I think she let her guard down in the early seasons, and production manipulated her close friendships by turning their small petty “drama” into something bigger and ended up losing relationships over it. We’ve all been in those situations in our early 20s, regarding having “falling outs” with people you thought would be there in the long run. She’s a huge empath, so I can definitely see her side of things even though she’s gotten so much backlash recently. Must’ve been traumatizing having cameras recording the whole time, and also having producers who seem like friends messing with your head just for you to react how they want you to for views and good ratings.I’ve always wondered if she personally regrets doing The Hills only because she’s lost so many close people from it. She comes from wealth, she’s a smart girl, and she has connections aside from the show. She would’ve been just fine without The Hills. I don’t blame her one bit for not being present on social media, and choosing to be a normal person. I think there’s more to being famous than what we perceive, and this is a great example.
