Before the show ever aired, there were already reports that many parts of The City were staged and fake. And now there are more accusations that the producers at MTV tried to get “social” Olivia Palermo and star Whitney Port to get into a physical altercation at work. Right, because that would have been SO believable!

“MTV wanted the girls to get into a physical fight at the [company's] office,” a source told the Post. “Olivia was very disturbed by the request . . . The girls were both really uncomfortable.”

The source added that Port and Palermo both rejected the�request and threatened to stop filming the show, which allegedly caused the show’s producers to come up with a new plan.

“MTV responded to the protests by turning the ‘fight’ scene into an altercation at work, in which Olivia gets upset at Whitney’s boyfriend [Jay Lyon] for showing up to a fund-raiser underdressed,” the source told the Post. “[Although,] Olivia could care less about what Jay is wearing.”

But of course MTV denies any of this ever happened…

“On Friday we shot with Whitney and Olivia at [Diane von Furstenberg's offices], during which time no physical altercation took place. We would never encourage our talent to engage in that type of negative behavior,” a representative for MTV said according to the Post.
