"The Hills"

During "The Hills", she started dating Spencer Pratt. She later married him, but the other people on "The Hills", especially Conrad, hated Pratt. Because of this, Montag and Pratt became portrayed as "the villains" of the series.
Montag and Pratt were removed from "The Hills" in 2010. This was after Pratt had told one of the producers that he would kill him.[3] Pratt was ordered to take anger management classes, but even after that, they would not rehire him and his wife.[4] Montag had also filed charges against The Hills creator Adam Divello, claiming sexual harassment.[5]

Personal life

In July 2010, Montag filed for divorce. Tabloid magazines and others suggested that this was fake, because the couple were still seen together in public. They told press that they were on "friendly terms" but still divorcing. In September they called off the divorce and renewed their vows.
Plastic surgery
Montag has made headlines for her plastic surgery. She has undergone nose correction, chin correction, suction of fat off her hips, many others and best known, a breast enlargement. In 2010, she had ten surgeries in one day, which almost killed her. Montag "upgraded" her breasts to the maximum size. Later, after her surgeries, she said that she could not live with the size of her breasts, and wants to have them reduced back.
