Heidi Montag’s mother is afraid of her face. As we all know, Heidi Montag got a second round of nips and tucks after Thanksgiving and unveiled a plastic-looking face on the cover of People a few weeks ago. While it’s heartbreaking and scary for an outside observer — imagine being her mother.

more Heidi after the hop…

Heidi told People.com:

“I was nervous, but also excited … I never thought in my wildest dreams she was going to react the way she did..She was looking at me almost like a zoo animal. It wasn’t like I was her daughter anymore. She was looking at me like I was a circus freak,” says Montag.

Color us cynical — but we think this might all be for the plot line of The Hills. We all know Heidi‘s mother loves the spotlight, too.

“I think she was most upset that Spencer was there for me and she wasn’t. She was saying how sad it is that my confidence is gone because of the music industry I’m trying to get into.”
