Heidi Pratt Gastric Ulcer was the Result of Torture

Heidi Pratt, aka Heidi Montag, was hospitalized yesterday after being taken to a hospital from the set of I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! Today we learned Heidi was diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, and put on antibitics. Heidi has also been released from the hospital.

Heidi claims she was tortured by NBC to the point that she was "convulsively throwing up." How else does a person vomit?

Heidi claims she was held with her husband Spencer Pratt in a dark room for a day and a night with only water, rice and beans. Heidi claims it was designed as punishment because they left the show. One cast member said of their treatment:

"It’s the same as Guantanamo Bay."

Paul Telegdy, NBC’s Exec VP of Alternative Programming, told Ryan Seacrest about holding Heidi and Spencer in isolation as punishment:

"…They are now going to be examined, and their value system utterly deconstructed …These people really are going to bare their souls."

Whatever that means.

Spencer Pratt fired his lawyer for talking him into going back onto the show. Spencer says he now plans to sue NBC. Isn’t he forgetting about the contract he signed with NBC releasing them from liability?

Some cast members claim they want to quit, but their passports have been taken away and they are under guard. That doesn’t sound true since Spencer and Heidi already quit and left the show once, which means they were free to leave anytime they wanted.

Good luck suing over a gastric ulcer, which is most often caused by the Helicobacter pylori, and easily detected with a blood test, and treatable with antibiotics. A gastric ulcer doesn’t form in just a matter of days, it takes time to develop. Gastritis on the other hand could develop more quickly, but with a diet of only water, rice, and beans, there doesn’t seem like much chance for any gastric upset. Unless Spencer has something else to sue NBC over, we’re not so sure he’ll win anything.

Pretty boys and girls should think twice before roughing it in the jungle. The Pratts should consider this a life lesson.

ITV Studios, who produce the show, released this statement today:

"ITV Studios, producers of the series, state that press reports at this time are untrue. ITV has been producing this format around the world for many years and the health of the celeb participants are of the utmost importance. A medic and a doctor are present at the location at all times for all participants. All allegations of the celebrities being deprived of food and water are completely untrue."

If Heidi had a pre-existing condition, like an ulcer, than the Pratts are going to have to look for another payday elsewhere.
