X17 XCLUSIVE - "Lots Of Turmoil" Between MTV & The Pratts
Posted on Thu Apr 15th, 2010 10:48am PDT By X17 Staff
Looks like Heidi and Spencer will not be doing any press for The Hills. A source close to the couple tells X17online exclusively:
A Life & Style report claims that Heidi is suing a Hills producer for inappropriate behavior. Show creator Adam DiVello came up behind Heidi and "grabbed her with one hand on her stomach and one hand directly on her butt cheek," according to L&S. But none of her co-stars are supporting those claims.
Although MTV says the lawsuit is "completely false and without merit," our source says that "this lawsuit is 100% legit. Heidi and Spencer have known that they were going to file this lawsuit for over two years, but they were waiting for the right time." That time is obviously now, just as The Hills is coming to an end.
As for Heidi's claims against DiVello, our source adds:
Heidi's co-stars have been very vocal about not supporting her claims. Lo Bosworth tweeted this week, "I'll repeat it: no one is/has ever been assaulted during filming of our show. hey spiedi, do you know the definition of slander? NOT OKAY."
Apparently Heidi, who is trying to distance herself from being known as "Heidi from The Hills" could care less about what her co-stars think. Our source says, "They don't hang out during their free time anyway."
The reality show couple have been declining all requests for appearances...most recently from The View and CNN.
Do you think this drama is fueling The Pratts celebrity status?
- "There is lots of turmoil right now between the Pratts and MTV. Ever since Spencer got in a fight with a producer, it has been downhill from there. Now with this lawsuit, it's worse."

As for Heidi's claims against DiVello, our source adds:
- "Adam and Heidi have known each other for over 5 years, and he most likely grabbed her to be funny, but it obviously bothered her enough to file a lawsuit. Even though he was probably kidding around at the time, because of his title, it's considered sexual harassment."

- "They want to lay low until after June...after The Hills ends. Too much drama right now."
