By now you may have heard the Spencer Pratt so valiantly decided to leave “The Hills” to focus on fighting cyber crime. (Spencer is currently studying software engineering USC and shared that he’s headed to work for American Defense Enterprises in their cyber security division.)

He released a statement (see below) that rattled on about accepting the call made by President Obama that we desperately need cyber protection. And then read on to find out what’s really going on.

“In the last few months I have discovered a new passion and new purpose to my life, With this in mind, I have decided to take a break from my obligations to MTV’s The Hills and discontinue filming any more episodes for this current season.”

“Upon learning of President Obama’s declaration that the ‘cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,’ I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented challenges,” he says.

“My new mission is this: To do my part in maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent emerging technologies from threatening our nation’s security. With that being said, I am saddened to take this break from filming MTV’s The Hills. At this time, however I feel I would not be honoring my country or myself if I were to continue this endeavor when I have the opportunity and the ability to assist our nation against these prevalent threats.”

But then…….the truth came out. Spencer was actually asked to leave “The Hills” for threatening a female producer. An insider says that Spencer was asked to leave the show for 6 weeks after he flipped out on one of the show’s female producers.

“He got so crazy that he screamed at [her], ‘I should kill you for even asking me to do that!‘” the source recounts.

The producer filed a complaint and now Spencer has to undergo anger management classes once a week for the six weeks. If he completes them, he can return.
