Sister Said No Way—Now She's Spencer Pratt's Biggest Backer

Politics makes for strange bedfellows, but family drama? That takes it to another level entirely. Stephanie Pratt just pulled off one of the more unexpected political reversals in recent memory—and it involves her own brother, Spencer Pratt, who’s running for mayor of Los Angeles.

Back in February, Stephanie was crystal clear about her position: voting for Spencer would be a mistake. She called him unqualified and inexperienced, warning L.A. that the city didn’t need another candidate lacking the chops for the job. Fair criticism, or so it seemed at the time. But something changed between then and now, and Stephanie’s doing a complete 180.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she admitted she was dead wrong. Spencer, she explains, has been grinding nonstop since the L.A. fires, digging through facts, uncovering mistakes, investigating negligence—doing the kind of detailed work that separates serious candidates from the noise. Her language shifted from dismissal to genuine respect.“Wow, was I wrong,”she confessed, and she’s now backing him publicly.

That’s a significant endorsement coming from his sister, especially given how rocky their relationship has historically been. For Spencer’s campaign, having a family member flip from critic to supporter sends a message: people are listening to his work, and it’s changing minds. The sibling skeptic becoming an advocate is the kind of authentic political momentum that paid advertising can’t buy.

The real test, though? Can Spencer convince the broader L.A. electorate the same way he convinced Stephanie? A sister’s endorsement is heartfelt, but voters will want to see the receipts—the same facts, the same investigation, the same evidence that turned a doubter into a believer.
