Early life

edit
]
Stephanie Lynn Pratt is the younger sister of
Spencer Pratt
and the
sister-in-law
of
Heidi Montag
(both of whom appeared on
The Hills
).
[2]
She attended

alongside co-star
Whitney Port
.
[3]
She took courses at the
Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising
in Los Angeles but does not have a degree.
[1]
Career
[
edit
]
In 2006,
MTV
developed the reality television series
The Hills
as the
spin-off
of
Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County
. It originally chronicled the lives of
Lauren Conrad
, who appeared on its predecessor, her housemate
Heidi Montag
, and friends
Audrina Patridge
and
Whitney Port
.
[4]
In 2007, Pratt's brother Spencer began dating and later moved into an apartment with Montag, which led to the deterioration of her friendship with Conrad.
[5]
[6]
During the third season, Conrad ended her friendship with Montag after she suspected that Spencer was responsible for rumors of a sex tape involving her and her former boyfriend Jason Wahler; the ensuing feud between the three carried through each subsequent season.
[7]
During production of the third season, Stephanie first appeared on the series while angrily confronting Conrad at a club. However, upon the realization that they attend the same college, they became friends.
[8]
Their relationship put a burden on Pratt's relationship with her brother and Montag, who reacted by beginning to alienate her.
[9]
The fourth season saw Pratt's role increased, with more emphasis placed on her personal life. During the fifth season, Pratt began an internship with
Kelly Cutrone
's PR firm, People's Revolution, though Lauren ended Pratt's internship, per Cutrone's orders, due to poor performance.
[10]
[11]
Despite rumors of not returning after the fifth, Pratt returned and was featured as a main cast member in the sixth and final season.
[12]
In 2013, Pratt made several appearances on television in the
United Kingdom
. This included being a guest on the spin-off of
Celebrity Big Brother
, as well as making a special appearance from episodes two onwards on season 6 of
E4
's
Made in Chelsea
, a British equivalent of
The Hills
. Pratt continued her role on the reality-series for the seventh series broadcast from April 2014. Furthermore, Pratt had a recurring role on spin-off show
Made in Chelsea: NYC
, which was broadcast from August 2014. On 18 August 2014, she entered the
Celebrity Big Brother
house for the fourteenth series as a housemate. Pratt lasted 19 days inside the house, before exiting on 5 September 2014. Pratt returned with a feature role for the eighth series of
Made in Chelsea
and met new boyfriend Josh Shepherd on the show. The couple's relationship moved from strength to strength with the pair enjoying Christmas of 2014 in Barbados. The couple then broke up during the filming of
Made in Chelsea: LA
.
[13]
Her memoir titled
Made in Reality: From the Hills of L.A. to London's Made in Chelsea
was released by
Headline
on August 13, 2015, and became a
Sunday Times
bestseller
.
[14]
[15]
In the book she discusses her relationships, struggles with drug addiction, eating disorder and the pressure of fame.
[16]
[15]
In October 2016, she launched a now-defunct wellness website NutritionBySteph.com and supplements range called "To Be Honest".
[1]
MTV
announced a reboot of
The Hills
entitled
The Hills: New Beginnings
at the
MTV Video Music Awards
on August 20, 2018.

driving under the influence
after
