Spencer Pratt Responds to Criticism Amid Mayoral Campaign
Spencer Pratt is actively addressing the criticism he’s been getting lately, especially as his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles gains traction. Originally known from the reality show “The Hills,” he’s making headlines now not just for his celebrity status but for his political aspirations.
At a recent event, actress Hannah Einbinder voiced her opposition to his candidacy. She expressed that many individuals in the city disguise their true political beliefs, suggesting that money influences their votes—pointing to Pratt, who has Donald Trump’s backing. “I’m going to remind everyone of that,” she stated.
Einbinder added that, while there may be no ideal candidate in the mayoral race, she supports Nisya Raman, albeit acknowledging her shortcomings.
In response, Pratt shared a clip online of Einbinder’s statements. He remarked, “I’m glad she doesn’t have to suffer the consequences of Karen and Nisya’s failures, but she’s part of the elite minority while the rest of us crave change.”
This isn’t the first time Pratt has clapped back at celebrity critiques. Recently, Lisa Rinna questioned whether a reality star should lead LA, to which Pratt fired back, “Hey Lisa, if you’re going to judge me on my TV past, wait until you see what Karen Bass was up to in her youth…” He defended himself by contrasting his perceived past with Bass’s more controversial moments.
Additionally, he responded to Chelsea Handler’s jabs regarding his political candidacy, where she described him as a “straight, white male former reality star” without relevant experience. Pratt humorously suggested that Handler should be better informed about her past connections, referencing a comedian’s roast mentioning Handler’s dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s house.
Recent polling shows the mayoral race tightening. Mayor Karen Bass has support from 26% of voters, with Raman closely trailing at 25%, and Pratt at 22%. With the momentum Pratt is gathering, it’ll be interesting to see how the political landscape shifts as the campaign progresses.
