Things are not going well for Spencer Pratt. Last week, we reported his wife, Heidi Montag, dumped her fellow Hills star as her manager in favour of psychic Aiden Chase.
Now, The Hills has ordered the 26-year-old self-confessed villain to take a six-week hiatus from the MTV reality show.
What’s more, the series is demanding that he take anger management classes after he allegedly lost his temper with a producer.
The Internet has been swirling with rumours about Pratt’s departure from The Hills since yesterday, with some sources claiming he was taking a vacation from TV to work in the cyber security division at American Defense Enterprise.
"All of that stuff about him leaving The Hills to fight cyber crime is not true. He is leaving The Hills for six weeks because he was asked to,” a source told UsWeekly.com.
"He got so crazy that he screamed at (the producer, saying), 'I should kill you for even asking me to do that!'"
The producer complained and execs allegedly ordered Pratt to take the classed if he wanted to stay on the show, the source added.
The Hills began filming its sixth season in January, and it is currently scheduled to première on April 27, 2010, on MTV.
