Audrina Patridge’s mom Lynn made waves this week after a tirade in which she slammed The Hills and Lauren Conrad was videotaped and hit the internet. On Thursday, Lynn opened up about the incident in a statement Breaking Celebrity News was the first to receive.

"I am sincerely sorry for the negative things I said in the heat of the moment,” Lynn said.

She added that her comments came from a place of deep love for her daughter and were said while she was still in shock from Audrina’s surprise elimination from Dancing with the Stars.
