Stephanie Pratt did not hold back when she recently spoke out about her brother Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi.
On a new episode of her iHeartRadio Pratt Cast podcast, Stephanie was joined by Bachelor Nation’s Wells Adams, and the pair spoke about her relationship with her brother.
“We are not on good terms. We are not on speaking terms. I do not consider them my family,” said Stephanie.
She went on to point to a minor confrontation she had with Heidi during a recent photo shoot for the upcoming series The Hills: New Beginnings, but she didn’t pursue the issue with Heidi because of her parents and not wanting to put them through more of it.
She went on to explain that “ever since my brother and Heidi started dating, they were on The Hills … they went AWOL and they were fired from the show and they moved to Costa Rica and they got arrested for illegal weapons.” She added that after the arrest, “my dad got them a private jet, flew them into Santa Barbara, moved them to our beach house. And again, I had a memoir that I wrote … it’s called Made in Reality … but I wasn’t allowed to say any of this because at this point, I was working for my parents. And what that means is I was trying to keep the peace. But here’s what really happened. They had illegal weapons, they got arrested in Costa Rica, they called my father after three years of not speaking to any of us.”
“We had all of our locks changed, it was not a good situation. And so my dad hears from him, he’s arrested in Costa Rica, gets him a private jet, flies him to Santa Barbara, and moves him into our beach house temporarily. They lived there for seven years. Not only did they live there, but Heidi had the gall to redo my mom’s walk-in closet,” she alleged.
“No one knows the real Heidi,” she shared. “Before The Hills: New Beginnings, my mom, my brother and I all sat down and we said we will not let this ruin our family again.”
She added, “I’m done. I don’t care. I’m not protecting them anymore.”
“I’m not going to pretend that Spencer and Heidi are good people like I was doing for most of the series for my parents. For the [expletive] they have done to me recently, I’m done. This is why I moved to London. I’m done,” she continued. “They are the most toxic people I’ve ever met. They are Bonnie and Clyde till they die so if they say this sky is black, all of us are morons for saying it’s blue.”
When Adams asked Stephanie if she would regret talking so harshly about her family publicly, Stephanie responded that it felt good to finally open up about it. “I’m done. I’m done. I’m confident and secure enough in myself to not pussy foot around them. I’m done. I’m going to expose them for who they are,” she proclaimed. “Heidi doesn’t want Spencer to have a relationship with anyone but her. And you know what? That’s fine. I don’t want a relationship with Spencer anymore. Gunner, I will miss the fact that I’m going to miss out on the cutest, cutest, cutest little boy’s early years but it’s not worth it.”
Adams even went on to question if the whole thing wasn’t just for publicity and MTV stirring up drama in promotion for The Hills: New Beginnings which premiere this summer, but Stephanie said the whole situation and drama is very real. “This is me actually exiting my family. I’ve tried to be nice to her for 10 years because I love my brother,” she said. “It never changes. They flip the switch on me and I have no idea…None of it makes sense.”
After the news of the reboot series was announced, Stephanie Pratt admitted that it was like a “nightmare,” and opened up about the twist of former The O.C. star Mischa Barton joining the cast.
