Spencer Pratt Partners with Kenneth Bass in Legal Action
Spencer Pratt has revealed that he is collaborating with Kenneth Bass, the younger brother of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Recently, Kenneth and his wife, Cindy, became part of a lawsuit brought by victims of the Palisades fire against the mayor, seeking accountability for the disaster that occurred in 2025. They allege their Malibu residence was completely destroyed, which has led to emotional distress due to smoke inhalation.
In the lawsuit, filed last year, it is claimed that there were multiple failures, particularly with the city’s inadequate water supply. The suit also accuses the city of spreading misinformation to avoid accountability for the devastation.
An attorney for the Bass family stated that the mayor’s connection to the lawsuit is “irrelevant,” insisting that as non-citizens, they deserve respect for their privacy as they navigate their legal rights alongside other victims.
In response, Mayor Bass’s office noted that her brother joining the lawsuit is not unprecedented. A spokesperson said, “Thousands of people are part of this case, and there are 18 public and private defendants listed.”
On Sunday, Spencer Pratt announced his involvement in the legal action alongside Bass, stating, “I am proud to work with Karen Bass’ brother to hold her accountable for the negligence that caused the destruction of our home.” He also expressed a light-hearted hope about their Thanksgiving dinner, noting, “I hope it wasn’t too bad. Ours hasn’t changed since last year, but…”
Pratt, along with his wife Heidi Montag, previously filed separate claims against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power after their home was lost in a fire. Their complaint raised similar issues regarding the city’s inadequate water supply.
The Palisades Fire in January 2025 resulted in fatalities and considerable property damage. Both the city and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which are co-defendants in the lawsuit, have denied any wrongdoing. The city attorney’s office has expressed confidence that the city isn’t responsible for the wildfires.
