She also said the cast received <a href="https://www.insider.com/christine-quinn-swimsuit-on-selling-sunset-2022-5">"wardrobe notes"</a> from production, including instructions to "push up your cleavage."</p><p>"It is a male-dominated industry in the production field," she said (around the 37-minute mark). "They manipulate women. They harass them."</p><p>Quinn called out one specific producer by name for what she alleges was "verbal abuse" and "intimidation tactics."</p><p>"I want to clarify here it's Adam DiVello. Adam DiVello is the one who owns the production company which is the same one who did '<keyword id="13363827" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="the-hills" source="Orion">The Hills</keyword>' and made <a href="https://www.insider.com/heidi-montag-spencer-pratt-relationship-timeline-2019-1">Heidi and Spencer</a> look like they were crazy," Quinn continued. "You know it's all dependent on who is producing the show, and we have to look at what Adam DiVello has done as a whole, as a human being."</p><p>DiVello is the founder of Done and Done Productions, which launched both "Selling Sunset" and its spinoff "Selling Tampa." DiVello and his company also produced "The Hills," its spinoff "The City," and "The Hills Presents: Speidi's Wedding Unveiled" special. He'd previously been a producer on "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," the reality show that "The Hills" was spun off from. </p><p>Quinn also claimed DiVello has had "multiple complaints" filed against him throughout his career, by herself and others. One complaint filed against DiVello by an unnamed person resulted in him not being allowed to "step foot on set with any of the women in the office" because of "misconduct," according to Quinn. In another instance, she said DiVello told her "to go fall down the stairs" and "kill" herself after she was "too honest" about a scene on the show in an interview.</p><p>"I said, 'No, here's what really happened,' to which he was threatening me and yelling at me. There were other people around, there were witnesses to this," she said. "He said, quote, 'Go fall down the stairs and kill yourself.'" </p><p>"It was extremely terrifying," Quinn added. "He's screaming in my face, it was horrifying." </p><p>Representatives for DiVello and Netflix did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.</p><div type="image" title="Christine Quinn leaving a party in London, England, on September 22, 2021." height="1002" width="1333" msid="91696103" hostid="261"></div><p>Additionally, according to Quinn, <a href="https://www.insider.com/heidi-montag-claims-lady-gaga-sabotaged-music-career-podcast-2022-3">Heidi Pratt</a> (née Montag), a star on "The Hills," had previously filed a claim against DiVello over "inappropriate sexual misconduct," though she did not specify when this occurred or go into detail on the allegation.</p><p>While Heidi Pratt hasn't spoken out regarding the allegations against DiVello, her husband <keyword id="13363826" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="spencer-pratt" source="Orion">Spencer Pratt</keyword> appeared to support Quinn's statements <a href="https://twitter.com/spencerpratt/status/1527141889165729794">by responding with a "100" emoji</a> to a tweet from media personality Perez Hilton asking if DiVello should be fired over Quinn's claims.

'Laguna Beach' star Kristin Cavallari says she and Lauren Conrad were 'never friends'

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Kristin Cavallari accused Adam DiVello of bribing cast members to say she had a drug problem. </li><li>She said "The Hills" producer bribed Lo Bosworth with a Birkin bag on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. </li></ul><p>Kristin Cavallari claimed Adam DiVello bribed cast members on "The Hills" to say she had a drug problem with a Birkin bag on an episode of the "Call Her Daddy" published Wednesday. </p><p>"He bribed the girls to call me out on camera for doing drugs with a purse," the former "Hills" star told host <a href="https://www.insider.com/alex-cooper-photo-editing-tiktok-call-her-daddy-2021-9">Alex Cooper</a> at the 16:06 minute mark. "That was difficult and Adam and I got in a huge fight about it," she continued.</p><p>The "Very Cavallari" star claimed she fought back against the allegations by calling out the situation on camera.</p><p>"I would be on camera filming like I know it was Adam, just running my mouth," she said. According to Cavallari, he called her and told her "you have to stop saying that" and she told him "but you did!" </p><p>Cavallari said the producer also <a href="https://www.insider.com/kristin-cavallari-laguna-beach-stephen-room-prom-2022-7">fed false stories</a> to tabloids and created a storyline that she was "doing drugs and was out of control." </p><div type="image" title="Kristin Cavallari" height="740" width="987" msid="93356880" hostid="261" sizebytes="113540"></div><p>"He would create these storylines on the show that were bullshit but then he would go and feed to the tabloids," she continued. </p><p>Cavallari said while she did enjoy partying in her early twenties and does not have any regrets about that period in her life, she disputed the idea that she let things get too far.</p><p>"I was never out of control," she said. "It was never cause for concern." </p><p>"I never needed rehab. No one in my life was concerned about me," she added. </p><div type="image" title="&quot;The Hills&quot; cast members Audrina Patridge, Stephanie Pratt, and Lo Bosworth criticized Cavallari's partying" height="2249" width="3000" msid="93356882" hostid="261" sizebytes="344508"></div><p>In season six, episode one of "The Hills," cast members <a href="https://www.insider.com/audrina-patridge-justin-timberlake-mtv-vmas-humiliated-memoir-2022-7">Audrina Patridge</a>, Stephanie Pratt, and <a href="https://www.insider.com/love-wellness-womens-vitamins-review">Lo Bosworth</a> criticized Cavallari's partying. In a scene filmed at the Eden Roc Miami Beach, Bosworth <a href="https://www.mtv.com/video-clips/ywaai5/the-hills-confronting-kristin">referred to Cavallari as "cracked out" to Patridge and Pratt on camera</a> before Cavallari enters the room to confront them about their whispers. </p><p>"We are worried about you," said Patridge. "Everybody's saying that you're doing drugs," added Bosworth. "Your legs are like tiny, you're wearing sunglasses all day," Pratt said. </p><p>Cavallari retorted that her legs have <a href="https://www.insider.com/kristin-cavallari-social-media-warped-body-image-weight-gain-2022-7">"always been tiny"</a> in the scene.  She pointed out in the "Call Her Daddy" interview that the scene was filmed first thing in the morning and that she had just woken up. </p><p>DiVello is the founder of Done and Done Productions. He produced the MTV reality show "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" and its spinoff "The Hills." "Laguna Beach" followed the life of teenagers in Laguna Beach California from 2004 to 2006. "The Hills" followed "Laguna Beach" star <a href="https://www.insider.com/laguna-beach-podcast-kristin-cavallari-says-lauren-conrad-never-friends-2022-7">Lauren Conrad</a> as she relocated to the Hollywood Hills from 2006 to 2010.</p><div type="image" title="Kristin Cavallari on &quot;Laguna Beach&quot; (left) and in 2020 (right)" height="1500" width="2000" msid="93356883" hostid="261" sizebytes="64600"></div><p>Cavallari began her reality television career as a <a href="https://www.insider.com/kristin-cavallari-and-stephen-colletti-made-2000-for-laguna-beach-2022-7">high school junior</a> on "Laguna Beach" in 2004. She currently co-hosts a Dear Media rewatch podcast called "Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen," which dives into the production process of each episode of "Laguna Beach."  She joined the cast of "The Hills" in 2010 to replace Conrad in season five and was the protagonist of the final season of the show's six-season run.</p><p>Cavallari is not the only star of a DiVello production to criticize his tactics. "The Hills" star <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1320864/spencer-pratt-calls-out-creepy-the-hills-producer-over-heidi-montags-fake-pregnancy-plot">Heidi Montag</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/christine-quinn-selling-sunset-producer-adam-divello-harassment-allegations-2022-5">"Selling Sunset" Christine Quinn</a> have each spoken out about the producer. Cooper asked Cavallari if she knew about allegations that DiVello had harassed Montag. Montag's husband Spencer Pratt <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1YlPDUyxJNFBcbyqF9hvVS?si=s406Kdo-Rk-3ZLRmghb1Zw">alleged DiVello harassed his then-girlfriend during the filming of the reality series on an episode of "Call Her Daddy"</a> published June 15.</p><p>"Spencer did talk about what happened with Heidi. Did you know about that?" asked Cooper.</p><p>"No 'cause that was before I had come on the show," replied Cavallari. "My issue with him was a bribing situation."</p><p>Cavallari named one cast mate she accused of accepting an alleged bribe: "I just hope that Lo learned you always have to get that shit in writing because she never got her purse," she said. "It was a <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/style/how-to-buy-a-birkin-bag">Birkin</a> but you gotta get that shit in writing." </p><p>"Sorry girl, hope it was worth it," she added.</p><p>See the full conversation below. </p><p>Representatives for Adam DiVello and Lo Bosworth did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.</p><iframe style="border-radius:12px" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/7qEHg2IozJwNF3mtYnJ9wW?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0"></iframe>
