Spencer Pratt’s sister, Stephanie Pratt, has reversed her stance and is now backing her brother’s campaign for the Los Angeles mayoral seat. This change comes months after previously criticizing the idea as “a vote for stupidity.”
In an email to Vanity Fair, she admitted to initially urging people against supporting Spencer. “I admit I was the first person to tell people that they were idiots if they voted for my brother,” she stated.
Stephanie acknowledged that Spencer has been dedicated to uncovering facts and exposing errors related to past fires. “Wow, was I wrong. He has spent every day since the fires finding the facts, the mistakes, the negligence, and uncovering the truth that they never wanted us to know,” she noted.
Back in February, Stephanie’s since-deleted posts claimed, “Spencer has done great work for the palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor. A vote for him is a vote for stupidity.”
She once suggested that Spencer’s campaign could be a means to remain in the spotlight and sell his memoir. “He’s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir; don’t be fooled,” she asserted online.
Further expressing her concerns about Los Angeles, Stephanie imagined an ‘ideal world’ where local regions like the Palisades had their own leadership. She wrote, “I’m worried about LA. I have no problem playing government but our city needs help.”
“Everyone saying I should support him no matter what. Sorry he beat me up when I was 18 & put me in the hospital. So no he doesn’t belong in the government. Run the palisades all you want not LA,” she wrote.
Spencer’s campaign began in January, on the anniversary of losing his home in the Palisades Fire. Since launching, he has positioned himself as an anti-establishment figure in the tight race against current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and City Council member Nithya Raman.
Notable figures like Paris Hilton, Dennis Quaid, Katharine McPhee, and David Foster also support Spencer Pratt in his political endeavor.
Fox News Digital sought to reach out for a comment from Pratt’s campaign. Recent polling shows the election remains closely contested with the primary concluding less than a week from now.
