Speaking out on behalf of her brother, Spencer, and his co-star wife, Heidi Montag, Stephanie said that “The Hills” couple was put in a dark chamber with no food or water for 72 hours, causing Miss Montag to be hospitalized after being tortured. Stepping out for charity, Stephanie Pratt was spotted out at the “A Time for Heroes” Celebrity Carnival in Los Angeles on Sunday. On the contrary, an inside source from the show is saying there was no torture, the couple was not held against their will and they were in the chamber for only 14 hours. NBC has no comment, but the show’s production company, Britain’s ITV Productions, refuted claims the couple was deprived of food or water: All allegations of the celebrities being deprived of food and water are completely untrue, the company said in a statement.
