Heidi Montag learns martial arts to save money on security

Heidi Montag is taking self-defense training because she can no longer afford personal security. The celebrity, who has remained infamous for her plastic surgeries, said that she is learning martial arts in order to protect herself in public. “I can’t afford security, so I practice self-defense and chain punching”, said Montag. Montag and husband Spencer Pratt have spent enormously on security in the past but after reportedly blowing 10 million dollars on fancy cars, private jets, and Montag’s music career, the ‘Hills’ star explained she has had to start watching her wallet. “I have had to change my life. I can’t afford to go out to the clubs anymore because the sort of protection I need can cost anywhere from 5 to 10 thousand dollards a night. That is actually where all my money went because safety is number one," she noted.

The 24 year old added that practicing martial arts has given her strength - both inside and out. “It gives me confidence I didn’t have before. I am doing this self-defense because it gives me inner strength, and I feel safe in my home,” she said. Even after six months of intensive training to eventually become a black belt with the help of trainer Michael Casey, she said she’s “not ready to go out alone yet.”

“I’m only 5 feet 2 inches tall and have a small frame so I understand I can’t completely do it alone yet. Which is why I don’t go out as much. It is scary to be out there without protection, people do follow me and you can never be too careful," Montag concluded.

Heidi Montag addicted to plastic surgery

Heidi Montag, who infamously underwent 10 cosmetic surgeries in one day, has blamed her late surgeon Dr Frank Ryan for her addiction to the procedures. She now claims she did not feel ‘prepared enough’ for the procedures. “Maybe I should have known. ‘But how can you know when your doctor’s saying, ‘It’s just a little of this, it’s just a little of that?’ You know, it really becomes a lot,” said the former Hills star on the show ‘Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Too Far?’ “I definitely think I should have been way more informed. I think that doctors should really walk you through all aspects of it, not just the glamorous side of it. Doctors, it’s like they’re selling you cookies or something,” Montag added. Frank Ryan passed away in August from head injuries after his Jeep tipped over the side of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Back then, a shocked Heidi actually paid tribute to her doctor and tweeted that he was the most amazing person she ever met.

However, now she has clearly changed her tune saying she felt like she was ‘hit by a truck’ following her ten procedures.

Heidi Montag spotted with Spencer Pratt

Heidi Montag and her estranged husband Spencer Pratt have been spotted kissing each other, fuelling rumours of a reconciliation between the two.

The former couple, who are in the process of divorcing after just over a year of getting married, locked lips at the Santa Barbara Zoo.

Montag was also spotted wearing her wedding ring.

The duo has not confirmed their reunion, but Montag has hinted she wants to stop the proceedings of their divorce.

"As far as I’m concerned, the last thing in the world after everything we have just been through is to go through with this divorce. But we are just taking life second by second," said Montag.

The couple had recently gone to Costa Rica, and Pratt claimed the trip brought them closer.

"It was clear we’re soulmates. I don’t see any reason we can’t get back on track," she said.
