Heidi Montag has reportedly claimed that her mother looked at her like a "circus freak" when she returned home following her recent plastic surgery.
The Hills star underwent ten procedures in ten hours in November, including a mini-brow lift, breast augmentation and chin reduction.
Speaking to People, she said: "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."
The 23-year-old reportedly continued to say that her mother was "most upset" that she had not been with her during the surgery and that she thought it was "sad [that] my confidence is gone because of the music industry I'm trying to get into".
When asked how her relationship with her mom was now, she replied: "I tried to leave it as best as I could, but my heart was breaking."
It was previously suggested that Montag's trip home to Crested Butte, CO, would be filmed for an upcoming episode of her MTV reality show.
