Spencer Pratt is still in the wake of not moving forward in the Los Angeles race against Karen Bass and multiple other candidates. However, he and his wife, singer and fellow reality star Heidi Montag, are facing a lawsuit following an alleged dog attack at their home in 2025.
TMZ obtained court documents in July 2026 that indicate Pratt and Montag are being sued by their former assistant, a man named Cole Gill. The ex-assistant claims to have been bitten by their Dutch Shepherd guard dog, Ego, while going to the Carpinteria, CA, home in November 2025 to retrieve a credit card in order to run errands for the couple.
Specifically, the attack is said to have occurred on November 17, and Gill states in the lawsuit that he was permitted by the “Hills” alums to enter the home. Regarding the bite, the man claims the Dutch Shepherd bit into his right thigh and left puncture wounds.
Gill also says that the encounter left him with additional injuries, resulting in permanent scarring as well as emotional trauma.
The Assistant Has Undergone Treatment
The lawsuit against Pratt and Montag continues with Gill discussing the medical care he’s received after the alleged attack. This includes scar-removal treatments and counseling. However, in the meantime, he’s also suffered a loss of income.
As a result of the November 2025 encounter, the former assistant is seeking damages for the lost wages, his various medical expenses, and other losses that came as a result of the bite while being at their home lawfully.
Pratt Recently Filed A Lawsuit Regarding The Election
The lawsuit against Pratt and Montag isn’t the only legal matter he’s involved in. According to ABC7, he accused his opponent, current Los Angeles Mayor Bass, of violating election law by electioneering too close to a polling place.
He said in a tweet, “Karen Bass just violated election law here. She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it. Well, those days are over. We just filed a formal complaint for illegally gaming the election. We must protect our democracy.”
The “Hill” alum added, “Electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. Soliciting votes at a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. These clear violations show a reckless disregard for the rule of law and our democratic process.”
He went on to say, “Someone in a position of power should be especially respectful of our democratic laws, but this is just emblematic of Karen’s mafia-like regime. It’s ‘rules for thee, but not for me.’”
Spencer Pratt Threatened ‘War’ Over Election Loss
Pratt’s race for Los Angeles mayor came to an end on June 8. After that, the reality star posted a clip to Instagram, captioned, “Saving LA – Phase III.” In it, Pratt denied he could leave the city, even though he had previously vowed to do so if his political race proved unsuccessful.
He also said, “You thought you could get rid of me that easily? I didn’t get in this for political power; I got in this to expose this corrupt machine, and nothing’s changed.”
Pratt continued, “And now I don’t have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don’t have a campaign to hamstring me now. It’s war.”
Pratt Says The Election Needs To Be Investigated
Weeks after his election loss, Pratt interviewed with The New York Post, sharing his thoughts on the results and his future. During the discussion, he was asked if he felt the election had been fair.
The 42-year-old responded, “There is a lot of evidence of fraud that needs to be investigated, but evidence is not the same thing as proof, so we must avoid drawing conclusions until we have proof of malfeasance.”
He then criticized the voting system, saying, “Regardless, everyone agrees that this system does not inspire any confidence. The ridiculous universal mail-in voting system, which was slipped in under the premise of a pandemic long since passed, leaves way too many openings for fraud.”
Regarding the election, he added, “There are too many human hands touching the ballot in between the voter and the tabulator. Whether or not there was any fraud, we will see. But this system is the Wild West, so it’s essentially impossible to audit for fraud.”
Still, Pratt stated that he feels ‘energized.’”
