Lauren Conrad Slams Tabloid Headline

On a recent cover of tabloid rag Us Weekly, The Hills' Lauren Conrad is featured next to the brazen headline, "How I Was Stabbed In The Back"... which would be intriguing, if that was actually how the young reality star felt.

Feeling taken advantage of, LC did what so many of her contemporaries do when faced with scandal — She wrote about it on her MySpace page.

"Hey! I just wanted to take a moment to clear something up," begins the post. "I recently did an interview to talk about the show coming back on and what everyone had to look forward to. Unfortunately it was turned into yet another 'poor me' story."

The 22-year-old MTV star continued, "The article itself is a nice one but it follows headlines that, in no way, represent my words or feelings. I do not feel betrayed by Audrina or Brody. I love them both and said nothing to contradict this. I understand that headlines sell magazines, but I value my friendships above magazine sales any day."

For those of you who want to see the drama for yourselves, the new season of the hit reality show starts Monday on MTV. And Lauren herself had this to say about what to expect: "On a more positive note, I got to see some of the first episode yesterday and it looks amazing. I’m sooooooo excited for everyone to see Paris. Best wishes and I hope everyone tunes in Monday."
