Spencer Pratt's LA Exit Plan: Win or Leave

Spencer Pratt isn’t just running for mayor of Los Angeles—he’s essentially betting his residency on the outcome. The Hills alum recently revealed that if he doesn’t win the mayoral race, he’s prepared to pack up and leave the city entirely, trading Los Angeles for somewhere he feels safer, more stable, and mercifully free of what he calls“naked zombies.”

Speaking with comedian Adam Carolla, Pratt laid it on the line: If Karen Bass gets reelected or Nithya Raman wins the office, he’s done trying to make LA work. His reasoning centers on wanting to raise his kids in a place that aligns with his vision of the American dream—a statement that comes after years of living in a destroyed home situation and navigating the complexities of rebuilding his life in the city.

The stakes of his campaign go beyond typical political ambition. Pratt has also tied his mayoral victory to a pending lawsuit against Gavin Newsom’s state park, claiming a legal win could fund his rebuilding plans. Should he become mayor, he insists he’ll use those potential funds to help reconstruct Los Angeles. It’s a bold, interconnected strategy that frames his candidacy as inseparable from his personal financial and residential future.

Of course, Pratt’s campaign has already faced scrutiny. While he’s positioned himself as someone displaced by circumstances, reports revealed he’s been staying at the Hotel Bel-Air rather than living on the site of his destroyed home. Chelsea Handler also weighed in via Instagram, reminding voters that Pratt is a straight, white male former reality star with zero government experience—a pointed critique of his qualifications to replace Bass.

Yet Pratt continues the grind. He was spotted at the Ronda Rousey versus Gina Carano fight wearing Pratt LA branded mayoral merchandise and an“I voted”sticker, keeping his campaign alive at all hours. Whether his all-in approach resonates with voters ahead of the June 2 primary remains to be seen—but one thing’s clear: for Spencer Pratt, the next few months will determine not just his political future, but whether he stays in Los Angeles at all.
