Spencer Pratt: BLASTS Lauren Conrad and Caitlyn Jenner, Makes a Total Ass of Himself
In case anyone needs a reminder, podcasts are totally public. If you’re a celebrity and you go on a podcast and make a total ass of yourself, people are going to find out.
If you come across as a bigot, even if you didn’t mean to, it is not going to stay a secret.
Spencer Pratt seems to have forgotten that, because — on top of bashing Lauren Conrad and then asking why she doesn’t want to work with him — he said some truly unacceptable things about Caitlyn Jenner.
You know, the recent Spencer Pratt has been relatively well-behaved.
Don’t get us wrong, he’s still the guy who blew through millions of dollars in a frighteningly short amount of time.
(That was a collaborative effort between him and Heidi)
But he’s been doing so well. He and Heidi Montag are expecting their first child.
That’s a huge milestone for the legendary reality couple.
(At seven months, Heidi Montag’s baby bump was ginormous! And Heidi is coming up on eight months, now)
It’s seemed like they’ve settled into being people who set realistic goals, instead of people who respond to dwindling finances by spending six figures on crystals because they hope that the energies or vibrations or whatever will restore their bank accounts.
He still likes them. But hey, who doesn’t?
Unfortunately, Spencer recently sat down for an interview for the podcast, Allegedly With Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss.
Spencer Pratt bashes Lauren Conrad, talks about Scientology and Ryan Gosling, discusses his unborn child’s potential dating life … and says some almost unrepeatable things about Caitlyn Jenner.
First, you know how some celebrities accept some nice financial incentives to let a magazine do some exclusive photos — of a wedding or, say, of their new baby?
Spencer and Heidi haven’t gotten any kind of lucrative photo deal, and Spencer blames Lauren Conrad.
“Well Lauren Conrad just blew it for us, having the worst selling magazine cover in the history of the publication. She killed our numbers. She’s supposed to be the queen of The Hills, so all our money just went way down because of her.”
Lauren Conrad’s People cover sold very poorly, it’s true.
“I would rather taken no money to have that happen to her so it’s a win regardless.”
Wow that is spiteful.
You may remember that the conflict between Lauren Conrad and her former friends became a central storyline on The Hills for years until Lauren left.
Apparently Spencer is still feeling that resentment, after all of these years.
Spencer’s explanation for why Lauren Conrad won’t do a reunion with them is, in light of his bitterness, pretty interesting.
“Some people don’t want to share any shine, they’d rather sit on their Instagram account.”
Maybe Lauren Conrad doesn’t want to interact with someone who can’t stand her.
Also, maybe Lauren Conrad didn’t hemorrhage money left and right and is estimated to be worth something like $ 25 million today.
She doesn’t need to do a reunion special if she doesn’t want to.
Spencer says that he’d be okay if his unborn child grows up and wants to date Lauren’s son, Liam.
“If he wants to date Liam, that’s up to him. I personally will be targeting Kristin Cavallari’s $ 100 million + daughter for my son. Kristin, I’ll be such a good in-law!”
Okay, that’s funny. And a nice blow to heteronormativity. A lot of parents just assume that their kid will be straight by default, and they set themselves up for a surprise.
(To be clear, we don’t think that Spencer and Heidi are actually planning to raise their kid to be a gold-digger)
Spencer Pratt says that he and Ryan Gosling used to be neighbors who hung out, and that Ryan Gosling told him some chilling tales about Scientology.
“He told me a story about Scientology that has stuck with me for years. Let’s just say it involved people not surviving heavy shit and I was like, oh wow, this is not something to joke about.”
To be clear, we don’t know where Ryan Gosling would have heard these stories, except perhaps from ex-Scientologists. But we’ve read enough horrific accounts about that organization to never be surprised at what we hear.
Spencer gets really awful now, so … brace yourselves.
He not only deadnames Caitlyn Jenner, but also misgenders her — as if he’d just awoken from a two-year coma.
“I’m Team Kris Jenner. I was Team Brody. Bruce is like the worst person ever. He wouldn’t even call Brody on his birthday and he was in the valley. It’s not like he was in the Czech Republic. He was always bad as a human from what I saw as Brody’s best friend. I had heard he had gotten hormone injections and all that but to me I was like, whatever, maybe that’s Tuesday.”
It’s incredibly rude to misgender someone or use their deadname, even if you’re talking about why they suck. And even if you’re talking about them before they transitioned or before they came out.
Caitlyn is a woman. You can say that she was a piss-poor parent without disrespecting her gender and that of every other trans woman on the planet.
Maybe worst of all is Spencer’s commentary about Caitlyn’s reasons for transitioning or … something.
“It was so back in the day and I loved titties so much, I thought maybe he just wanted titties to rub on, like his own titties, I don’t know. He was a ghost.”
In case it needs to be said, trans women who get top surgery don’t do so because, um, they love boobs so much that they want to touch them.
Part of it is about being able to dress and be perceived as they want to.
Many (though not all) trans woman also experience dysphoria, where their bodies feel wrong until they have top surgery and then things feel like they’ve settled into place, as they should be.
Spencer doesn’t mean anything cruel by this, we think.
He’s probably just still the same idiot we saw on The Hills.
On a brighter note, Spencer and Heidi might be coming back to reality television.
“My own show, the paperwork’s signed. We’ll see if it ever goes onto an actual … one thing I’ve learned about networks is they’ll pay you and maybe the show [will never happen]. I’ve now been paid for two shows, whole seasons, that never went.”
Yep. That’s how scripts and projects end up in limbo or development hell.
A network might think that something’s good enough that they won’t let anyone else do it, but not necessarily good enough to actually develop.
Oh, and Spencer and Heidi don’t have a sex tape. He says that he’d be willing to do one now for $ 10 million.
We’ll just … pass on that.

Kailyn Lowry: Terrified of Losing Custody of Her New Baby?!
Just when you think the drama in Kailyn Lowry’s life is finally starting to settle down …
LOL, just kidding. Why would anyone ever, ever think that?
While she’s never been arrested or spent time in jail or developed a serious drug addiction or started a career in porn like some of her fellow Teen Moms, she’s definitely had her problems.
This year, her main thing was having her third baby with her third baby daddy, something that has — surprise! — turned out to be a little bit of a mess.
She had her baby at the beginning of this month, and he’s very precious and she seems just as happy as can be to have another child.
But still … the drama.
All throughout her pregnancy, we heard that the baby’s father, Chris Lopez, was kind of a fling for Kailyn, and he didn’t stick around after he knocked her up.
Some reports even claimed that he wanted nothing to do with her or their baby, and she seemed to confirm that herself.
In these weeks after Baby Lo’s arrival, Chris has stepped up a little bit, but rumor has it that he’s still struggling with the idea of being a dad.
And, according to one especially alarming rumor, Chris’ mother may be trying to force the role on him by urging him to go for full custody of Baby Lo.
“Chris has no desire to try and take his kid away from Kailyn,” the insider who first revealed this development claims, “but his mom is concerned about visitation rights.”
Not only that, his mother is also concerned about Kailyn’s “lifestyle,” as well as “the fact that she has three children from three fathers.”
Apparently “Chris’ mom really wants Baby Lo to be raised by her family and standards.”
Even though Chris, who we assume was “raised by her family and standards,” chose to impregnate this woman she’s looking down on — and he also nearly abandoned her.
But that’s none of our business.
So if we’re to believe this report, Kaliyn is caring for Baby Lo mostly on her own while also caring for her two other sons, and now she has to worry about all this.
And according to this update on the custody situation from Hollywood Life, she is really, really worrying.
“Kailyn is so shocked and disgusted that Chris would even consider trying for custody,” a source claims. “It’s unbelievable to her.”
“She truly thinks he would never take things to that level, but just the threat of losing her baby is enough to send her into a tailspin right now.”
Poor Kailyn “still has a lot of pregnancy hormones surging through her body,” and “she’s feeling very emotional and vulnerable.”
“Plus she’s looking after a newborn as well as two other kids, so she’s exhausted and sleep deprived.”
She has said that she chose to get pregnant with Chris, so really she should have known that things could get this messy.
But still, it sounds like a terrible situation, and we can’t help but feel sorry for her.
As the insider continues, “Kailyn’s an awesome mom,” and “she’s proved that” — which is true.
She’s definitely made some mistakes and more than a few questionable choices, but Isaac and Lincoln are both happy, healthy, darling little kids, and she had a whole lot to do with that.
Thankfully, the source also says that “Although she hasn’t got her parents in her life, she does have a strong support network around her.”
“None of Kailyn’s friends think it’s a possibility, and they keep reminding her to stay strong and just focus on her children.”
“But that said,” the source goes on, “it’s still really upsetting and frightening and it’s really the very last thing she needs to be dealing with right now.”
Smartly, “Kailyn’s trying to defuse the situation by throwing love at it.”
“She’s being super sweet to Chris’ mom and trying to involve her as much as she can in the baby’s life, and hoping that by doing so she’ll come around and see what a great mom Kailyn actually is.”
Here’s hoping …
