Drew Carey Goes Nuclear on Spencer Pratt, Calls the LA Mayoral Hopeful a “Serial Scammer Without a Soul”

Drew Carey just eviscerated Spencer Pratt on social media amid the reality star’s bid for Los Angeles mayor. And he did it without a single ounce of diplomatic restraint.

The Price Is Right host waded into political waters with a Threads post, encouraging LA residents to think again before the June primaries.

“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their ass,” Carey began his update. “I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. F**k this guy already.”

Yes, the beloved game show host really said all of that. Out loud. On the internet.

Carey took to Threads to sound off on Pratt, who is currently running for mayor of Los Angeles. The comedian and television host appeared frustrated by growing support for Pratt’s campaign and made his feelings known in blunt fashion.

The timing is pointed. If no candidate tops 50% in the June 2 primary, the top two finishers will face off in November, meaning the stakes for Carey’s warning couldn’t be higher.

So, how did “Prattfall” get here? Pratt officially launched his bid for Los Angeles mayor in January during a “They Let Us Burn” rally in Pacific Palisades. The announcement came exactly one year after Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, lost their home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

Pratt, the husband of Laguna Beach star Heidi Montag, 39, with whom he shares two sons, Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3, announced in January that he was running for LA mayor.

Pratt has described himself as an “independent community advocate,” despite reportedly being a registered Republican. His campaign has reportedly seen a recent surge in donations, placing him closer to incumbent mayor Karen Bass and other candidates in the race.

Pratt himself has been leaning hard into the campaign rhetoric. “We don’t have to accept the filth and the decline,” he wrote in a recent post. “We have the greatest slice of heaven on Earth with our city, and we deserve better. Vote for Pratt. Vote for LA. Vote TODAY. Let’s clean this city together.”

And he’s got some heavy hitters in his corner. President Donald Trump also recently praised Pratt while speaking to reporters. “I’d like to see him do well,” Trump said. “He’s a character.” Among those also backing Pratt are Joe Rogan. In other words, only the best people are supporting Pratt.

Carey’s post ignited a full-on social media brawl. In the comments, Threads users were divided in their reactions. One who agreed with Carey’s stance wrote, “Thank god you continue to show what a great guy you are. It is unfathomable that his being elected might be a possibility.”

However, other Threads users were displeased with Carey’s take on Pratt, with one commenting, “Seems to me you have changed quite a bit from the old Drew we know, respect, and love. SAD.” Another fired back: “Geez, your definition of competence is incompetence! Get your head out of your own ass.”

Carey is far from alone in his skepticism. Other celebrities, including Chrishell Stause, have also voiced their opposition to Pratt’s mayoral campaign, with Stause calling for an end to reality star politicians. Chelsea Handler also encouraged her fans not to vote for The Hills alum for mayor.

Pratt’s sister Stephanie Pratt, meanwhile, has voiced her own opposition to his becoming mayor. When your own family is a “no” vote, things get complicated fast.

There was also chatter about a potential reality show shadowing the campaign. It was reported earlier this month that he’d inked a deal to do a reality show about his run, but his reps downplayed that idea, saying, “This is a non-starter as there is no signed contract. Nothing has been pitched, nothing has been filmed, there is no contact or deal of any sort in existence.”

With less than two weeks until primary day, Los Angeles voters are left to sort out quite the field. Drew Carey has made his opinion crystal clear. Whether the City of Angels listens is another story entirely.
