In an interview with The TODAY Show’s Al Roker on Monday, newlyweds Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag — of MTV’s The Hills – responded to public backlash surrounding their controversial tenure on the NBC summer reality series I’m A Celebrity….Get Me Out Of Here.
“I’m not ashamed,” Heidi replied in response to Al’s grilling. But apparently reality television’s most hated couple walked away a little disappointed with the “way they were treated.”
“I’m still trying to figure out, was the weatherman asking us questions? I thought we were getting interviewed by Matt Lauer or something,” Spencer complained in a post-interview chat with On-Air With Ryan Seacrest. “Next thing you know, I’ve got the guy that tells me if it’s rainy or sunny trying to ask me questions. So we were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi….”
Heidi added, “I was shocked at how rude he was – I was crying afterwards because I couldn’t believe I felt personally attacked. I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you’re talking to me right now? I’m just a young woman and you’re coming at me so aggressively and meanly and mean-spirited. I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all.”
“To be honest, I would never be interviewed by that man again…”
And it appears the feeling is mutual — Al can’t stand Speidi either!
“Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for…being infamous,” he Tweeted after the interview. “Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we’re at minute 11 of their 15.”
