Were Heidi & Spencer Tortured By NBC?

Oh, brother. As just about anyone could’ve predicted, there’s more Speidi drama from the set of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! this week.
Last we heard, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt had returned from The Hills, begging NBC and their castmates to let them back on I’m a Celebrity. They were sentenced to a night in the spooky/creepy/crawly “Lost Chamber” before their return would be brought into consideration.
Over the weekend, the rumor mill has been churnin’ something awful. Apparently, Heidi got sick and asked to be let out of the chamber - but it seems everyone’s got a different story as to what actually went down:
From Reality TV Magazine:
Heidi was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, after spending a day and night in a dark room with only water, rice and beans. She has now left and is on medication. One cast member said this of Speidi’s punishment: ”It’s the same as Guantanamo Bay.” Another member of the cast said that the execs tried to coerce Heidi into not seeking medical attention.
From Extra:
The source insists the Lost Chamber posed no harm to the “Hills” duo. “The environment in the “Lost Chamber” was not in any way harmful or dangerous; no critters, just a few ordinary bugs. They were indoors — never in any danger or facing life-threatening situations. Absolutely no one is or was being held against their will.”
From Stephanie Pratt’s Twitter:
Im really saddened to hear that nbc felt it was ok to punish speidi so harshly-and torture them as if they were criminals-that Heidi was…rushed to the hospital and has an IV in her arm after being locked in a dark room for 3 days w no food or water. Pls pray she will be ok
Personally, I believe Extra’s unnamed source. I find it extremely hard to believe that NBC would “torture” the pair - though I really wouldn’t blame ‘em if they had.
Meanwhile, Perez is reporting that Heidi’s sister Holly Montag is already on board to replace Heidi on the show. This further leads me to believe the torture scenario is untrue. Would you really sign on to a show that had threatened your sister’s life? Gosh, who knows with these people.
And - you guessed it - rumor has it that Spencer is planning on suing NBC over the show.
I smell the thick, odorous stench of a Speidi publicity stunt!
