Stephanie Pratt Shifts Stance to Support Brother Spencer Pratt’s LA Mayoral Run

Stephanie Pratt has now changed her position to back her brother Spencer Pratt in his bid for Los Angeles mayor. This shift comes months after she called a vote for him a ‘vote for stupidity.’ Stephanie admitted her earlier criticism, acknowledging, ‘I was the first person to call voters idiots if they supported my brother,’ she told Vanity Fair in a recent email.

In a significant reversal, Stephanie praised Spencer’s efforts since the devastating fires in their community. ‘He’s been dedicated to uncovering the facts, exposing negligence, and revealing truths they wanted to hide,’ she elaborated.

Earlier this year, Stephanie had criticized Spencer’s qualifications in a series of deleted posts. She stated, ‘LA does not need an unqualified mayor. A vote for Spencer is a vote for stupidity.’ Her past comments included concerns about his motives, suggesting he was more focused on fame and promoting his memoir.

Stephanie contemplated a scenario where the Palisades had its mayor and police department, but emphasized her concerns about Los Angeles’s pressing issues. ‘I’m worried about LA and our city’s need for help,’ she noted.

Despite pressure to show family loyalty, Stephanie candidly referenced personal history. ‘He put me in the hospital at 18; he doesn’t belong in government,’ she wrote, indicating support for his influence in the Palisades but not for the entire city.

Spencer Pratt launched his candidacy in January, marking a year since losing his home in the Palisades Fire. Since then, his campaign has gained momentum, aligning him as an anti-establishment candidate. The polls reflect a close race with incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and city council member Nithya Raman.

Public figures such as Paris Hilton, Dennis Quaid, Katharine McPhee, and David Foster have also thrown their weight behind Spencer’s campaign. With the primary approaching, attention remains on how the votes will split among the candidates.
