Drew Carey blasts Spencer Pratt with serial scammer claim
drew carey sharply attacked Spencer Pratt’s run for Los Angeles mayor in a Threads post, telling Los Angeles residents to think twice before the June primaries. He called Pratt a “serial scammer” and said voters should back someone competent instead.
“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a--,” Carey wrote. He added, “I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass.”
Pratt’s January campaign
Pratt launched his campaign in January after becoming dissatisfied with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. The 42-year-old has also tried to cast himself as a champion for Los Angeles residents since losing his home during the deadly 2025 Palisades wildfire.
That campaign has already carried baggage. Earlier in 2025, Pratt, Heidi Montag, and more than a dozen additional property owners filed a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles and LADWP after the fire, accusing LADWP of operating the water supply system with the reservoir drained and unusable as a cost-saving measure.
Sunday message from Pratt
Pratt pushed his own case on Sunday, urging voters to “think bigger for LA.” He wrote that residents do not have to accept “the filth and the decline,” and said, “We have the greatest slice of heaven on Earth with our city, and we deserve better.”
He closed that post with, “Vote for Pratt. Vote for LA. Vote TODAY. Let’s clean this city together.” The campaign has also drawn scrutiny over Pratt’s registered Republican status and a recent nod from President Donald Trump, giving Carey’s attack a more pointed edge in a race already shaped by anger over the city’s response to the Palisades fire.
June primaries pressure
The immediate takeaway is blunt: Carey has tried to make Pratt politically toxic just as the June primaries approach. Pratt’s campaign can still lean on anti-establishment energy and wildfire fury, but the Threads blast puts a celebrity megaphone behind the argument that his bid is not ready for a serious ballot test.
