Seems like the more time goes by, the more of our Hills questions get answered. This time, Audrina Patridge is the one revealing interesting facts. On the new E! special, Scouted to Stardom, the former reality star claims she wasn’t recieving any paychecks when filming theHills and because of that, she almost quit. Audrina explained, ”The first season that we filmed, I wasn’t really getting paid at all. I would call the producers and tell them, ‘Listen, I don’t know if I can do this anymore. Like I can’t even pay my rent.”

Besides the fact that she couldn’t pay her rent, Audrina admits that Lauren Conrad wasn’t as nice as she seemed on the show. “Lauren wasn’t that friendly,” Audrina revealed. ”I was like, ‘Wow, this girl does not like me. She’s not nice really.’ Maybe ’cause she doesn’t know me.” While the Hills still was airing, questions swirled about whether Audrina and Lauren‘s friendship was real or not, and it seems like saying it was forced is putting it mildly.

As inseparable as they once seemed on TV, their friendship is now long gone. It was clear back then the two girls were giving theHills its highest ratings ever when they were on the same page. Certain gossip was even kept behind the scenes to keep its viewers. Until bloggers got wind of it, that is. Like that one time Lauren supposedly hooked up with Justin Bobby, Audrina’s on-and-off-boyfriend. We watched the friendship survive after sorting the rumor out, but off-camera things were never the same.

Years later, there are no signs their friendship is still alive, either on-camera or off-camera.
