"The Hills"
Stephanie began her role on "The Hills" in Season 3, in 2007, as Spencer's angry sister who confronts Lauren Conrad.

In Season 6, the series got more 'real', with topics and plot lines featuring the cast' life the audience sees in the media (not seen in previous seasons). Stephanie tallks of her DUI arrest, and her sibling rivalry has elevated to the more serious. Eventually it is seen as a cast decision, to no longer mention Heidi or Spencer's name on the series, since both have drastically changed and wreaked havoc. "The Hills" plans to end its series run in July 2010.
Personal life
Pratt is the younger sister of Spencer Pratt, and the sister-in-law of Heidi Montag (both of whom are on "The Hills".) She has struggled with bulimia in the past due to the pressure to be thin stemming from appearing alongside very thin co-stars on the show. In a 2007 US Magazine interview, Pratt revealed previous substance abuse problems and discussed an incident in which she shoplifted $1,300 worth of merchandise from a Neiman Marcus in Honolulu in 2006, while working as a production assistant on ABC's "LOST".
On October 18, 2009, Pratt was arrested in Hollywood, California, on suspicion of drunk driving and booked into jail in Van Nuys. She took two breathalyzer tests, first blowing 0.08, then blowing 0.09. The legal limit in California is 0.08. She was released several hours later after posting a $5,000 bail.
In April, 2010, Pratt posed nude for PETA's "Be Nice to Bunnies" iPhone application, which is intended to help the public find stores and products that are kind to animals.
