Audrina Patridge confesses to faking it on The Hills

In what may be the world's least surprising admission, Audrina Patridge said the producers of her former reality series The Hills manipulated the show's stars to pump up the drama.

Patridge, in a chat with Giuliana Rancic and Ali Fedotowsky, said producers would keep the cast from leaving until they got the fights they wanted.

"In the beginning, a lot of it was real," Patridge said. "As it went on, it was very manipulated and guided and you're kinda put in these scenarios where you would show up and you didn't know what you were in for until you were there, and you wanted to run out but they lock the door on you."

{q:"I actually had to leave early for another event, we were there for about three hours and they were like, 'You can't leave until you and Kristin get into a fight,'" she said of her costar, Kristin Cavallari. "So I'm like, 'Oh my God, Kristin!' Kristin's like, 'Let's do it.' I'm like, 'OK, c'mon.' It was about Justin [Bobby] and we did it and we got to leave. So, little things like that."

Patridge's comments mirrored similar statements from Cavallari last month.

"I faked relationships, faked fights," Cavallari said. "I don't care anymore. I can tell you. At this point, it's been so many years."
