“Stephanie Pratt is seething in silence because she thinks her DUI arrest was a set-up masterminded by her brother Spencer Pratt and ‘The Hills’ MTV producers,” claims Janet Charlton’s Hollywood. The reason the blogger accuses Spencer for having his OWN SISTER get in trouble with the law, she says, is because “ratings on the show have been dropping and producers and Spencer have been conspiring to create drama and get publicity for the stars.”

WHAT?!

The site then reports that while Spencer’s sister-in-law Holly Montag celebrated her birthday last Saturday at the Hollywood club Empire, an MTV camera “lingered on Stephanie drinking and they encouraged her to drink more. When it came time to leave, Stephanie hesitated because she IS careful about driving even if she drinks only a little, but Spencer and the producers assured her she was fine.”

WHAT?!

Charlton goes on to say that a police car was “conveniently parked right out front” to bust Stephanie, and adds, “She believes that her ‘hitting rock bottom’ with her drinking is just a plot created for benefit of the show.”

WHAT?!

Besides being incredibly inaccurate, Gossip Cop cannot believe that a site would not check its facts before accusing various parties of legal wrongdoing. That said, it did not – but Gossip Cop did.

A shocked rep for Spencer Pratt called the report “absolutely false,” and said that not only didn’t Spencer attend Holly Montag’s birthday (as we previously reported), but also “MTV wasn’t even filming.”

And it wasn’t just from his side. Though Charlton cavalierly says Stephanie thinks the whole thing was a “set-up,” an equally bewildered rep for her wondered how the blog came to this conclusion because she “hasn’t been speaking to anyone.” Stephanie’s spokeswoman also assured Gossip Cop the story is “not true.”

The reporting (or lack of) here is criminal.
