Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt says 'I will be done' with Los Angeles if Karen Bass wins again

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Reality TV star Spencer Pratt says he’s ready to pack up and leave Los Angeles for good if Mayor Karen Bass wins reelection or if Councilmember Nithya Raman takes City Hall instead.

The 42-year-old former 'The Hills' fixture, who has turned himself into a rogue mayoral candidate, said he has no plans to rebuild the $3.8 million Pacific Palisades home he lost in last year’s wildfire if the city’s current leadership stays in power.

Speaking on 'The Adam Carolla Show', Pratt made his position clear.

“If Karen Bass gets re-elected or Nithya [Raman] gets elected, I will be done with trying to live in LA,” Pratt said. “I'll go find somewhere my kids will not have to see naked zombies, and I can have the last American Dream somewhere. I will not rebuild if these people are in charge.”

Fire fallout and fury at  Los Angeles leadership

Pratt’s comments come after the Palisades Fire tore through LA in January last year, destroying his home along with more than 11,000 other structures and leaving billions of dollars in damage behind.

During the podcast appearance, host Adam Carolla pointed out that a nearby reservoir serving the Pacific Palisades area had been empty during the fires.

Pratt seized on the issue. “Right now, it's empty because they want $20 million to build a new cover. These people are diabolical,” he said.

The reality star has spent months hammering Bass over what he says was a failed response to the fires, while also making homelessness and d**g use central themes of his campaign.  

His jab about “naked zombies” was about LA’ ongoing struggles with homelessness and addiction issues.

Pratt has increasingly leaned into the role of anti-establishment outsider, painting himself as someone willing to say what career politicians will not.

Spencer Pratt’s outsider campaign picks up steam

Despite entering the race as a long-shot celebrity candidate, Pratt has managed to carve out support among frustrated voters unhappy with the direction of LA.

He previously argued he would rather face Raman in the race without Bass in the picture. “All the unions support Mayor Bass,” Pratt said. “You think it's easier to run against the incumbent mayor with all the unions, or a random city council member who has been a failure for six years?”

After Raman labeled him a “MAGA Republican,” Pratt pushed back hard on the idea that he belongs to any particular political faction.

“I represent all of Los Angeles,” Pratt told NBC Los Angeles. “I don't have a campaign manager. I don't have campaign consultants. There's no political party backing me.”

Polls suggest Pratt’s campaign has gone from celebrity sideshow to something city insiders can no longer completely laugh off.

A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll last month showed Bass leading with 25% support, followed by Raman at 17% and Pratt at 14%.

But Pratt’s momentum reportedly surged after his debate performance last week. According to polling conducted by NBC after the mayoral debate, 89% of viewers said Pratt came out on top against Bass and Raman.

Betting odds have also tightened. Current projections reportedly give Bass a 48% chance of winning, Pratt 28%, and Raman 20%.

LA voters are heading to the polls on June 2. A runoff is scheduled for November 3 if nobody clears the 50% mark.
