Spencer Pratt Names Two Hollywood Heavyweights as Supporters of His Mayoral Campaign

The reality star says the private backing follows a poll showing him at 22 percent, ahead of Nithya Raman and closing in on Karen Bass.

  • Spencer Pratt claims Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx privately endorsed his Los Angeles mayoral campaign, urging him to make the city's streets safe again.
  • Pratt entered the mayoral race after losing his home in the 2025 Palisades Fire, basing his platform on a "treatment-led recovery model that addresses mental illness and addiction."
  • An Emerson College poll shows Pratt at 22 percent with the June 2 primary approaching, trailing incumbent Mayor Karen Bass at 30 percent while leading Councilperson Nithya Raman at 19 percent.
  • Neither Foxx nor DiCaprio commented on the claims, while Bass's spokesperson Alex Stack dismissed the campaign, stating, "Spencer is just mad that his supporters are AI cartoons."
  • Twelve candidates are vying to unseat Bass in the June 2 primary, where a candidate wins the office outright by securing more than 50 percent of the total vote.
