Singer and TV personality Heidi Montag, who attended the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26, appeared in a shimmering blue dress and a short blonde bob, marking a departure from her usual long hairstyle. Heidi's look made headlines and is being discussed by netizens. Pop culture commentator Zack Peter also shared his thoughts on Montag’s AMA red carpet appearance.
Zack posted a reaction video on his X account on May 27 in which he admired Heidi's outfit. However, he criticized the singer's bob cut look and also poked fun at the decade-long feud between Heidi and Lauren Conrad with his comments.
"The outfit is giving David Bowie, but the hair is giving Party City. And I don't love that because I love Heidi Montag. Like, I have been a Heidi fan from the beginning and somehow I feel like this is a conspiracy headed by Lauren Conrad. I think Lauren Conrad is behind this. She shipped them this wig, and they just bopped it on her head," Zack commented.
Zack further expressed his distaste for Heidi's hair in the following words:
"I don't like it. I like Heidi, but I don't like it. No, no, I can't... I need the phone number of whoever did this. I need Judge Judy on it, okay? I need Judge Judy to get on the case and to solve it, and we need reparations. That's what we need to amend this, to pay atonement to whatever this is."
A quick look at Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad's strained relationship
Zack's comments stemmed from the Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad feud. For the unversed, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag appeared on the MTV reality TV show The Hills, which ran from 2006 to 2010. Heidi and Lauren were good friends, and in season 2, Spencer Pratt entered the show.
According to a The Things report, romance bloomed between Heidi and Spencer, creating a rift between the two friends. Their friendship came to a halt when Lauren came to know that Heidi and Spencer had allegedly been spreading rumors about Conrad making s*x tapes with her ex-boyfriend Jason Wahler.
The two have not been on talking terms for years; while Heidi is working on different projects in the entertainment industry, Conrad is focusing on entrepreneurship.
