Lisa Rinna Discusses Spencer Pratt’s Mayoral Aspirations

In a recent interview, Lisa Rinna made her thoughts known about Spencer Pratt potentially running for mayor of Los Angeles. The reality TV star, now 62, highlighted a growing trend of reality personalities venturing into politics, saying, “We’re already seeing it happen.”

While Rinna shared her uncertainty about who she would support in the election, she emphasized her reluctance to witness the resurgence of reality television figures dominating public life. “But, you know, I’m not a reality star,” she remarked at the American Music Awards. “I truly care about the future, and even though I adore him, I’m not on board with that happening again.”

Despite her reservations, Rinna acknowledged the momentum surrounding Pratt’s campaign. “Maybe he has something going on,” she said tentatively. “I mean, it looks like he has power, but I’m not quite sure.” Interestingly, Rinna also appeared somewhat puzzled by the attention Pratt has been garnering in Hollywood.

“You caught me off guard there,” she admitted. “Honestly, I’m a real person. You really don’t want me as your mayor. I mean, I think he’s great, but I just think it’s already been done.”

Rinna seemed to mix up the Los Angeles mayoral race with the state gubernatorial race, mentioning that “it could really be anyone,” even referencing San Jose’s mayor, Matt Mahan, as a preferred candidate. “I think he’d make a good governor,” she said.

Her remarks didn’t sit well with many online. Comments ranged from criticism of Rinna’s detachment from everyday struggles to others expressing frustration with the established political landscape. One Twitter user pointed out, “It shows how disconnected Hollywood can be.” Another remarked on Pratt’s imperfections as a candidate but argued that the status quo isn’t working, highlighting Los Angeles’s ongoing challenges.

Pratt, who lost his home in the devastating 2025 Palisades Wildfire, declared his candidacy for the January 7th mayoral election, framing it as a mission rather than just another campaign. “We’re going to expose the system,” he expressed during a rally aimed at critiquing the governmental response to the fires that caused significant destruction.

Throughout the fallout from the wildfires, Pratt became an outspoken critic of California’s leadership, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, asserting that city management directly impacted firefighting efforts and contributed to property losses.
