Lol Kristin only cared about the big fat pay cheque. She was happy to acquiesce with whatever ridiculous storylines they fed her, no matter how awful they made her look. I remember Lauren saying they locked her and Heidi in a room and refused to let them out until they finished filming a scene. Fucked up much!Whitney is married to a producer of The City she asked him on the YouTube rewatch show why the show had ended and he said it was too expensive to film it. A lot of the cast from The Hills have said it was so fake, Kristin said she never dated Justin it was for a storyline so she would have drama with Audrina. Producers would set them both up to have an argument on camera, and again would not let them leave until it happened.I do wonder how producers manipulate the cast, I think some cast members just see as job and just turn up and stir the pot and others take it to heart more.Maybe Steph was easier to manipulate more, I feel bad her if she didn’t know Josh was breaking up with her on camera.
Steph was definitely fragile from the outset; she had a really bad crystal meth addiction in her teens, and was arrested for DUI, and that was before The Hills. She was always very lost and getting caught up on tumultuous, toxic relationships (including with family members and friends). And then she developed an eating disorder on The Hills, lost a scary amount of weight.
I think MiC massively preyed on her fragility as much as The Hills did. Josh was the nastiest bloke to appear on MiC, really abusive and controlling. It's outrageous and really sick that the producers ran with filming that storyline.
