Spencer Pratt continues to fiercely counter his most vocal detractors.
Widely recognized from his stint on the reality TV show “The Hills,” Pratt is now making waves with his foray into politics as he campaigns to become the next mayor of Los Angeles. His bid has been gaining momentum, attracting both supporters and critics, including “Hacks” actress Hannah Einbinder, who voiced her opposition at a recent event.
“Los Angeles is a city with immense wealth, and there are many who claim to be Democrats or left-leaning, yet their primary concern seems to be money, which is why they end up supporting candidates like Spencer Pratt,” Einbinder remarked to Variety. “It’s crucial to remember that he has Donald Trump’s endorsement.”
She emphasized, “It’s important to stand against such influences.”
While acknowledging that no candidate in the Los Angeles mayoral race is flawless and expressing her own disappointment, Einbinder revealed her support for Nithya Raman.
In response, Pratt shared a video of her remarks on X, commenting, “She speaks from a red carpet, with armed security at her side, entirely shielded from the harsh realities that the children and residents of Los Angeles face daily.”
He continued, “I’m glad she doesn’t have to suffer the consequences of Karen and Nithya’s failures, but she’s in an elite minority and the rest of us want change.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to Einbinder for comment.

It’s not the first time Pratt has taken the time to address celebrity criticism of his campaign. Earlier this week, when Lisa Rinna said that the next mayor of Los Angeles shouldn’t be a “reality star,” he was quick with a comeback.
“Hey Lisa, if you’re against me because I was on a TV show in my 20’s, wait til you learn what Karen Bass was doing in her 20’s…” he wrote on X while sharing an edited video of an interview he did with Fox 11.
“[Bass] was in Cuba learning how to make bombs with the people that would then go bomb Capitol Hill,” Pratt said in the video. “So, if we’re looking at backgrounds, I’m pretty proud of what I was doing at 20 on reality television. Even though I may not have been the most likable character, it was still TV versus trying to destroy America and going to Cuba 20 times and praising Fidel Castro.”
“Against my opponent, my background is pretty strong,” he added.
Chelsea Handler shared a video on Instagram earlier this month that she called “a reminder that a straight white male former reality star that has no previous experience in government should not be a legitimate political candidate” — Pratt addressed that criticism as well.
“Most of you have probably never heard of Chelsea Handler, so here’s an introduction!” he wrote, attaching a video of comedian Shane Gillis at the recent Netflix roast of Kevin Hart.
In the video, Gillis said, “Chelsea Handler went to dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s house in 2010. That’s just a fun one. You can look it up, there’s articles. It wasn’t like a big party, there was, like, seven people there. It was like, Prince Andrew and Woody Allen were there.”
In a poll released Thursday by the L.A. Times, Mayor Karen Bass has the support of 26% of voters, Raman has 25% and Pratt has 22%.
