Spencer Pratt was seen filming at the site of his former home in Pacific Palisades on the Fourth of July, more than a year after it was destroyed by wildfires. The appearance came shortly after his unsuccessful bid for Los Angeles mayor, from which he was eliminated in the primary election.
Pratt, accompanied by a film crew, was documented at the property where he had lived with his wife Heidi Montag and their two sons for approximately four years before the January 2025 fires. During the filming, he wore a t-shirt parodying the streetwear brand Anti-Social Social Club, with the text altered to 'Anti-Socialist Social Club.' He sat at a table set up among the rubble, spoke on camera, and appeared distraught while discussing the devastation.
A cameraman filmed him near an Airstream trailer, which had previously featured in his campaign advertisements. Pratt had claimed to be living in the trailer following the fire, but reports later indicated he was staying at the Hotel Bel-Air.
Post-Mayoral Election Remarks
Weeks after being eliminated from the mayoral race, where incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman secured spots in the November runoff, Pratt posted a defiant message on social media. He did not offer congratulations to the leading candidates, instead leveling harsh criticism and what the Daily Mail described as "vitriol." Pratt had been critical of the city's disaster management throughout his campaign, particularly in light of the wildfires that devastated Los Angeles County.
In a video posted online, Pratt stated his intention was not for political power but "to expose this corrupt machine." He also referenced New York City Mayor Eric Adams, calling him "the communist," though Adams identifies as a Democratic Socialist. Pratt also claimed to possess a recording of one of the candidates that could lead to their resignation, without specifying which candidate.
Pratt's campaign had frequently highlighted the wildfires, the most significant fire disaster in Los Angeles history. His concession message, posted after the primary results, expressed his view that "nothing's changed" and declared, "It's war."
