A report surfaced on PerezHilton.com about a rumored sex tape starring The Hills’ Lauren Conrad and ex-boyfriend Jason Wahler.
Shortly after the report surfaced, Lauren responded to it on her website:
And she continued to shut down the rumors in an Us Weekly interview the following week, claiming that her life is videotaped “five days out of the week” and that she wouldn’t need “additional footage.”
She also went on to allege that “someone” who was supposedly her friend “didn’t even call or text” her after the news broke. The friend in question, Heidi Montag, responded to the dig in her own Us Weekly interview, saying the reason she couldn’t talk to Lauren was because she was in the hospital recovering from her nose and boob jobs.
Despite Lauren’s denial of the tape’s existence, a rep for SugarDVD.com told TMZ that they were approached by a third party claiming to have the tape, and initially offered $500,000, but later rescinded the offer upon viewing the footage, labeling it “very vanilla” with “no hardcore sex.”
They also retracted the offer upon news of Wahler’s arrest that same week for criminal trespassing and assault, during which he was reported to have shouted numerous racial and homophobic epithets:
“We refuse to support any person who feels that it is in any way acceptable to rattle off racial slurs and slanderous language about African-American people, homosexual people and the police department.”
While Lauren continued to deny the rumors in an interview with Tyra Banks later that year, Heidi & Spencer told Ryan Seacrest that summer that they weren’t too sure if it was a rumor, and Heidi told David Letterman the following year that she even tried to help LC get the tape back.
Spencer told PCD2009 last year that the person who emailed Perez & set the epic feud into motion was Jason Wahler himself, and Spencer continues to maintain this story, telling me this past week: “I didn’t make up any rumor.”
Happy 10 Years!
