Reacting to 'THE HILLS' | S4E13 | Whitney Port

[@whitneyport]

Did Heidi deserve to lose her job or what?

[@iamb5048]

Yeah. That's was kinda awesome.

[@laurenherda2415]

She never really worked there it was all fake, this is why reality TV bothers me, yet I watch this show and love your guy's reaction to it!

[@Bibiznatch]

She was phonybaloney warned so yes she deserved her phonybaloney firing. Thanks for helping me and others get through this s show time. I wish I didn't have so much s on my s samwish. I try to donate during the chat but that way never works. Maybe I'll donate merch....pits love

[@gorillanotion1024]

She never actually worked there so there was nothing she had lost to begin with. Note: I totally believed it when it was airing at the time. 😅

[@SmoothieQ]

Even tho it wasn't a real job..it was satisfying watching her get fired..had that been a real job..then 💯% she should be fired!

[@UzosChoice]

Firstly, as a black woman who really isnt easily offended, I remember feeling a slight twinge of hurt and upset (not a phrase lol) when I heard Timmy make the telegenic comment last week. As it is a feeling I am used to, I didn't anything of it and moved on. Having said that, I SO appreciate him addressing it this week!! I probably speak on behalf of us all in saying that we all love you both and are faithful watchers - the fact that our feelings are being cared for so dilligently and in such a kind way is something I really really appreciate. Especially as you are risking backlash from it also. Secondly, Timmy rolling his eyes as soon as Jay comes on screen is everythinggggg! Love is real guys haha!!

[@moriahkirk1991]

Lmao his face. Like oh lord this guy again 😂

[@whitneywilliams1296]

I’m a black woman as well and felt the same twinge. I’m glad he addressed it, because I hoped he didn’t mean it the way it came across. I love that they always address concerns like this.

[@christinanguyen8067]

Yes, agreed. Everything he shared in the last video are sentiments I've heard repeatedly that disguises the bias that exists. It hurt and that being said, I ended up skipping forward so I guess I don't even know all that was said. But I wasn't mad at Timmy or anything, yet I'm really glad that he did address it not in a defensive way. It's so much better to "fuck up" and have the open convo than pretend it doesn't exist!

[@leilaniz5909]

I took what he said as just people who are charismatic in front of the camera. Idk if you've ever tried to make a KZbin video or walk into a bar and draw all eyes towards you, but it does take a certain developing skill, nobody is born with it.

[@giselacasimiro812]

I remember how this was also an issue on The OC which didn't have black people, just I believe one of two latin characters from Ryan's old block back in Chino. Or even Sex and the City, so white. Gossip girl was a little bit better in that sense, but still....Funny how years back I watched Felicity and they dealt with it so much better, they were more inclusive. Anyone here watched Felicity? I've watched it all like 5 times ahaha. You guys should react to Laguna Beach and then to Felicity.

[@kdholden]

Agreed, Timmy was just a cog in the wheel at the time 🎡

[@ANicole079]

I'm always glad that Whit and Timmy dont shy away from these conversations. As a BIPOC viewer its something I think about in terms of the fact that shows like this or Friends dont reflect the actual area we live in. And I'm glad you address it because without these convos we cannot be and do better. Will make a separate comment for the actual reaction!

[@en6278]

they are not trying to reflect the whole city they are focused on a specific group of friends or families. Its like you think there are no groups of all white friends in cities where majority are white. Im sure you never apply this kind of scrutiny to black shows.

[@alisongrachen4612]

I recall watching and thinking this isn’t coming out the way they think it is. We appreciate your apology, learning and trust your intentions. ❤️

[@KKW607]

Exactly!

[@glowandtravel]

I thought the same when I watched but didn’t comment because I just gave Timmy the benefit of the doubt

[@Shae-LynnShepherd]

I genuinely appreciate you even talking about it, as a poc. I think it’s a conversation that needs to happen but at the same time you guys are just genuinely reacting to what is on the screen and sometimes it doesn’t come across as the audience wants and that’s okay but to even take the time out to address it is so appreciated. We love these episodes!! Never stop!

[@susanmacaulay4656]

Timmy I understand over ruminating about something. Sometimes I can’t sleep at night feeling I may have said or done something that I may be judged on. Had to edit I didn’t get to finish before I hit send. You are a kind man. I’m sure no one thought you had Ill intent whatsoever.

[@Madge_T]

Well said, Susan. I feel the same and can empathize with the anxiety of overthinking.

[@smartmarketing173]

Me too. It’s part of being an empath; being overly sensitive and ruminating. It’s a curse!

[@latoyajohnson8695]

Timmy DEFINITELY did not had no ill intent whatsoever

[@9crimes87]

No one in the comments said Timmy had ill intent. But there's a difference between INTENT and IMPACT. Here Whit and Timmy addressed the impact which was the right thing to do.

[@ashleyconnell5987]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I do think that there was a good chunk of time when Lauren and Audrina were actually genuine friends. They lived alone together for at least a year or so and you saw them have each other's back (for a period of time anyway lol) in regards to dealing with Heidi again in season three after the horrible rumor situation. I think there was at least a little genuine emotion there from Lauren, if anything just from thinking about the time that had passed between them and quite possibly where their friendship was headed now.

[@chantelwilliams517]

Lol I can’t at you guys not believing Audrina and Lauren were actually friends. They were definitely actually friends at one point even if all the storylines weren’t always real 😂

[@emilywithers6919]

For sure! They shed a lot of tears together, drunken and sober!

[@Tonntee]

I am very impressed you both took the time to address this. As a fan of Whitney's from her 1st appearance on The Hills it brings me alot of relief knowing that she's the conscientious person I assessed her to be. I hope this incident will allow you guys to be more mindful of the platform and privilege you have and how to utilize them responsibly.

[@CariMachet]

Please focus on how unconscious you yourself are and stop bullying others and trying yo make homogeneous crap 💩 everywhere

[@Mitzi_Sweet_Creations]

I still cannot get over how smooth and perfect Whitney’s skin looks! 😍

[@2mis2TL86]

She’s like a porcelain doll

[@stephensshauntelle]

thanks for addressing this

[@Natalie-zk3eg]

I totally agree with this! It’s obviously not ideal but that was the cultural influence at the time :/

[@gee2541]

but wasn’t the show based off actual friendships and relationships? wouldn’t it have been a bit weird to cast poc for the sake of having poc if they weren’t attached to the group in some way? diversity is important but diversity for the sake of checking off boxes feels really forced and actually pretty insulting in my view.

[@kiki_101_]

@@gee2541 LOL no a lot of the friendships were forced by producers, some of the cast members (like Spencer/Heidi, Brody, Audrina, Lo, Kristen, Lauren etc) have gone out and explained how they would be told they had to film scenes with someone and then immediately after go back to their normal life’s lol. Audrina was scouted for the show, Lo said they were just coworkers to her and she wasn’t actually friends with them (aside from Lauren), Brody said a lot of his scenes w/ Lauren were fake and after filming them they wouldn’t talk. even Audrina said she wasn’t really friends w/ a lot of them (including lauren) but HAD to film w them due to contracts, said she had her own real group of friends outside of the show, producers actually sort of held her hostage at one point until she agreed to film a confrontation scene w/ Kristen over Justin (that she didn’t want to do bc Audrina was actually in a relationship w/ someone else at the time). All that to say NO this wasn’t based off of genuine relationships.

[@Thetruthwillsetyoufree90]

@@kiki_101_ but they said that the majority of people that lived in Laguna were white. So I’m not sure how this is a race thing. I’m sure if it had been more diverse they definitely would’ve had POC in the cast.

[@VJones-gy8rc]

I recall watching your content when tensions were really high during the protests last year. You made an effort to promote inclusivity, particularly in the vein of supporting black-owned businesses and lifting the voices of people of color around you. The work doesn’t stop there though as the statements from your last video show. Even so, I appreciate your openness and receptiveness to tough conversations because that is how we all learn.

[@shaylah7389]

Lauren seems genuinely sad that Audrina moved. Like the way she was looking away from the truck and doing that forced thin closed mouth smile. That’s her trying to not cry.

[@giselacasimiro812]

For me it's pretty obvious too that she was sad and Audrina too

[@shaylah7389]

@@giselacasimiro812 Audrina, Lauren and Whitney seem like the ones with the most authenticity. Like obviously some storylines were manufactured but they’ve always seemed to respond to things pretty sincerely. Like I could feel the lump in my throat that Lauren definitely had in that moment. The whole storyline thing just doesn’t work for them as people.

[@chantalmarie8821]

Agreed. You can hear she is trying not to cry when she said "makes me a little sad."

[@marci917]

I wonder what the nature of their friendship was like. Obvi it seems like whit and Timmy think it’s very contrived (understandably so since whit has her own experience on the show) but I wonder what it was like

[@gabbyoc9447]

@@shaylah7389 I agree. But watching these reactions has given me the impression that Whitney and Lauren weren’t really friends. Or at least that’s what she wants to make us think. I wish she would talk more about their friendship. There have been so many missed opportunities for her to talk about their friendship, like when they went to Paris for example. But she seems annoyed or quiet when they watch some of their scenes together.

[@TheFlyKbundy]

As a POC, I just started watching your series. I appreciate you addressing this in such an eloquent way and I love ya'll. I find you extremely entertaining and you gained a fan. Thanks!

[@karawigley6231]

As a black woman, I know Timmy didn’t mean that from a bad place & it’s admirable that y’all addressed it. Keep your head up & please don’t stop making these reaction videos I love them. Lol.

I just have to say that I look forward to these reaction videos every week. I have a 6 week old, my second baby.. as happy we are to have a new little one in the family unfortunately I’ve been struggling with some postpartum anxiety/depression. These videos have brought me sunshine on some very hard days. Thank you Whitney and Timmy. I am super grateful❤️

I really applaud you both for taking the time to explain yourself and apologize for your words. I rarely feel seen as a black woman, and by acknowledging your privilege and mistake in wording and having these uncomfortable conversations, we are only getting better as a community. Sonny is very lucky to have you two as parents ❤

[@daisyjones5559]

It’s so clear to me that Lauren going to Italy was a trial to see if the show could survive without her - she leaves the next season right? There must have been discussions about her leaving in this season. Now she is basically just an advice giving aunt at this point.

[@Marlo_xo]

She legitimately went on a family vacation. I remember seeing photos on her website. And she was dating Kyle Howard in s4 and became really serious with him. She had expertly separated the show from her real life and decided to choose real life, because she was happy. Edit: just to add- She officially quit. She was done. They still wanted her. She still walked.

[@Rdhmdxx]

Thanks for speaking on this Timmy. I definitely felt a slight twinge when he said that in the last episode.. but I’m just glad you acknowledged what was being said in the comments. Don’t be so hard on yourself Timmy🤎 sometimes thoughts aren’t articulated the way you intend them to be. Your heart and spirit translates well on screen. We appreciate you.

[@deeshan9844]

Honestly I don't think Audrina was a very good friend to Lauren. Lauren was a bit insensitive at first towards the whole JB thing but quickly corrected herself and was incredibly supportive through all the BS. Audrina was always subtly shading Lauren behind her back with Speidi and JB while also acting like a victim being held hostage in that house. Not surprised Lauren didn't continue their friendship. And in the end she was 100% right about JB.

[@LC_7_87]

Also the episode coming up when Audrina blamed Lauren about a rumor of hooking up with JB and clearly Lauren had NO interest in JB. I wouldn’t be friends with audrina after that.

[@GinaAnnYup]

Not that it matters, but I used to eat burgers in my car while watching you guys (pandemic times) and now I watch while working out in the gym. Truth and time tell all?

[@vanessah.5658]

Thanks Timmy for taking the time to discuss that comment or just the topic in general. Topics of race can feel scary for most people but we are able to level up as a society and community when we do. Thank you & Whit for pushing past and addressing it so genuinely. Love you both!

[@giselacasimiro812]

Finally, I think Lauren was right when she told Whitney that Audrina wanted to move out to move in with Justin. Sorry Timmy and Whit, but she was not spreading a rumour or a lie. As the episode goes by both Chiara and Casey ask Audrina, are you sure you want to do this for you and not for Justin? Does he even know or want to? Then she asks him to move in and he clearly doesn't want to or even thought about it. I get that it's better to live alone and she did let the drama settle before doing it instead of moving out of impulse or after a fight with Lauren and Lo. She took her time. But she did it thinking of JB too when they aren't there and had barely just made it to Boyfriend Girlfriend. Lauren is not so bad at reading people and it was clear to Chiara and Audrina's sister what her plan was. Get a house and hope Justin would want to move in right away, as if her sharing a place before would ever be the problem. Don't know why this criticism of Lauren sometimes. She's not perfect and was sometimes a bit overprotective of her friends which can rub off as controlling. She made her mistakes and her friends should have the right to make theirs too. Other than that I do think she was a good friend and she was the star of two mega hit shows, she didn't need to be fake or mean or dramatic or anything.

[@fabioladantes8479]

[@deliwoman3720]

Timmy’s obsession with Elodie is SO funny to me lmaoooooo & the little Sam stick man flying across the math stuff made me laugh so hard

[@lazyboyz]

I hope Timmy and Whit get to read this comment. I think Whitney had the right idea with her explanation on the original video. She put it best, they were white kids, from a white town, who went to a white school with affluent white parents. I as a black teen was NOT tuning into The Hills let alone MTV for diversity. Would it have been nice to see myself reflected on the screen? sure! But, I also knew what the show was and to me it was escapism. I wanted to watch rich, white, young adults say and do dumb things for entertainment. I think Timmy kinda stepped in it with the attempt to placate with an explanation which felt more like tipping around the actual truth w/ a half truth. I think currently we're in a time where we're all cognisant of race, and racial issues even if we may not understand firsthand. So an explanation that would have sufficed then (remember it was 2008/2009 where social consciousness wasn't anywhere near what it is today so be easy on Timmy) doesn't hold up now , i.e. "we looked for telegenic ppl." Understandably folks will react and call it implicit bias. You could've just cut straight to the white meat (no pun intended) and been like "At time, these were the crowds they were exposed to, this was the image we were looking for, and I did what I could with what I knew at the time and I see how my role in what could've felt exclusionary." Done! I personally don't think its a big deal and it was just a bad explanation that was meant to not hurt any feelings or make their viewers feel left out. Totally understandable. These conversations are honestly refreshing.

[@lazyboyz]

@@timothywalker7530 I don't disagree with you at all. You're right. However I do understand being someone who grew up in a heavily diverse city like NY and working in fashion. We as black ppl are far and few in between in the spaces even if we are present. Those spaces don't reflect us or who we are as individuals because they weren't created with us in mind. I personally wouldn't want mtv or the likes to portray black bodies through a white gaze. just my two cents.

[@moriahkirk1991]

Thanks for taking the time to clarify what u meant in the last video! Also would be good to know the tea about Sam and Brent. How they really felt about them using the hills to promote their business and if having Heidi and Spencer around we’re really worth it cause they seemed like they were really getting tired of their antics after a while.

I appreciate the accountability, clarification, and ability to handle this with grace. Looking forward to more content y'all post!

I thinks it’s interesting that Hills New Begs didn’t take the opportunity in the reboot to make up for past lack of diversity.

[@eliramos2232]

I appreciate you guys talking about it, but as a POC this was not at all on my radar. I watched The Hills and The City during my college years in Stockton and through the thick of the recession. This show gave me and my friends an escape. I absolutely related to the characters (friend, guy, career “what do I do”) that the surface appearances weren’t even a factor. On super super looked forward to this escape!!!!! Aaaaaanyways, I super enjoy these reaction videos and hope you two never stop making them! Woooo!!! Also am looking forward to my Intern wearer!

[@DeadlyKitten90]

Which person on the show did you relate with most when you were in high school? When I watched this show in high school my fave character was Lauren.

[@eliramos2232]

@@DeadlyKitten90 when I was in high school, I also most closely related to Lauren but I was super into my grades so that part was missing. While on college, I related to Whitney (responsible, on top of it, big responsibilities) because those were qualities I aspired to have, I also related to Audrina with her inability to make a clean break from Justin (I felt like she and I had ESPN or something haha), and I also aspired to be more like Lauren (not afraid to address problems head on even if it means confrontation, and able to make clean breaks). What I also love about rewatching, is that it shows me how much I’ve also grown up (ha!) and allows me to laugh myself. I feel like during that time, girl on girl crime was accepted, expected, possibly encouraged? as the norm. And today, there’s such a movement for women supporting women and celebrating our differences as strengths and I’m so proud of how far we’ve come. I think this would be an awesome time to be in your teens and 20s and feel such Community with all these amazing different women. I watch this show today and remember thinking the only acceptable way to behave was to be super nice and cute. But these reaction videos give us permission to revisit with a laugh. Today, you can be nice, and cute, but you can also be be lady like, be punk rock, be strong willed, be compassionate, be a boss, be funny, be soft, be hard, maybe sometimes be a little bit scary, be anything and it’s awesome. I’m so proud of myself for being waaaaaay less judged now 🤣. Truthfully I can track my old convictions through the show, how they changed, and how I’ve grown and learned. Ha! Also, it’s just good entertainment and these two are freakin hilarious. What do you think? I’m curious to know how others feel!

I appreciate you guys addressing the diversity issue with the HIlls and The city. Just want to correct Whitney the fashion industry wasn’t predominantly white 10-15 years ago. People of color weren’t given the opportunities to intern, model, design and contribute as equally as white people. I think we all know The hills was a white show so I’m not even upset about the lack of diversity on the show. It’s the denial of white privilege that annoys a lot of people still

[@carolsimpson4422]

But since systemic racism excluded people from this industry, that explains why it was predominantly white. Which is why Tim mentioned that these shows should have tried to question and challenge this system instead of just going along with it.

[@jlandrum80able]

🤣🤣 best line

[@giselacasimiro812]

They had a cat at the old apartment but vanished just like Bella

[@9crimes87]

I'm actually crying. THNAK YOU for acknowledging the issue, being open and understanding and not being defensive. As a WOC I feel seen and a part of this cultmunity. I will absolutely refer back and send this video to whomever does an half-assed apology in the future. Like look, "there's actually a way to do this respectfully. And no, the world is not out to *cancel* you. Just take accountability like lovely Whit and Timmy just did.

[@MayteAguilar85]

I think having another guest would completely change the vibe of the reaction videos ... i love it as it is. ♥️ I like 5 pm that way my son is sleeping 😅

[@TheSarah2230]

I really appreciate how you both take into consideration peoples feelings and properly respond. We all say things that can be interpreted in ways in which we did not intend. I enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort you have both put into this series. :)

[@stephanielong2892]

My favorite thing about Wednesday...... yayyyyyy!!! Sweetest couple everrr!!!

[@inthegreen7038]

I remember loving the peg printed dress that Whitney wore. It also got a mention in The Hills TWoP recap. I used to love reading those.

[@christinaaa_xo]

LOLL at one of Audrina's excuses to move Justin Bobby in "now we don't have to worry about being too loud and waking them up when they are asleep".. like, what? You live in the guest house. How loud could you have been?!

[@mariasuarez8020]

Timmy take this serious... you're amazing and I love to laughg with you guys... amazing couple... please continue with the reacting of any other show!!

[@stephyvictoria]

Silent regular (that tried to hoard up these reactions so I can binge) here. 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ WHIT WHERE IS THIS SWEATER FROM??? Also you guys are the best. Thanks for addressing the POC community even though when I watched that go down I knew you didn’t have bad intention and were gonna do a whole thing to address the topic later 😹🥰

[@nicolesharp6254]

I truly believe in growth and understanding that something you said was offensive to a group of people..and owning it and apologizing..this has always been consistent on your channel..thank you 🙂

[@Nando28249]

I watched the hills as a teenager and now I just discovered your channel and watched all of the videos so far in just 2 days. Tim has made this experience even better... I can't stop laughing every time he says something funny 😅🤣😂

[@telenor7445]

I’m watching from Sweden. I watch before bed, as my alone time🙏🏾

[@joaonutube]

Me too from Spain🙋‍♀️

[@gemf1704]

Hey Whit & Timmy than you so much for the chat before the ep about POC! Its so important to have the discussion and not shy away or worry, much appreciated and thank you thank you very much 😊

[@ANicole079]

I'm crying at the end of this reaction so now i'm excited for friday LOL

[@evelynsampolski0510]

I think it is good to put you toes into the an uncomfortable conversation mainly, because it is how we learn from situations. We open the dialog and communicate.

[@paula92111]

I could tell what you MEANT to say initially, so I wasn't offended, but I can totally see why people would have been offended by it initially wording/explanation. I'm glad you took the time to understand and address the situation though.

[@NoheaEsh]

Timmy repeating Whit saying Jay's so hot is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile! Love the eye roll! LOL

[@Anneamidala]

Totally understood what u guys meant and everyone knows your heart. Dont worry guys, we love u!

[@FinnFish020]

I’m just catching up to all y’all’s videos, which I love! And I just wanted to say thank you for these because they are hilarious! I literally laugh out loud, silent laugh with Whit allll the time 😂I’m watching siesta key with you now too and they are so good and there’s no better way to watch tv! So keep rocking, keep being you and know you are appreciated

[@SiminaKiss]

About the air time: Europe wants too watch too, this time fits for me or 1 or 2 hours later.

[@bridge1419]

Thank you for having that conversation at the beginning. Love you guys.

[@jenetecomprendepasu6585]

I weirdly feel that Tim is super judgemental with Lauren like Audrina literally told Chiara and her sister she was hoping Justin would move along, but if Lauren says it, it’s gossip and lies and they were fake friends… but Heidi getting fired not expected, her horrible partner well not worthy mentioning all the awful things and toxic behaviours he constantly shows because he’s “a victim” and just “acting” for the show. Like these reactions videos are nice, except when Tim throws what I feel is unfair shade towards Lauren. But just my opinion, hopefully it stops feeling this biased since it’s almost the end of Lauren’s participation on the show.

[@lenatorres1171]

Lauren is so overrated lol. She seems like a complete mean girl who expects everyone to cater to her. She was annoying af in Laguna Beach, and Kristen Cavallari is sooo much better to watch. I've been team Kristin since LB and love her part in this show once boring ass LC leaves.

[@heykate218]

WHITNEY! I just saw you on What to Expect When You’re Expecting. I wanna hear about THAT experience!!

[@jdpopayan9140]

I remember when Audrina moved out the paparazzi were outside, filmed her leaving and put it out before the episode came out. I mean, The Hills is very white washed... They could've cast a person of color for New Beginnings and still didn't do it but it is not Timmy and Whit's fault...

[@adriennem1884]

Exactly

[@2mis2TL86]

That’s what I was trying to say last week and was told I was trying to change the topic and avoid the real conversation. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@isamb777]

Totally

[@lacali2346]

Props to whit and Tim for trying to address the issue and acknowledging white privilege. That alone is huge. Imagine if all our white brothers and sisters did this… the world would change for the better

[@jdpopayan9140]

@@2mis2TL86 You're right. People trying to call Whit and Timmy racists need to focus their issues somewhere else because Whit and Timmy didn't make the show.

[@patricefatherly420]

I love how real Whit and Tim are ♥️ These videos have got me through self isolation

[@Irepeatthisisnotatest]

Timmy, please don’t take the comments to heart/personally...take reflection and learning/growth, but you seem like a very decent man. Thank you both for acknowledging this and having an important & much needed conversation.

[@latoyajohnson8695]

I too appreciate Timmy addressing this bc it was much needed and I knew that once this topic came up that it was gonna rough a whole lot of feathers

[@fleuralexandra87]

Here here 👏

[@sillythu1]

I liked this episode a lot. Humility. Openess. Enlightenment. Shock. And my fav was Timmy's awkwardness when Jay hit the screen. Caught myself with a perma grin at the end of this episode.

[@kat_kut]

Audrina's sister is really cool as well as her whole family. We could see them at Audrina's own reality show in 2011.

[@dittodelphox9939]

I love that Timmy and Whit talk about tough and sensitive things timely! 💛

[@dev_with_me]

3rd episode in a row with a song by The Maine

[@Jerrica8123]

Right? I love it 😂

[@erinm4774]

Hahaha Timmy at the end seeing Jay (rolling his eyes, staring into the camera haha) "it was magical?" hahaha ( as he speaks for Whit) Timmy is the best!
