Speidi Threaten To Sue NBC Over Alleged ‘Torture’
After we learned that Heidi Montag was rushed to a hospital in Costa Rica due to injuries suffered while filming the competitive reality TV show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! (a show that the couple tried to quit, twice), I had a sneaking feeling that the drama would not end there. TMZ is now reporting that Heidi contracted a stomach ailment due to the conditions that producers of the show inflicted on her and hubby Spencer Pratt. Producers claim that they wanted to “punish” Speidi for quitting the show and then begging to return and as a result, says Speidi’s attorney, Heidi contracted a stomach ulcer and had to be hospitalized. Now Speidi are threatening to sue NBC … natch:
Heidi Pratt was tortured by NBC to the point she was “convulsively throwing up” — that’s what some people on the set of “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!” are telling TMZ. We’ve learned Heidi was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, after being held with hubby Spencer Pratt in a dark room for a day and a night with only water, rice and beans. It was designed as punishment because they left the show. One cast member described their treatment this way — “It’s the same as Guantanamo Bay.” And get this … a cast member tells us NBC execs tried to convince Heidi to stay on the set rather than take an ambulance to a hospital for treatment. She has now left the hospital and is on meds. We’re told some of the cast members want to quit, but their passports have been taken away and they are under guard. Paul Telegdy, NBC’s Exec VP of Alternative Programming, told Ryan Seacrest about holding Heidi and Spencer in isolation as punishment, adding, “…They are now going to be examined, and their value system utterly deconstructed …These people really are going to bare their souls. We’re told Spencer has fired his lawyer (who wanted him to stay on the show) and is now planning to sue NBC over the show. Spencer and Heidi now want out … for good….but there’s a problem — they signed a contract with NBC to do the show. NBC reps did not return our calls …so far.
LMAO! That anyone would equate the bullshizz that happens on a reality TV show like this to the torture punishment doled out at Guantanamo Bay is ludicrous. This whole matter reeks of lame PR for the show and I absolutely cannot believe a word that any of this is actually genuine. As one Pink reader commented, Speidi have cried wolf way too many times to be believed about anything. I’m sure we’ll be hearing about this stomach ulcer for weeks to come … prolly long enough for us to contract our own ulcers. UGH.

Maybe Heidi should pray to Jesus that the ulcer goes away… Jesus helped them double-date with Miley Cyrus, why wouldn’t he heal an ulcer?

Ummm, a dark room for less then 24 hours…with water and food. Sounds like torture to me. lol. Those 2 are such spoiled brats. :)

no worse than survivor…and ppl survive it

You know, I truly hate them. And find this really frustrating. I think they are such a waste of person.
June 7th, 2009 at 11:49 am
They kept them in a dark room for a day and a half? Couldn’t they keep them there forever??!!
The real shame is that they let them out to torture the rest of the world!
June 7th, 2009 at 11:53 am
LMFAO!
overdramatic much?
<3

Omg I once had an ulcer and was told that they could not determine how long I had it !! She could have had an ulcer for years due to her worrying about her piece o shit man cheating on her all the time!!!

Heidi is fugly without her make up on….
June 7th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Its amazing to see how makeup can change someone from fugly to half way pretty.
In any case, I don’t really feel bad for them, but the fact that they’re allegedly being guarded and have had their passports taken away is sort of fucked up. Its like NBC is imprisoning them for ratings. WTF@that. Allegedly.
June 7th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
seriously, they are SO insane it would make me happy to see them disappear in the Costa Rican Jungle! ugh…….I can’t stand to watch them….well done NBC, I won’t watch this show with those idiots on there..
June 7th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
They have kept 2 people in a hole with two hammocks and 50 odd rats for a night in the British version… and other than some hysterical screaming and giggling they were both fine.
June 7th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
perhaps is the devil telling them to do it . O0
June 7th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Can you get an ulcer in one day?
June 7th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Here we go again – These 2 really know how to work the paps & piss off people in order to keep in the spotlight. First, they “quit” the show, then 2 people “covered” by jackets obscuring their faces are bombarded by the paps in an airport because it was SUPPOSED to be Heidi & Spencer – Now this!
-
What a ratings’ coup for a crap show so MORE people will watch it just to jeer 2 apparent idiots. They signed up for it and therefore knew what appearing on this survivor-type show entailed – If not… Someone please tell me the formula for being “so stupid that it pays you more per show than smart people make in a year”.

Hell, with things going the way they are… I’ll ACT like an idiot & dance all the way to the bank.

“held with hubby Spencer Pratt in a dark room for a day and a night with only water, rice and beans”? STFU. the traumatic part of this is being locked up with her tool of a husband. a lot of parents would call that a vacation! time alone? check. in the dark, where i could nap? check. food that someone else cooked for me? check. jeez. i’d take that “torture”…
June 7th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
They need to get over it. They signed up for it, so they should handle it.
June 7th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
“torture punishment” at Guantanamo? I think that’s a little bit harsh. Have you ever been to Guantanamo to see that they have “torture punishment?”
By the way, what is so horrible about being locked in a room with water, rice, and beans?
June 7th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
the sound of crickets.
June 7th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
Im sure they signed some type of contract that states that NBC is not resppnsible for any injuries and sickness they get im sure…..these two are stupid and I really don’t like them.
June 7th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
what is the difference between what supposedly happened to them and hazing??? Just because they are a big TV company and usually hazing happens in greek life doesn’t mean they should get away with it if this really happened….
June 7th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
I’m no doctor but I’m pretty sure you don’t get an ulcer in that short a period of time
June 7th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
what couldn’t have NBC lost the key to the ‘torture chamber’? They would have done themselves and the rest of the world a favor!
June 8th, 2009 at 12:03 am
What a couple of idiots. Wusses who have no talent whatsoever.
June 8th, 2009 at 2:37 am
I tell ya, Heidi probably had a reaction to that dry shampoo she’s spraying in her hair
June 8th, 2009 at 6:01 am
Can somebody please drop these two twats in the middle of the jungle and leave them there!!
June 8th, 2009 at 6:06 am
I hate these 2 so much!!
June 8th, 2009 at 6:43 am
Not to get all technical, but torture requires a purpose, namely to obtain information or a confession. I highly doubt the producers of the show are subjecting Heidi and Spencer to any kind of torture. Maybe I’m wrong but…didn’t they sign an agreement at the beginning of the show?
June 8th, 2009 at 10:50 am
Good call Bess, the equating of “torture” that speidi endured being the same as the “torture” of prisoners at Gitmo is a bit much. Seriously. Please name for me one individual and what specifically happened to that person at Gitmo that constituted torture, and then we can discuss that…. But Speidi – Get real. Just take your meds, quit the show and you will be back to normal in no time.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
SOCIETY’S DEMISE.
June 9th, 2009 at 6:00 am
um…. if anything a diet of rice and beans would be GOOD for an ulcer – unless she was making herself vomit everything up…
