Why the Cast of ‘The Hills: New Beginnings’ Is Happy Lauren Conrad Didn’t Join the Reboot
Lauren Conrad’s fellow cast members from The Hills are happy she didn’t return for MTV’s reboot of the reality series. Learn why ahead.
Heidi Montag felt ‘kind of excited’ learning Conrad wouldn’t return
During an interview with Good Morning America, Heidi Montag, who used to be best friends with Conrad before a falling out over Montag’s now-husband, Spencer Pratt, revealed she wasn’t sad when she learned Conrad wouldn’t be returning for the reboot.
She felt quite the opposite.
“I actually was kind of excited Lauren wasn’t on it because I felt like it was more freeing and fair, like, for me,” Montag said.
Audrina Patridge on Lauren Conrad: She ‘would tell you what to do, what not to do’
Audrina Patridge, 34, who took part in the interview along with Montag, explained the dynamic between her, Conrad, and the rest of their co-stars on The Hills.
“She was always the one – she’s the leader, the one that would tell you what to do, what not to do,” Patridge said about Conrad.
Conrad was one of the main characters on the show, if not the main character because The Hills came after Conrad’s success on Laguna Beach as an teenager growing up in Orange County, California.
On The Hills: New Beginnings, things will be different.
“So now it’s kinda like we all get…you kinda get to make your own choices and be your own self,” Patridge added.
Clearly, Montag and Patridge aren’t exactly bummed Conrad didn’t join in on the reunion.

Spencer Pratt thinks ‘The Hills’ reboot is ‘way better’ without Lauren Conrad
