What was it like reuniting with Justin "Bobby" Brescia and having those emotional conversations in the first season of "The Hills: New Beginnings"? Was it difficult?
We were talking off camera for a little bit. On camera, it changes everything. Then you start overthinking, like, "Wait, am I going to look bad if I start dating him again? This isn't a good look." You start caring too much, and then it fizzles and ruins it, but it was nice filming with him. We picked up right where we left off. It didn't feel any different.
In Season 2, the show kept teasing [a romance between] you and Brody Jenner. Was that a real thing, or was that just a storyline?
With Brody, there's always been a flirty chemistry with us, but we've known each other for so long. On "The Hills: New Beginnings," you're like, "Should we see what happens? Should we not?" It was a storyline and we played into it. We had a talk. We've been friends for so long; we respect each other. We don't want to ruin what we have. It's probably not the best to take it to that next level.
You didn't want to ruin that?
Yes. I love Brody, and we have such a great friendship that I wouldn't want to ruin that, or for us not to have what we have right now and try to have a relationship — because once you cross that line, it'll never be the same.
I saw that you are doing a new podcast, "Was It Real? The Hills Rewatch," with Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado. What can you tell us about that?
It's been so much fun. We actually filmed three episodes yesterday ... We started at Season 1 [of "The Hills"]. We are going way back, and we had Jason [Wahler] on and he talked a lot about him and Lauren [Conrad] and everything. It's been a lot of fun talking about behind-the-scenes [moments] on the podcast, and all the deleted scenes, and having celebrity fans on [the podcast] that were fans of the show.
Frankie has a confessional at the end, which is really funny. We've had some of the [original "Hills"] producers on, talking about "Was it real?" and why they did certain things the way they did. For everybody that has all these questions, it's going to answer everything in detail ... It's a little cringey to watch for me. I have not watched ["The Hills"] in 17 years.
Haven't you?
No, nothing. It's so weird. I totally forgot about some of the dates I went on, so I'm reliving those again. It's like, "Oh, my gosh." Brody and Frankie, they're like my brothers. It's constant teasing about everything.
