Reality star Mauricio Umansky is expressing his frustration with the Hollywood elite who continue to back Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, suggesting he might take action in response. In a recent appearance on “Tomi Lahren is Fearless,” Umansky addressed comments made by fellow reality star Lisa Rinna. Rinna had recently criticized mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt as well as former President Donald Trump but didn’t mention Bass at all when discussing the next mayor of LA.
Rinna told the press she couldn’t envision herself as a “reality star,” specifically targeting Pratt, who’s set to compete against Bass in the upcoming June 2 election. “I love him, but we’ve done it before and we won’t do it again,” she added.
Umansky sees this as another instance of hypocrisy among Hollywood figures. “She’s not backing Karen, but she seems content to distance herself from being a reality star,” he remarked.
The situation escalated when Umansky, reflecting on Los Angeles’ political landscape, dropped a surprising statement. “I’m a reality star, and I’ve thought about running for mayor. I genuinely think I could make a difference, so don’t be shocked if I enter the next election cycle,” he shared with Lahren.
There’s a sense of urgency regarding the state of LA. Reports indicate that the county experienced the largest population decline in the nation, with about 53,000 residents leaving between 2024 and 2025. It’s quite alarming. And meanwhile, Rinna seems fixated on suggesting that Pratt can’t serve due to his association with Trump, while significant issues persist in Los Angeles, including parts that have turned into open-air drug markets.
Recently, the city even removed park benches that had become hubs for drug use, but locals say that didn’t change much in their daily lives. The Bass administration touted this action as part of a larger safety strategy, but many believe it was just a temporary fix that ignored the root problems.
Umansky voiced support for Pratt’s straightforward approach to keeping the city clean. “It makes perfect sense. We need this kind of thinking to improve our city,” he expressed. He criticized Hollywood elites like Rinna who imply that Pratt’s policies echo Trump’s, framing it as somehow negative.
“He’s not Donald Trump. What he proposes is practical and urgently needed,” Umansky explained, emphasizing the need for reasonable solutions. He seems to believe that the way forward lies in finding common ground, stressing that if cities like Los Angeles could work together more effectively, it would lead to a reduction in division and a greater sense of community.
