‘The Hills’ alum Spencer Pratt has ‘no plans’ to film a reality show if he is elected the mayor of Los Angeles, his rep tells Us Weekly
Spencer Pratt is unlikely to have cameras following his every move if he’s elected mayor of Los Angeles. Reports surfaced earlier on Thursday, May 14, that The Hills alum, 42, signed a deal with L.A. production company Boardwalk Pictures to film a reality show should he be named mayor.
A spokesperson for Pratt shot down the rumors, telling Us Weekly in a statement, “This is inaccurate. There is no contract, there is no production, cameras have not been following the campaign and have no plans to do so. ” Pratt announced that he is running for mayor in January, one year after the Palisades Fire that devastated California.
Pratt, his wife, Heidi Montag, and their two sons, Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3, lost their home in the fires, which killed 12 people and burned more than 6,800 homes and businesses.
“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling, it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration on January 7. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.
” Pratt continued, “That’s why I am running for mayor. And let me be clear, this just isn’t a campaign, this is a mission, and we’re gonna expose the system. ” Amid his political campaign, Pratt likened himself to former President Barack Obama during a recent interview.
“I have two awards from my community. President Obama actually didn’t even have awards when he was a community organizer,” Pratt, who is a registered Republican, told NBC Los Angeles’ Conan Nolan on May 8.
“He was able to become a senator and then a president for eight years. So, I feel like him, and I have the same experience. ” Pratt also hit back at criticism of his reality TV past as he attempts to pivot to politics. Pratt insisted he is a “community advocate” these days rather than a celebrity.
“I’m no longer a reality star,” he argued. “It’s funny, I keep being called a reality star. I’m the only candidate living in reality, too. ” Pratt is one of three leading candidates in the mayoral race.
Incumbent mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman are also strong contenders. Pratt has several high-profile supporters backing the MTV alum in his political ambitions, including Joe Rogan, Kristin Cavallari, Nick Viall, Katharine McPhee and David Foster and more. McPhee and Foster held a lavish fundraiser in support of Spencer’s campaign in their Brentwood Park backyard earlier this week. At the event, McPhee sang to the guests, changing the lyrics to Tina Turner’s 1989 classic, “The Best.
” 'You're simply the best / Better than all the rest / Better than Karen Bass / And Nithya Raman,' she sang. Not everyone, however, is getting behind the campaign. Spencer’s sister, Stephanie Pratt, has urged Los Angeles residents not to vote for her brother.
“Spencer has done great work for the Palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” Stephanie, 40, wrote via X on February 14. She added, “A vote for him is a vote for stupidity. ”
