Hollywood stars are weighing in after Spencer Pratt’s bid to become Los Angeles mayor came to an end, after the candidate failed to secure enough votes to advance to a runoff against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
Councilwoman Nithya Raman surged ahead in the June primary, setting up a November showdown with Bass while knocking the former “The Hills” star out of the race.
Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who has repeatedly slammed Pratt, celebrated the news.
“He clearly promised that if Karen Bass or Nithya Raman were elected mayor, he’s going to move out of L.A.,” Kimmel said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“He said he was done with L.A., and Spencer, if you’re watching, we are so, so sorry to see you go.”
“Moving is expensive, so, to help you out, we rented you a U-Haul. It has plenty of room. It’s got two beds, tables, chairs, all your crystals, whatever you want. Our staff spent the whole day decorating for you.”
Former co-host of “The View” and longtime political commentator Meghan McCain blasted Kimmel for his attack on Pratt, reposting the late-night host’s “heartless” jab.
“Jimmy Kimmel is a mean, heartless b*****d and no amount of on air crying will convince me or anyone else otherwise,” McCain wrote on X.
“The day he is off air will be a better day for the country.”
Superman star Dean Cain, who backed Pratt’s run for office, agreed with President Donald Trump and those who have claimed that the Democrats cheated to keep the reality star from advancing in the election. “They had to cheat to beat you, Spencer. But now they’re exposed,” Cain wrote in a post on X.
“If nothing else — you changed the game. Well done.”
Other stars like actor Dennis Quaid and fellow “The Hills” co-star Brody Jenner, who publicly supported Pratt’s run have yet to react on social media to the loss.
Actor Wilson Cruz had a similar reaction to Kimmel, writing, “Are you still here? Let me help.” The sarcastic comment included a screenshot of flights out of LA.
“Vanderpump Rules” star Katie Maloney laughed at those who thought Pratt had been robbed.
“Please stop with this. It’s so tired,” Maloney wrote on Threads.
Pratt commented on social media on Thursday about the ridiculously slow counting of votes in the second biggest city in the county.
“Are they done counting yet?” he wrote.
