Spencer Pratt is stepping up to support a baker who lost everything in the Palisades fire after facing backlash from a relative of Jimmy Kimmel over the sale of pro-Pratt cookies.
Daniella Romano, who owns Vicente Foods in Brentwood, recently began selling cookies featuring the “Vote Plat” logo. These sugar cookies, adorned with designs from Pratt’s supporters, quickly became popular, but also drew the ire of his opponents.
One prominent critic turned out to be Carly Kimmel, sister-in-law of the late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who is married to his brother Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Kitson, a trendy boutique in Los Angeles known for its celebrity clientele, shared on social media that Curley, a key figure, threatened to boycott Vicente Foods if they kept selling these cookies.
Like Pratt’s family, Romano suffered significant losses in the Palisades fire, losing her home and previous business. She chose not to comment on the situation.
Pratt expressed his frustration, stating, “That woman (Kimmel) was attempting to prevent someone from making a living. I hope the Kimmel family can contribute something to fire victims and maybe even buy some cookies as an apology.” He shared these thoughts while presenting a box of cookies to the California Post.
He continued, “There’s always room to support those rebuilding their lives, especially when they’re facing unwarranted attacks from others who seem out of touch with the pressing issues we face.”
Pratt criticized those opposing his efforts for ignoring the rising concerns around safety and homelessness in Los Angeles. He lauded supporters for backing a bakery that “is struggling for L.A.”
“If you oppose what I’m doing, it suggests you might prefer things like drug-related incidents happening in public,” he remarked, expressing disbelief at the reasoning of his critics.
He humorously added, “I’ve heard you can eat these cookies all day without packing on the pounds. They’re actually quite healthy and delicious.”
A report mentioned that when they called around 11 a.m. on Friday, they were informed that the cookies were in high demand, with the next batch set to be ready by 3 p.m.
In response to the cookie controversy, Kimmel’s social media accounts were made private, while Kitson’s pages provided a chance for redemption, suggesting, “The bakery is creating Karen Bass cookies to appease the outrage. I encourage you to show some regret and order a thousand cookies for your next family gathering.”
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to help sell cookies while also doing something meaningful for the city,” Pratt concluded.
