Al Roker Interviews Heidi And Spencer Pratt – Speidi Cries Foul

So much for the experience on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! humbling Heidi and Spencer Pratt.

Al Roker interviewed Speidi this morning on the Today show and managed to shake-up the couple so much, Heidi cried and they had to run to Ryan Seacrest for support.

Roker went for the jugular right from the start, telling the Pratt brats, “There are those that say you are the poster children for everything that is wrong with celebrity in this country.”

In defense of his behavior on the show, Spencer Pratt said, “I’m not an actor. I wanted to be the villain.”

When Al Roker asked Heidi Montag if she was proud of her behavior on the show, she responded, “Sure. I’m not ashamed.”

Roker also questioned the couple’s “spirituality” asking Spencer Pratt, “You describe yourself as a ‘new Christian.’ You were baptized by Stephen Baldwin. Is that part of a ploy?” Spencer defended himself but was clearly upset at what he felt was a lack of respect from Al.

The couple also denied their claim of being tortured by the show.

After the Today show interview the Pratt brats called Ryan Seacrest to whine. Spencer was upset the show didn’t treat them like A-list celebrities and that Al Roker interviewed them, instead of Matt Lauer.

“I’m still trying to figure out, was the weatherman asking us questions?” Spencer @@@@@ed, “I thought we were getting interviewed by Matt Lauer or something.”

Then Heidi Pratt took it to a whole new level, accusing Al Roker of being aggressive and rude.

“I was shocked at how rude he was, I was crying afterwards because I couldn’t believe I felt personally attacked. I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you’re talking to me right now? I’m just a young woman and you’re coming at me so aggressively and meanly and mean-spirited.”

“I just wanted to talk about the show and my experience there and how fun it was, and he just made it a very uncomfortable and awful experience. I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all.”

Oh boo hoo Speidi! Get over it. You’re in the spotlight, where you placed yourself, and now you have to take what comes with it. Including interviews from weather men that make you cry.
