Brody Jenner would rather get kicked in the balls than watch ‘The Hills’

Brody Jenner would prefer The Hills season 3 to be left unwritten.

The reality star shared an undies-clad photo of himself on on Instagram on Thursday promoting Fridaballs, reinforced underwear designed to protect fathers’ sensitive areas from kicking kids.

The post prompted Jenner’s The Hills costar Spencer Pratt to pose a question to his longtime friend in the comments: “What hits worse: rewatching the show or a toddler kick to the balls?”

“The only thing worse than a toddler kick to the groin is re-watching season 3,” Jenner wrote back.

In 2022, Pratt, who has been a close friend of Jenner’s since The Hills, shared on the Call Her Daddy podcast that he convinced Jenner to break up with then-girlfriend Nicole Richie to go on a fake double date with Conrad, Pratt, and Heidi Montag.

Before his stint on The Hills, he appeared with his family on the short-lived Princes of Malibu, and later appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Sex With Brody, I Am Cait, and The Hills: New Beginnings. Most recently, he competed on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 3,

After courting fake romance on The Hills, Jenner found real love in the years after the reality show wrapped. He welcomed his first child with fiancée Tia Blanco in 2023, so he knows a thing or two about needing those protective undies.
