Vivica A. Fox backs Karen Bass over Spencer Pratt run — Tmz News

Vivica A. Fox used tmz news in New York City on Wednesday, May 20, to draw a hard line between entertainment and politics, saying reality stars should be handled with care as Spencer Pratt runs for mayor of Los Angeles. She also made her pick plain: Karen Bass.

Fox on reality stars

“Well, we see where reality stars get us, right?” said. She followed it with, “That’s why the economy is in trouble right now, so y’all be careful with trusting these reality stars in political arenas.”

She added, “Good politicians, there’s a reason why they’re good politicians, because they make a career out of being a good politician.” That line put her squarely behind Bass, the incumbent mayor who has consistently led the polls in a race with 16 people on the ballot.

Pratt’s runoff push

Pratt is fighting with Councilmember Nithya Raman for a spot in the Nov. 3 runoff, a narrow lane in a city where Republicans make up less than 15% of registered voters. Donald Trump said he would like to see Pratt do well, and Pratt said, “Everybody wants me to succeed because L.A. is the most important city in the country.”

Pratt also said, “The only support I need is from moms that wanna feel safe in Los Angeles. I’m laser focused on that.” That framing keeps the campaign aimed at a specific slice of voters, even as Bass remains the polling favorite and the field stays crowded.

Bass holds the edge

Fox’s read is blunt: Bass is going to win, and Pratt still has to break through in a city that has not lined up behind him. The comment lands as a reminder that celebrity name recognition can get attention, but it does not replace the voting base Pratt needs to reach the runoff.
