Spencer Pratt's departure from 'The Hills' -- is it for anger management?

Spencer Pratt's reasoning for leaving "The Hills" may be for far different reasons than originally reported. One day after the announcement was made that Pratt -- who stars with wife Heidi Montag on the MTV hit -- was taking a season off to pursue a career in cyber security, Us Magazine is telling an entirely different side of the story.

A source tells the magazine that Spencer's absence from the show will only be for six weeks, and it will primarily be so he can take part in a weekly anger management class. Why? Pratt reportedly threatened "to kill" one of the show's producers after she made a suggestion he was unhappy with. In the end, the classes were a compromise after it was initially suggested that Spencer would be thrown off the show:

"The show agreed that Spencer would leave 'The Hills' for six weeks to do anger management training once a week at home. If he completes it, he can return to the show."

Spencer's story, meanwhile, is that he has aspirations beyond just a TV career and wants to help his country be a more safe and secure place. Helping to stop internet criminals, to him, seems like a perfect way to make that happen.
