Stephanie Pratt: "The Hills Saved Me"

Recent press reports have claimed that starring in The Hills gave Stephanie Pratt an eating disorder. But the reality star has told OK! that these rumors couldn't be further from the truth. If anything, Stephanie says that the show saved her from the bulimia that she had struggled with since eighth grade.

"I should have died a million times," Stephanie told OK! at the launch of the Charlotte Russe fall collection in NYC.

"I was just partying, trying to fulfill this emptiness that I had for no reason," she admitted.

"In the reports, it says that I’m on The Hills and I’m throwing up. But what the hell am I doing? I’m living a dream life right now, you know," she explained. "I got myself out of it, I got help."

And speaking of transformations, Stephanie says her big bro Spencer Pratt is a new man since his marriage to Heidi Montag.

"Since the wedding, he’s happier and nicer than anyone. He just took my mom and dad out to dinner the other night. He’s been a great guy right now," she told OK!.

"He’s just completely different. They’re in bed at 9:00 reading!"
