Reality TV star Lisa Rinna says she does not support Spencer Pratt’s bid to become mayor of Los Angeles, telling Variety that she is “a reality person” and that voters “wouldn’t want” her in the role. The comments come as the Los Angeles mayoral race is described as fractured, with multiple candidates and different political blocs competing for attention.
Several outlets report that Rinna’s remarks focus on the idea that electing reality TV figures to public office is not desirable, and she frames her own celebrity background as a reason voters should consider alternatives. Fox News also reports that some fans react with backlash to Rinna’s dismissal of Pratt’s campaign, characterizing the exchange as part of a broader public-facing clash between entertainment personalities.
Fox News additionally cites comments from Mauricio Umansky, who is described as slamming “Hollywood elites” supporting Karen Bass and defending Spencer Pratt’s candidacy. The coverage also includes hints that Umansky could pursue a mayoral run himself, though the primary statements highlighted across reports center on Rinna’s refusal to back Pratt and her critique of reality TV in politics.
