Stephanie Pratt Slams Brother Spencer's L.A. Mayoral Campaign as 'A Vote for Stupidity'

Spencer Pratt’s bid for Los Angeles mayor just got a public rebuke from his own family.

Stephanie Pratt, the reality television star’s younger sister and fellow cast member on MTV’s “The Hills,” posted a series of messages on X in February calling his campaign a vanity project. “Spencer has done great work for the Palisades,” she wrote. “But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor. A vote for him is a vote for stupidity.”

The posts, which have since been deleted, went further. Stephanie accused her brother of using the campaign to “stay famous and sell his memoir” — a reference to his recently published book “The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain.”

From Palisades Hero to Political Candidate

Spencer Pratt, 42, announced his candidacy in January at a “They Let Us Burn” rally held on the one-year anniversary of the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfires that destroyed the home he shared with wife Heidi Montag. He positioned himself as a populist outsider, telling supporters at the rally: “The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling, it’s fundamentally broken. Business as usual is a death sentence for LA.”

The campaign has gained real traction. A UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs poll released in early April puts Pratt at 11 percent — good enough for second place behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass at 25 percent. City councilmember Nithya Raman sits third at 9 percent. Forty percent of voters remain undecided ahead of the June 2 primary, where the top two finishers will advance to November’s general election.

For residents across the San Fernando Valley, including Burbank, the race matters. The next mayor will oversee wildfire rebuilding, housing policy, and public safety decisions that ripple well beyond L.A. city limits into neighboring communities.

A Family Feud Goes Public — Again

The Pratt siblings’ complicated relationship has played out on camera for years. Stephanie referenced that history in her posts, calling back to Spencer and Heidi Montag’s public feud with Lauren Conrad during “The Hills” and writing that “leopards never change their spots.”

She also suggested a more limited political role might suit him better: “In an ideal world the Palisades would have their own mayor and police department. I would love him to be mayor of Palisades but not LA with 4 million people.”

The posts included more serious allegations. Stephanie claimed Spencer had physically assaulted her when she was 18 and introduced her to drugs at 15. She also referenced a 2010 arrest in Costa Rica involving illegal firearms, saying Spencer called their father from jail after an eight-year estrangement she attributed to his involvement with what she described as a cult.

Spencer Pratt has not publicly responded to his sister’s comments.

What It Means for the Race

Whether Stephanie’s broadside moves the needle remains to be seen. Spencer Pratt’s campaign has drawn skepticism from political observers who view him as a celebrity candidate, but his polling numbers tell a different story. His name recognition from reality television and his visible role in the wildfire recovery effort have given him a platform that traditional candidates struggle to match.

The primary is less than two months away. With 40 percent of voters still undecided, the race remains wide open — family drama and all.
