“The Hills” star Lauren Conrad has changed her tune after lashing out at a recent cover story in Us Weekly.
Lauren, or LC as her friends call her, was featured on the cover of Us Weekly this week, next to the headline, “How I Was Stabbed In The Back.”
Following the release of the article, LC posted a blog on Thursady, on her MySpace page, criticizing the article. Now, Access Hollywood has learned, she has changed her tune from the original post.
“It was never my intention to criticize Us Weekly as I have a great relationship with them. My statement was only meant to support and stand by my friends,” LC said in a statement to Access.
The controversy was initially sparked after Us Weekly’s headline claimed LC was “furious” that her ex-boyfriend, Brody Jenner, found himself a model girlfriend, and which indicated she was in “shock” over BFF Audrina Partridge’s renewed friendship with her “Hills” arch-enemy, Heidi Montag.
“Hey! I just wanted to take a moment to clear something up,” LC wrote in the Thursday post on her MySpace page. “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.”
LC originally went on to say the actual piece wasn’t what upset her, it was the words on the cover.
“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,” LC originally wrote. “I understand that headlines sell magazines, but I value my friendships above magazine sales any day.”
“The Hills” returns to MTV next week.
