Pratt, 42, best known for playing the villain on the reality series The Hills alongside his wife Heidi Montag, announced his bid for LA mayor in January. He is campaigning on a platform aimed at taking down “California’s entrenched political establishment,” which he blames for the devastation of his Pacific Palisades neighborhood and surrounding areas during the 2025 LA wildfires. In a recent Threads post, Carey, 68, advised against voting for the reality star, telling anyone who plans to do so to “get their head out of their ass.” “I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass,” the Price is Right host added. “F*** this guy already.” The …

Spencer Pratt Literally Uses LA Shithole Filth As Campaign Ad

Spencer Pratt Literally Uses LA Shithole Filth As Campaign Ad

Published by Jenni Sidey

Spencer Pratt is running a campaign unlike anything seen in Los Angeles politics. The former reality star turned mayoral candidate isn’t just talking about the city’s collapse into filth, crime, and decay – he’s making the evidence work for him. His team has taken to the streets with power washers and stencils, blasting clean messages like “IMAGINE IF THE STREETS WERE THIS CLEAN” and “SPENCER PRATT FOR MAYOR” directly into the grime accumulated under Democrat leadership. The tactic is as simple as it is devastating. The cleaned sections stand out starkly against the surrounding trash and dirt, creating a living advertisement for change. Spencer Pratt has launched a campaign where filthy Los Angeles streets are power washed using a stencil reading “imagine if the streets were this clean.” Imagine letting the streets get so dirty under your leadership that your opponent can use them as a billboard. – Right Angle News Network (@Rightanglenews) May 24, 2026 If Democrat Mayor Karen Bass wants the signs gone, her administration has to actually clean the streets – something …

Published by Daniella Wilson

Drew Carey took to social media to slam Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt. “Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their ass,” Carey wrote on Threads. “I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. Fuck this guy already.” Former reality star Pratt (credits include The Hills, The Princes of Malibu and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!) is one of several candidates vying for mayor of Los Angeles, running against incumbent Karen Bass. The primary is taking place June 2. Pratt announced his candidacy in January 2026, a year after the Palisades wildfire leveled his family’s home. He has become an outspoken activist in the wake of the fire. Bass also has been widely criticized for her handling of the multiples fires — which also included the Eaton fire — that burned across Los Angeles in January 2025. Among those backing Pratt are Joe Rogan and …

Republicans are cheering him on, pointing to the videos that they say are building enthusiasm on the ground in a city where their party doesn’t often gain traction in local or statewide elections. Pratt even appears to have caught the attention of President Donald Trump, who recently told reporters, “I’d like to see him do well. He’s …

Ex-reality TV star Spencer Pratt is ‘running Trump’s playbook’ in LA mayoral race – Press Review

Published by Sam Flores

PRESS REVIEW – Friday, May 22: Some 13 candidates are vying to defeat Karen Bass next month for the Los Angeles mayorship. Among them is former reality TV villain Spencer Pratt, whose social media savvy and debate skills have garnered support. Also, the controversial pro-doping Enhanced Games begin this weekend in Las Vegas. Plus the satirical parody Cockroach Janta political party in India becomes a viral sensation.  There is much focus on the LA mayoral race, which is heating up ahead of the vote next month. Los Angeles Magazine reminds us that Democrat Karen Bass became the first female mayor of LA when she was elected in 2022. She is hoping to be re-elected in the June 2 first round. The mayoral race has become one of the “weirdest ever” – with no less than 13 hopefuls competing in a race which the incumbent usually wins quite easily. There are four notable candidates: council member and former ally Nithya Raman, businessman Adam Miller, progressive housing advocate Reverend Rae Huang and reality TV personality Spencer Pratt, all of …

Spencer Pratt Campaign Steered By Republicans

Spencer Pratt Campaign Steered By Republicans

Published by Daniella Wilson

Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Spencer Pratt is attempting to win in a liberal city run by a Democratic Party establishment. The town last elected a GOP candidate to its top job nearly three decades ago. For this reason, Pratt, a registered Republican who said he voted for Donald Trump in 2024, has sought to cast himself as a nonpartisan figure. “All my supporters in Los Angeles are Democrats,” he told CBS. Everyone I know, my family, are all Democrats.” To NBC he explained, “When you vote for Spencer Pratt on your ballot today or tonight, it’ll say Spencer Pratt, community advocate because that’s how I identify.” He added, “I do not represent a party. I don’t have a campaign manager. I don’t have campaign consultants. There’s no political party backing me.” But L.A. City Ethics Commission filings tell a different story. His campaign has paid more than $60,000 so far to June Cutter, the executive director of America First California, the state chapter of a MAGA think tank and advocacy organization founded by former advisors …

The former cast member of reality show The Hills has claimed in multiple campaign videos that he was living in a trailer at the site of his Palisades home, which burned down in the 2025 L.A. fires. However, recent reporting has uncovered that Pratt has, in fact, been splitting time between a high-end L.A. hotel and a rental house outside the city. On X, Variety journalist Marlow Stern reacted to a headline claiming that Pratt plans to leave Los Angeles if he loses the election in June by writing: “he… lives in santa barbara.” Pratt was clearly upset by the jibe, writing in response: “My house burned down. I lost everything. I can’t rebuild. As a 42 …

Spencer Pratt Is Creating Panic Over ‘Super Meth.’ It’s Not Even Real

Spencer Pratt Is Creating Panic Over ‘Super Meth.’ It’s Not Even Real

Published by skeptic

Zagorski says this is likely contributing to an uptick in meth use, but that it’s a “relatively minor” factor overall, with economic precarity and housing instability doing far more to drive the crisis. Nicky Mehtani, an assistant professor in the UCSF Division of General Internal Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital who specializes in addiction medicine and does clinical work with homeless people, tells WIRED that P2P meth is nothing new. “It’s been the dominant form in the US supply for the better part of a decade,” she says. “I’ve never heard it called ‘super meth’ in any clinical or scientific context, probably because it’s just the meth we’ve all been seeing for years now. There’s nothing novel or uniquely ‘super’ about it at this point.” Mehtani notes that meth use disorder is notoriously difficult to treat, in part due to the lack of any FDA-approved pharmacotherapies, and that “recovery is genuinely difficult.” But she says that Pratt’s narrative misses the root causes of meth use among people experiencing homelessness. “The most common reason I …

Spencer Pratt Is the Factory-Reset Option for L.A.

Spencer Pratt Is the Factory-Reset Option for L.A.

Published by Sam Flores

Spencer Pratt, the former reality-TV star and aspiring mayor of Los Angeles, recently spoke with me for a podcast. We met in front of the Airstream trailer that now sits where his house did before it burned down in the Palisades Fire in January of last year. He was excited to share his ideas, if not always able to complete his thoughts, about what he’ll do when he’s in charge. For starters, he’ll clear the drug-ravaged homeless encampments of downtown, bring in developers from all over the world, and use 3-D-printing technology to build “an entire art deco, vibed-out affordable housing.” On the issue of bike lanes, a pet cause of the YIMBY voters who are backing one of his main opponents, Pratt says he’ll do them one better. “I’m going to have bike tubes through the sky!” he says. “You know, like it’s endless possibilities when you enforce a law and you get rid of the zombies.” Zombies is Pratt’s term for the tens of thousands of people who live in depraved conditions on …

David and Katharine McPhee Foster Perform At Spencer Pratt Campaign Fundraiser

Published by Sam Flores

David Foster pounded away at the keys while his wife, Katharine McPhee Foster, swayed through their backyard like an unpolished bridesmaid at a wedding reception, belting out a timely rendition of Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” rewritten for Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign: “better than Karen Bass… and Nithya Raman.” In footage posted to Instagram by One America News Network anchor Alicia Summers, Pratt is seen facing the audience as the Fosters performed on Monday night—representing a strangely poetic Hollywood moment for the candidate. Long before he was running for Mayor, “the Fos Man” (as Pratt refers to David Foster) encouraged the aspiring reality star to embrace his role as a villain—advice Pratt says helped turn him into one of the defining antagonists of 2000s television. During an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience in April, Pratt recalled that Foster, who was previously married to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid, told him, “You got to be like Simon Cowell.” Years later, the Grammy-winning producer, whose daughters Erin and Sara Foster are behind the …
