[The Limey] – I’m not the man’s biggest fan and I’ve never seen the show, but the way Spencer Pratt disappeared from MTV”s tiresome ‘reality’ slapstick ‘The Hills’ is too much to stand.
The story, first floated by People said the 26-year old actor was leaving because he’d found “a new passion and new purpose to my life,” when President Obama announced that online security was at serious risk, and Spencer explained he would use his superior intelligence to protect us mere mortals from harm.
But that’s not the real story.
THG says Spencer was actually benched for six weeks after he ‘flipped out’ on a female producer who asked him to do something stupid. [Exactly what is unclear.]
“I should kill you for even asking me to do that!” was his apparent reply.
And here comes the sick part – Instead of growing a spine and fighting her own battles, the ‘victim’ promptly filed an official complaint with MTV’s bosses and Spencer was given a choice – Quit for six weeks or be fired.
And he has to complete an ‘anger management’ course before they’ll allow his return.
As I said, I’m not his biggest fan by any means, but this man is being both victimized and portrayed as a psycho by an MTV flunkie who used both her sex and her superior place in the MTV food-chain to blame Spencer for something solely provoked by her own dumb behavior.
And not one of her female peers sees one thing wrong with that. Swap the genders and those same people would be having a fit.
I stand four-square behind Spencer. What he did was provoked and no more than words. He should be restored to the show with an on-air apology, and the cause of the problem should both face and accept the blame she deserves and lose her own job.
Yes, I know – Fat chance!…
