Spencer Pratt rises in LA mayor polls as Karen Bass stalls
"We asked Spencer if he has ever lived in the trailer, and he said no, adding, 'I have never told anyone I lived there.' However, in the campaign ad, he says squarely, "This is where I live" as he stood in front of the trailer." TMZ doing politics is good actually
Marisa Kabas390anyone who believed heidi montag lives in a trailer, please donate your brain to science
Randy Herman69When TMZ does their thing to actors it can feel kind of sleazy, especially like child actors. But when they do it to politicians, it is unquestionably punching up and therefore laudable. We (as a society) need to rake more muck.
Solomon Hinton28The fact that he’s being framed as a serious contender by the media…(sigh…)
truebluepatriot.bsky.social17It’s almost like he’s auditioning for a gig in the Trump administration.
Shawn Schillberg13I don't think this guy is capable of telling the truth.
World Ahead13Guy moved from living in an RV I couldn't afford to living in a hotel I couldn't afford, and apparently feels more victimized by that than by losing his actual house (which I also could not afford)
PonderOsa13Just want to add that Airstreams are historically the fancy high end of trailers, bought and used by the affluent.
Now new and improved w 60% snark, 40% reasoned factual discourse11"but Spencer says he was forced to ditch the trailer because of death threats" Narrator: "There were no death threats except from his wife."
Liam Pierce10TMZ does insanely good journalism… in a way.
calamity jim7Spencer Pratt? Spencer fucking Pratt?! Is this a joke? That is Dickens level naming, damn.
Melayna7Yes & no, TMZ's Harvey Levin has NEVER answered for helping Jeffrey Epstein craft media messages to downplay his pedophilia while also discrediting Epstein victims.
pineypointg.bsky.social7He’s MAGA. He’s a liar.
Michele Lamb6His sister Stephanie claims Spencer Pratt beat her up when she was eighteen and put her in the hospital so lying about where he lives is only scratching the surface.
James Who Lives in Queens5Why are the scummiest dumbest orcs always Republicans?
Cannon5If he did actually get death threats couldn't he just... move the trailer? Isn't that the whole point of them? Spencer Pratt has been a lying, psychotic, con artist grifter since high school
🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇦 💪🏼👊🏼3He’s just a liar and a bankrupt wanna be. I cannot believe my fellow Angelenos are falling for his schtick.
newandabitalarming.bsky.social3Also, it is completely distressing that anyone would take this grifter seriously. But alas, we know this is a regular thing here
newandabitalarming.bsky.social3I have been excited about this too. I would totally take the TMZ DC bus tour.
Godspeed You! Woke Moralists3oh wow Gawker lives on by just reporting on things that are happening and everyone knows and no one says
Marc Reeve3The fact that Spencer fucking Pratt is considered a viable political candidate at all is horrific.
kbethany.bsky.social2I think the bigger story will be when it turns out that (as I suspect) his campaign is footing the bill for the swanky hotel. Also, someone should probably follow up on why he’s not staying with his wife and kids who are in a rented house in Carpinteria.
Antoine Doinel Jr, Sr2You mean this phony "reality" star and cosplay mayoral candidate is a fkn liar? I'm shocked, and stunned.
no one2how tf did tmz become one of the most respected and responsible media outlets? this timeline is drunk!
Eric 🍁2Cosplaying as a trailer park boy is a crazy strategy
Spencer Pratt has not been living in a trailer. He just admitted he has never lived in a trailer. He’s been living at the $2000 a night Hotel Bel-Air. I can’t believe I even feel compelled to post about this grifter but here we are www.tmz.com/2026/05/13/s...
Hillary Hillarious14Hear me out. Maybe instead of imprisoning and deporting hard working immigrants, we should start imprisoning “reality” TV show personalities.
cranemonster.bsky.social8Me a Los Angeles voter: Spencer who? I don't know if I should feel relieved or ashamed for not knowing this guy until now.
CJOB8That anyone would vote for this grifter is 🤯
The Wizard Of Awe5It's horrifying that someone like him has any support to be the Mayor of Los Angeles.
churchlady3205FEMA and thus CA (FEMA never arrived I don't believe) use trailers as temp housing for those who've lost everything. Nobody is "forcing" anyone to live there. In Brit parlance, Pratt IS a pratt. And a liar.
ellenahzulu.bsky.social4I seriously dislike that TMZ wrote: "As you know, Spencer's home burned down during the L.A. fires last year, after there were multiple City failures ... from a lack of water to a hundred fire trucks that were sitting out of service." This is BS. Ppl's homes burned bcz. of windstorm conditions.
Madison Bureaucrat3And, btw, has anyone priced one of those airstreams he's touting in the background? They ain't cheap. Not by a $100K longshot.
jimie3right out of the chump & trumplican playbook. Voter beware... project 2025,2026,2027...?
Kate Good2If you look up slimeball in the dictionary, his ugly mug is the reference photo.
NewPowerGeneration2He can go straight to Hell with all of the others.
I’m sorry, but no. I’m not affiliated with the campaign so I can be honest: I am sick of treating voters like recalcitrant children. Nithya is polling at 20%. Rae is polling at 4%. Voting for Rae is just helping Spencer Pratt. If you can’t see that then you need to grow up and get real.
HouserDave27"My politics align with maybe 5% of the American public as demonstrated by every single time a candidate with my exact politics is on the ballot. Why doesn't anyone understand that I'm right and gonna win?"
Robert Cruickshank17Well said. People need to stop treating elections like someone handed out a tasting flight at a winery. This isn't about which flavor you like best. It's about winning and holding power. A vote for Huang is a vote for Bass or Pratt to be the next mayor, full stop.
Tim Wicinski11While i am sorry Sam, i do enjoy Cranky Sam
Sarcazmos10I'm coping by just saying to myself that those 4% are just progressive crystal enthusiasts so they're kinda ok with Spencer Pratt winning the primary
Johnny Bluesky4It also just helps Karen Bass, who will likely win against Spencer Pratt, but has a real chance of losing to Nithya in a head to head matchup.
Swoletariat3Especially when they're both DSA, there should be some kind of mechanism to consolidate supporters.
Big Money Investigator2Wasn't Spencer Pratt bad with money and blew away his million dollar fortune overspending? Now, he's trying to use the government resources to pay himself? In what way is he going to contribute to a resourceful LA? That poll is disturbing.
Reality TV douche Spencer Pratt running for Mayor of LA. CA GOP overlords loving it Check out his comments... a bunch of rednecks from shithole southern states brainwashed by right wing media cheering him on America doesn't need anymore reality TV jagoff con men in government
Feisty Brunette3His own SISTER is telling people not to vote for him
Celiene O'Hara3What a JOKE! I hope to hell Los Angelenos don't fall for it! He's a walking turd, and he'll bankrupt that city in record time.
Paulette3The fact that anyone would vote for a washed up, overweight, pasty, abusive and broke man like Pratt is embarrassing. Can't seem to get it together, portrays himself as living in a trailer when in reality, he's in a hotel. Right, this is the guy I want fixing the housing problem in LA. :/
Spencer Pratt was just caught lying about living in a trailer to garner sympathy. He ACTUALLY lives in a $1,000+/night hotel in Bel Air! Oops…
Jordan Uhl15If you still use Instagram, that video is here: www.instagram.com/reel/DYSeKq3...
Simulflow2Not to mention, where'd he get that nice Airstream? Those don't come cheap. If he'd been in a wood-paneled 70s RV or something ... or a Volkswagen van with "Sexual Wizard" and an airbrush painting on the side ...
Only the dumbest people in Los Angeles are conned by grifting reality TV crisis actor Spencer Pratt.
CorsairBear 🦋3There are a shit ton of people buying his bullshit.
Angela 🇨🇦 Nasty Canadian 🇺🇦 🇬🇱🇩🇰2Yeah because reality show characters are so great at governing. 🤦♀️ Not this again, America.
Andrew2It is wildly terrifying how many people are falling for his bullshit. Especially those on the younger side. Doesn't help that all the LA media is owned by MAGA now so they are propping him up significantly. Karen Bass being allowed to run while being historically unpopular doesn't help the situation
Tyler Denk, the co-founder and CEO of beehiiv, the Substack competitor, says he’s all in on Spencer Pratt for LA mayor. Denk says, “I have never been politically active in my life, but I’d knock on doors for this guy.”
Quantummleap21Whitest shit he could have possibly said
Talonts18IDGAF what ANY CEO, ANYWHERE, thinks about who would be a good candidate. Because 99% of the time, it's about how that person will benefit them, and them only.
oldwomaninshoe.bsky.social9I am praying for a brain injury. I can’t live in this world with full cognitive abilities. It is too painful.
Cathy A.8Wasn’t this guy on Tik-Tok like a year ago begging for money because his LA home burned and his reality TV money was dried up? Also,likeTrump, his “crystal” business went bust. Yes, this guy is way into crystals. All-around douche bag. Hope LA isn’t dumb enough to vote for him. He’s gross.
Robert Cameron6White guy votes for white guy because white guy
aspano1.bsky.social5This isn’t politics- we’re in a MORAL crisis. A propaganda crisis. We need to be at war with this. We must boycott business that support immoral & hateful candidates-Who are really scapegoating people who can’t fight back- creating a smokescreen so they can divert your attention & line their pockets
B5“Excited” to see if we can go 3 for 3 on the CEOs of all the newsletter platforms being right wing psychos.
JelaniJones.bsky.social3An endorsement that's means nothing to anyone.
Susan Brooks ❌👑3Ugh. Why are all these people so loathsome?
EveningStarNM3FYI: Spencer Pratt is the austerity candidate. He wants to cut programs and services rather than raise taxes. mayorpratt.com#the-issues
fathefree.bsky.social3Fuck Spencer Pratt I don’t like him. Notice how right wing media tries to engineer these people into our local politics disguised as independents but all they say is maga slop @greatkazoo.bsky.social
Tony Jenson3Nothing damages the Tech Bro brand quite like a Tech bro endorsement outside his area of expertise.
blackanvil.bsky.social2Pretty much any man named "Tyler" should be smacked in the face with a bat
