Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, reality TV’s forever duo and champions of hummingbird crystals, are turning up the sass in response to the online backlash. Why? Because their Pacific Palisades home tragically went up in smoke thanks to the wildfires in Southern California. And to add fuel to the fire (pun intended), fans started donating to help them rebuild their lives—and not everyone is happy about it.
Spencer’s Hot Take: “It’s Like Merch, But Make It Charitable”
Spencer, 41, got straight to the point in his interview with Us Weekly, saying, “Look, people can do whatever they want with their money. Buy a $7 latte, a $300 celebrity cameo, or help us not live in a tent. It’s their call!” He then added with the zen of someone who owns a thousand crystals, “It’s not like we’re holding a GoFundMe gun to anyone’s head. If people want to send us a toaster or a latte via Amazon wishlist, who are we to stop their generosity?”
Apparently, the backlash started when a GoFundMe and an Amazon wishlist were launched by some very motivated TikTok fans. Spencer was quick to point out, “We didn’t even start it. Fans did it! Like, sorry for having fans who care? Blame them!”
Heidi’s Latte Math: “It’s Just Coffee, People!”
Heidi, 38, chimed in to debunk the myth of celebrity wealth. “People think we’re out here Scrooge McDucking into piles of gold coins. Newsflash: We’re not,” she quipped. “Most of the donations are like five bucks. That’s literally a coffee. So if you donated, congrats—you bought us a latte. Thanks, we needed it!”
Spencer doubled down, saying, “Sure, some donations are bigger, but we’re not out here sending champagne thank-you notes. It’s just kind-hearted people helping out, one organic egg at a time.”
The Great Celebrity Net Worth Conspiracy
Apparently, some people just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that Heidi and Spencer aren’t swimming in reality TV riches. “Google says my net worth is $1,000,” Spencer revealed, sounding both exasperated and amused. “For 15 years, the internet has been yelling ‘BROKE’ at me. But now our house burns down and suddenly we’re ‘rich celebrities’? Make it make sense!”
Heidi added, “We’ve been Snapchatting our daily lives for over a decade. If anyone’s been paying attention, they know we’re living that ‘Mexican takeout and organic eggs’ lifestyle—not exactly Kardashian money.”
Spencer’s Final Word for the Trolls
“Look, the people calling us out are just haters,” Spencer declared, clearly unbothered. “The ones donating are our real supporters. They’ve seen our journey from bougie to budget. It’s not like we’re secretly billionaires moonlighting as broke influencers. We’re just regular people who got hit hard.”
And with that, Heidi and Spencer left the haters to their keyboards, sipping their donated lattes while plotting their next comeback. Whether you love them or love to hate them, one thing’s for sure: this fiery duo isn’t going anywhere—except maybe Amazon’s “Top Wishlisted Couples.”
