A paranoid Spencer Pratt fired his whole security team including his former personal bodyguard Cougar Zank, whom he suspects is having a relationship with his estranged wife Heidi Montag, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Pratt and Zank used to be very close. Zank, a former Marine, even moved into Pratt's $7,000 a month rented Pacific Palisades home he once shared with his wife.
A source close to the situation exclusively told RadarOnline.com: “Spencer flipped-out and fired all his security guys including Zank.
“Somebody within the inner circle was tipping off a major Los Angeles based photographic agency about their whereabouts and Spencer could not figure out who it was.
“So, he just fired everybody to make sure the slate was clean, but the only problem was Zank sided with Heidi, and it looks like they are trying to broker deals on their own now.
“Before it was Spencer who called all the shots with setting-up photo-shoots but all that has changed now, and nobody can ever get a hold of him any longer because he has gone to ground.
“It does not look like he feels that he can trust anyone any longer.”
