Al Roker spoke about the Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt (Speidi) interview and hit back at Heidi’s accusations that he “attacked” her.

This morning on the Today Show Roker defended himself and his aggressive interview with the infamous reality couple.

Meredith Vieirna asked Roker, “Are YOU proud?”

You see, Al had asked Heidi Montag the same thing yesterday. He had asked her if she was proud of her and Spencer’s actions while on the reality show, “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!”

Roker, as Montag, replied that he was.

He added, “I asked what a lot of people wanted to know. And if he [Spencer] had tried to come across, I would have dumped him like a bag of dirt.”

As for Heidi saying women should beware of Roaker lest he attack them, Roker says it’s ridiculous and his reputation speaks for itself.

“I  mean c’mon. I have interviewed hundreds of women on this program. Never had a complaint and you know, look, they are so unused to people actually asking them a real question, that they didn’t know how to handle it.”

Al Roker interviewed Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt on the Today Show this morning, launching a scathing attack against the couple in a not-so-subtle way.

WATCH VIDEO BELOW!

Al was really fired up! It’s like he spent the weekend getting psyched for the interview and when he finally plopped down in front of Heidi & Spencer he could barely contain himself!

Al is obviously not a fan of Heidi & Spencer, and he made no qualms about squishing their little egos into the sand!

Throughout the interview Heidi can be seen looking at Al with an uncomfortable smile. She later told Ryan Seacrest that she was extremely upset after the taping and cried after being humiliated.

She said:

“I was shocked at how rude he was – I was crying afterwards because I couldn’t believe I felt personally attacked. I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you’re talking to me right now? I’m just a young woman and you’re coming at me so aggressively and meanly [sic] and mean-spirited.

“I just wanted to talk about the show and my experience there and how fun it was, and he just made it a very uncomfortable and awful experience. I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all.”

Ok, so I am no fan of Heidi and Spencer, but Al did seem to take it a little far. He came across as being bitter and mean. Which is fine if you’re a blogger (heh), but when you’re an anchor on NBC it’s a bit unprofessional.

Al also insisted that the couple told the world that NBC “tortured” them. Umm, no they didn’t, Al! That would have been Spencer’s sister who said that. But Al wasn’t having it.

After the interview Al still had more sh*t talking to do. He later Twittered: “Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for…being infamous. Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we’re at minute 11 of their 15.”

After watching Speidi on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! I have come to the conclusion that Heidi isn’t mean spirited, Spencer just rubs off on her. He’s the douche. But I do have to admit, he did pretty good up against Al. He held his own and his composure made Al look like the dick.
