Lisa Rinna, known for her appearances in numerous reality series, has publicly rejected the idea of supporting Spencer Pratt in his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles. Rinna recently expressed her views while attending the American Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, hosted by Queen Latifah.
Rinna’s Thoughts on the Mayoral Race
When asked about her stance on the L.A. mayoral race, Rinna stated she has not chosen a candidate. She decisively clarified that she does not support Pratt, a prominent figure from MTV’s “The Hills.” Pratt, who has recently gained popularity in the polls, has been critical of incumbent Karen Bass regarding her response to the devastating Palisades fire that occurred in January 2025.
Pratt’s Campaign and Its Challenges
Spencer Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, faced personal loss when they lost their home in the recent wildfires. Despite this, Rinna firmly stated that she prefers to support candidates with established political backgrounds. She emphasized, “I love him [Pratt], but we’ve already done that.” This remark reflects Rinna’s concerns regarding the impact of celebrity on politics, reminiscent of Donald Trump’s rise through reality television fame.
Political Preferences and Recommendations
During her interview, Rinna pointedly mentioned that she would not make a fitting mayor. She suggested that Los Angeles needs a candidate with prior political experience, such as Matt Mahan, the former mayor of San Jose, who is currently vying for the governor’s office in the state’s June 2 primary.
- Rinna does not support Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign.
- She favors candidates with political experience, like Matt Mahan.
- Pratt has been vocal against Karen Bass over city management issues.
Rinna’s Background in Entertainment
Lisa Rinna rose to fame through her role in the long-running soap opera “Days of Our Lives”. She has also appeared on the Bravo series “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” from 2014 to 2022. Currently, Rinna and her husband, Harry Hamlin, remain prominent figures in various talk shows and reality competitions.
As the mayoral race heats up, Rinna’s candid remarks spotlight the ongoing debate about the role of reality stars in politics and the importance of electing experienced candidates for public office.
