In case you missed it, The Hillsis coming back to our screens.
And except for Lauren Conrad, most of the cast members from the original noughties California-based, quasi-reality show are back.
Heidi Montag, Whitney Port, Audrina Patridge and Stephanie Pratt will star in The Hills: New Beginnings , as well asOCstar Mischa Barton.
But anyone who’s looked at this cast photo for more than a few seconds might notice something very jarring, especially for 2019: There’s a glaring lack of diversity in the cast.
However, when Heidi Montag (now Pratt) was asked about this in a recent Vogueinterview she had a veryinterestingspin to put on it.
The reality star’s response to the question is going viral, and well, we think you’ll understand why.
When asked “do you wish that there was a little more diversity represented?” she could have just answered, “yes”.
Instead, she said: “We don’t all look the same. I mean, Audrina has darker hair, I feel like Mischa has darker hair. We’re California girls and we’re a group of friends, and that just happens to be the group that came together.”
The mum-of-one then added: “I have other very diverse friends that are not featured on the show.” Something we’re not sure makes the response come off any better.

The 32-year-old’s answer has been shared widely on Twitter since it was published.
It’s like she doesn’t even know what diversity is.

And this tweet probably sums it up best:

Itispretty much what we expected, which doesn’t make it any less ridiculous.
