Stephen Colletti Had A Big Problem With One Storyline On Laguna Beach

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Tuesday, May 7, 2024

Stephen Colletti had his fair share of on-screen time and memorable moments while filming "Laguna Beach." However, there was one storyline in particular that the Southern California cutie didn't agree with: The love triangle between his then-girlfriend Kristin Cavallari and co-star Lauren Conrad (LC). The tensions were high as the three navigated their heart flutters and the subsequently engaging storyline. Now, though, Colletti is speaking his truth regarding MTV's portrayal of the cheating scandal.

"I had a huge problem with this because they created this show around this love triangle. There [are] moments where you and I were broken up and they had learned about Lauren and I hooking up and being very good friends," he explained on the Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen podcast in August. Colletti and Cavallari's on-and-off relationship began in the early 2000s, per People. Once LC joined the mix, she became another love interest for Colletti. He later acknowledge that "Obviously, stuff happened at certain times," before adding, "but at no point ever whenever we were together, you know, would I step out on you in that way." Colletti went on to say, "And they really paint [it like] that's what I'm doing throughout the show — which I have a huge problem with."

The epic love triangle sparked high engagement, which we can only assume is why the storyline/feud was placed as the focal point for much of the show's early run.
