Stephen Colletti says the producers of Laguna Beach made him look like a fraud

Stephen Colletti explains the matter.

In the last episode of his podcast “Back to the beach”, The reality TV star told her co-host and ex-girlfriend Kristin Cavallari that he didn’t like the fact that he looked like a cheat while filming Laguna Beach.

In the early seasons of the show, Colletti and Cavallari, who dated when they were teenagers, were apparently involved in a love triangle with co-star Lauren Conrad. However, he argued that it was due to the way the program was edited.

“I had a huge problem with that because, look, they apparently made this show around this love triangle and there are times when you and I were broken up,” the 36-year-old actor told Cavallari.

“AND [producers] I found out that Lauren and I get together and we are very good friends and, you know, of course something happened at certain times, but at no time we were together, did I not perform that way.

Colletti – who recently became the official Instagram account with his girlfriend Alex Weaver – added that seeing this jagged version of reality “boiled the blood”.

Cavallari, who was only 17 years old when Laguna Beach was first aired, added that “everyone on the show” had to fit into certain “boxes”, whether it suited their personality or not.

“They decided,” Okay, this is how we make Stephen look like, and I don’t care what’s really going on in his life, “she explained. “We’re going to keep hitting this house and going back to the same storyline.”

Former reality stars agreed that while producers “filled the gaps” with whatever story they wanted, they did so with entertainment television in mind.

“With the genius of editing them, you have to convey this to them, they really made this plot,” Colletti said, adding that the people on the show “had no idea they could pull out some parts of our sentences and then put them together” to create a “storyline matching their narrative.”

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old founder of Uncommon James felt like she was “always the bad guy” and she didn’t have the opportunity to tell her side of the story when the reality series aired in the early 2000s – long before Instagram or Twitter times.

Said Colletti, “They’re so lucky we didn’t have social media at the time because you know I’d be on all of this saying,” It didn’t happen here “and” That’s not true. “

In the previous episode, Cavallari also talked about how she was considered a “villain”, saying that the producers packaged her right from the start.

“I think [producers] of course, from the very beginning I saw from me that I am someone who says what I think, said Cavallari, who also appeared in the 2006 spinoff “The Hills”.

“I had a strong personality. I have a strong presence and I think it is much easier to manipulate and edit as a villain than any other personality type, she continued.

Earlier, Cavallari told Page Six that she and Colletti got very close while recording the new podcast.

She said, however, that something romantic was brewing between them.
