“She didn’t directly tell me she didn’t want to do the show anymore. I heard it through other people. She’s just going through so much with her divorce and she just doesn’t want to do reality television,” Bunney said. “We had a big production meeting that was scheduled for two months and I ended up having to go to the meeting alone. They decided to move forward without her. The producers called me and said they were moving forward with or without her.”

While there were rumors the Shannon twins -- who have been hanging out with Montag recently -- would be involved, Bunney says the talks are false. As for familiar faces from The Hills of MTV’s Laguna Beach, Bunney says: “I haven’t talked to any of them yet about doing it but they are my friends and the show is about my life so we’ll see.”

The new series will focus on Bunney’s life which includes going back to school, her recent terrible breakup with a boyfriend, and “being independent for the first time” in her life.
