Where is lauren conrad in season 5

The reality star-turned-fashion mogul starred in five seasons, leaving the show in , but not before the world knew her whole life story. Though Lauren went through work woes and boyfriend drama, like her infamous pass on a trip to Paris to instead be with boyfriend-at-the-time Jason Wahler, nothing was more tumultuous than her falling out with Heidi in season three.

The years of her personal life playing out on TV took a toll on the Little Market creator, who is now looking back on her time in the spotlight 15 years later. If you too are curious about Conrad's exit, then read on.

During season 5 of 'The Hills', Conrad shocked everybody by announcing mid-season that she would be leaving the show to pursue other ventures, but fans always suspected that there was more to her exit than just her desire to further her career. Their suspicions proved to be right, as during an interview with Cosmopolitan shortly after her exit, the reality star expressed how she was forced to be nice to her co-star and former best friend Heidi Montag by the producers, and she didn't want to do that anymore.

It's hard to look at somebody who used to be your best friend and say, 'We can't be friends. Too much has happened. Conrad and her best friend Montag ended up locking horns when the latter began dating Spencer Pratt. Conrad openly disapproved of Pratt and felt that the couple was moving too fast. And while her former co-stars, along with their own spouses and children, are ready to start living their lives in front of MTV's cameras again, Conrad is content to stay right where she is, thank you very much.

Though her personal life played out in the tabloids and on-screen on a weekly basis for years, Conrad never fully got used to the spotlight. Pop Innovators special in Though she isn't returning for New Beginnings , Conrad did actually make a brief return to The Hills after she left, though MTV chose not to air the alternate ending she returned to film for the series finale. She also hosted The Hills: That Was Then, This Is Now in in honor of the show's 10th anniversary, spilling behind-the-scenes secrets and opening up about living her life on-camera for the world to comment on.

In that ending, which surfaced years after the finale, Conrad's former beau Brody Jenner returned home after saying goodbye to Kristin Cavallari only for Conrad to be revealed to be sitting on the couch waiting for him, hinting they had actually been together the whole time since she left. It was a clever wink at the endless rumors about faked storylines and even faker relationships over the years, an issue that often frustrated Conrad during her time on the show.

During the 10th anniversary special, Conrad admitted she "definitely felt set up" by producers when she would arrive at a party only to see Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt there after their infamous falling out. The [producers] need that reenacted. Similarly, Heidi told InStyle in that Spencer didn't really propose to her on the beach, even though that's what they recreated on the series.

Heidi told BuzzFeed in , "So originally once Lauren and I split she didn't really want to film together, and I would have to, like, find her at the bar and be like, 'Hey, Lauren! She added, "If I had to do 'The Hills' all over again, I would definitely have stood my ground more with Lauren and just have her be more honest with me. In one of the most iconic storylines of the show, Conrad turns down a summer internship with Teen Vogue in Paris to spend time with her on-and-off boyfriend, Jason Wahler, from her "Laguna Beach" days.

Go meet a new guy. She continued, "Then they were very upset with me for not going to Paris — they were ready to fly a whole crew Honestly, yes, [my decision] did have to do with the relationship, but I was also just at that point where I needed a break from filming.

We broke up, like, two weeks after that scene was shot. Brescia told InStyle in , "My middle name is Robert. My dad's name was Bob, so he was Bobby Brescia. When I was a kid, people would call me Bobby because I look like my dad. He explained that he didn't want his birth name to be featured on the show, so he went by Bobby as an "alias of sorts. However, Patridge kept reflexively referring to him as Justin, and before long, he ended up confusingly being known as both. Though Heidi insists she and Conrad were really friends, other friendships likely weren't as close as the reality show made them seem.

We weren't all friends before 'The Hills ,' and we were kind of friends for the show. Lauren "Lo" Bosworth also told Us Weekly in , "Audrina wasn't friends with us in real life, ever. She just never had much interest in forming a genuine relationship But I would not say that there was ever a real-life feud or animosity.
