say to her. I was finished with Justin and I really didn’t care if Kristin and Justin were hanging out—especially because I knew it was just for the show.”
That wasn’t what the show wanted, though.
Audrina claimed that producers were so "adamant that [they] get an explosive scene…that they blocked in [her] car with production vans and wouldn’t let [her] drive away” until they got the fight.
She wrote about how “furious” she was about it all, saying this went “way beyond anything they’d done in the past to get the scene they wanted.”
“I literally couldn’t leave,” Audrina claimed. “I called my lawyer and my agent, and then my lawyer called the producers to remind them of my legal rights while filming the show.”
In the end, she said Kristin grew tired of waiting around and helped to calm her down.
They were able to film the scene, where they “yelled and glared,” and then they both “laughed” about it all once they were done shooting.
Aside from opening up about her on-and-off relationship with Justin Bobby, Audrina also dished in her new book about her close friendship with co-star Brody Jenner.
She shared: “We could sit for hours and never run out of things to say. Brody is so intelligent and we’re both so passionate about many of the same things.”
“We’ve always had a fun, flirty relationship,” the mother-of-one revealed, "but we never took our friendship to that place.”
The reality star explained that they were both always in other relationships and have always “prioritized [their] friendship above any possible romantic feelings.”
She’s currently single, while he’s been dating surfer Tia Blanco for a few months.
Still, Audrina admitted: “It’s only recently that we acknowledged that we both have had crushes on each other over the years.”
Both starred on MTV's The Hills and returned for its revival, The Hills: New Beginnings, which began in 2019 and lasted two seasons.
After getting out of a turbulent marriage to her ex Corey Bohan, with whom she shares 6-year-old daughter Kirra, Audrina said it was nice being able to have Brody to “confide in.”
She went on: "We became so close that I came to trust him more than anyone else on the show. I knew he had my back, and vice versa.
“There was a lot of mutual respect and admiration . . . and maybe more.”
They’re both focused on their own personal lives right now – her on her daughter, him on his girlfriend – but Audrina admitted in her book that there “definitely something between” them.

She added: “You never know what will happen. As a wise man once said, ‘Truth and time tell all.’”
Audrina’s new memoir, Choices, was released on Tuesday and also features stories on “disloyal” former co-stars, exes, and the making of The Hills.
