Heidi Montag’s Dad Fears for Her Life. Should He?

Heidi Montag’s father is apparently alarmed by the increasingly bizarre and controlling behavior of his son-in-law Spencer Pratt, and now tells Star he is “afraid for her life.”
It’s hard to blame him. Judging from the photos of Pratt standing guard outside his house with his SWAT team of ex-Marines, it’s clear he’s gone overboard. There are other rumors flying around—that Pratt bans Heidi from TV or the internet, that he forces her into plastic surgeries, that he blocks the windows, that they are living in squalor. And without a doubt, Pratt has isolated Heidi from her friends and family, which is often a hallmark of an abusive or at least disordered relationship.
Bill Montag seems to get this.
“If I don’t hear from them soon, good or bad, I will take my family and get his family and go there and talk to them,” Montag told Star. “They can call the police on me too. I want to make sure both of them are okay.”
Of course, there is the possibility that all the crazy talk and guns and weird behavior are part of a publicity gambit. But there is also the very real possibility that Pratt and Montag are locked in an abusive relationship and that Montag is indeed in danger. It’s also a point worth making that Pratt’s alleged behavior is pretty far off the deep end, and he may also be in danger. As her parents, the Montags are well within their rights to investigate the situation, and rather than waiting for Pratt to call the police on them, they might want to call the police themselves. I mean, if Michael Lohan can do it, what’s stopping them?
