Stop everything, hide your crystals, and cancel your aura cleanse, because Spencer Pratt just went full political thriller and announced he is running for Mayor of Los Angeles!!! Needless to say, fans and Angelenos have THOUGHTS about it!!! Yes, THAT Spencer Pratt: reality TV villain turned wellness whisperer turned wildfire survivor turned now maybe future mayor? TBH, this is not the 2026 plot twist many saw coming. Buuut it might be the one Hollywood needs! Related: Spencer Dishes On Why Lauren Conrad REALLY Hated Him On 'The Hills'! The big reveal went down at an emotional protest in the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday - which was the one-year anniversary of the devastating early 2025 Palisades Fire that ripped through the area. Pratt's home was among the thousands lost, and he made sure nobody forgot it. Standing among the burned-out ruins of what used to be his neighborhood, Spencer showed up in a black Pacific Palisades t-shirt. And he came to torch the system. In front of a hyped-up crowd, the Hills alum unloaded a speech that felt less like a campaign announcement and more like a mic drop aimed directly at City Hall: "The system in Los Angeles isn't struggling, it's fundamentally broken. It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I'm done waiting for someone to take real action. That's why I am running for mayor. And let me be clear, this just isn't a campaign, this is a mission, and we're gonna expose the system." Whoa! Spencer's wife was there, too - clearly in her ride-or-die era. And if you thought Heidi Montag was staying quiet on the sidelines, think again. After the event, she told The New York Post that she was incredibly proud of her husband. Then, she also went scorched earth on the powers that be: "They intentionally let us burn before, during and after. There was no accountability. It was gross negligence. They let this happen. It wasn't a natural disaster or something that was unavoidable. It was their fault, and we need the accountability we deserve." And she's not the only one who has thoughts about Spencer's budding political career!!! Here are just a few of the many (many, many, many) social media takes popping up on X (Twitter) and elsewhere, reacting to Spencer's announcement that he is running to become the mayor of El Lay: "It's so comical yet so perfect" "He is the dark horse to emerge from this tragedy." "Another Arnold Schwarzenegger!" "he's the perfect man for the job." "If this wasn't such a serious time in our history, this would be a glorious popcorn worthy show." "Well sometimes people have to put their money where their mouth is. I hope he wins." "Why not? It will bring the accountability conversation onto the debate dais and that helps his community. But what are his policy interests beyond public safety failure? And is he living in the city?" "It's an uphill battle, but worth a shot." "Los Angeles is more than just the Pacific Palisades. I hope he's ready to show he cares about all of LA and not just the zip codes where celebrities live." "Crazy timeline" "I mean the president is a reality star so why not" "I never thought I would see the day. He does seem to have practical thoughts about governments role in society." "This is objectively hilarious" "It's weird isn't it lol. But good for him. He will do great things." So, yeah, 'Spencer for mayor' is now officially a thing! Whether you think this a serious political movement, a righteous post-fire crusade, or a publicity stunt, one thing is clear: El Lay politics just got a lot messier, and way more reality-TV adjacent. We'll be watching every second of it!! What about U??
