Reality television personality and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt signaled he is not stepping away from politics after last week’s primary, releasing a video Friday in which he claimed to possess damaging material involving his political opponents.

Pratt, who did not advance to the general election, alleged that evidence in his possession could ultimately force either Mayor Karen Bass or city councilmember Nithya Raman to resign. However, he did not publicly release any evidence and did not provide details supporting the claims.

In the video, Pratt suggested that recordings may exist of one of the candidates “doing and saying something” that could lead to resignation and said the material would be held until the November general election.

He also sharply criticized both Democratic candidates, blaming current city leadership for Los Angeles’ ongoing challenges and arguing that conditions in the city would continue to worsen under their direction.

Pratt claimed business owners had told him they were considering leaving Los Angeles, which he argued could reduce revenue available for public services including infrastructure, emergency response, and crime prevention.

The former candidate also responded to critics following his primary defeat, including television host Jimmy Kimmel, with whom he has publicly exchanged remarks during the campaign.

Pratt insisted he would remain politically active and rejected suggestions that his campaign had been temporary or symbolic, saying his goal remains exposing what he described as a political establishment resistant to change.

The comments followed a closely watched primary race. Early returns had suggested Pratt could advance to the runoff, but later-arriving mail ballots shifted the standings. With more than 95% of votes counted, Karen Bass remained in first place with 34.3% of the vote, followed by Nithya Raman at 29%, while Pratt finished at 25.5%, trailing Raman by roughly 30,000 votes.

Campaign seasons often produce dramatic promises and high-stakes rhetoric, but allegations tend to attract the most attention when they move from previews to proof.

For now, Pratt’s claims remain unverified publicly, while the race moves toward the general election between the remaining candidates, but we know that sounds about right.
