Chelsea Handler implored her followers against voting for Spencer Pratt to become the next Los Angeles mayor.
“Oh, hi, if you’re seeing this video, this is a reminder that a straight, white male [who is a] former reality star that has no previous experience in government should not be a legitimate political candidate,” Handler, 51, said in a Friday, May 15, video shared via TikTok. “Have we learned anything yet?”
Handler uploaded a photo of Pratt, 42, next to one of President Donald Trump, who famously hosted The Apprentice nearly a decade before running for office. (Trump, 79, was elected president non-consecutively in 2016 and 2024.)
“The bar is on the f***ing floor, people,” Handler lamented on Friday. “I need you to jump over it. OK thank you, have a nice day!”
Pratt, best known for his appearance on MTV’s The Hills alongside wife Heidi Montag, announced his candidacy for mayor in January.
“The only way I see God letting my parents’ house burn down and my house burn down is that God knows it’s the only way to turn me against a system that lets this happen to tens of thousands of people,” Pratt exclusively told Us Weekly in his cover story. “In a best-case scenario, I would have helped at least 10,000 people to get 70 percent of what they got taken from them. That would be poetic.”
He continued, “Winning the mayor’s race will be a victory for truth and transparency, which is what I’ve been fighting for this whole year. The end goal is the same: to shine a light into the darkness.”
Pratt and Montag, 39, lost their home in the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles in January 2025.
The Hills star Audrina Patridge honestly hopes her former costar Spencer Pratt becomes the next mayor of Los Angeles. “I’m actually excited,” Partridge, 40, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, May 1, while attending Calamigos Ranch Resort & Spa’s Leading Hotels of the World accreditation celebration. “He impressed me. I listened to some of his […]
“We put all of our money into our house and our life to build something for our kids to put in their name and every detail we just kept on every year for the last eight years,” Pratt told Us last year. “Our house was 3,000 square feet. It is not a mansion in the Palisades. Everything was perfect from the stoves to the washing machines.”
He added at the time, “That’s all we put our money into — and then we go and eat nice groceries at Erewhon. But our life was like, ‘Put our money into our house, eat clean groceries and that’s it.’ We go on one trip a year to see Heidi’s parents in Colorado.”
As Pratt is focused on his campaign, he’s received mixed reviews of his candidacy but continues to remain unbothered about any backlash.
