Spencer Pratt is now a real political contender in Los Angeles, with a shot to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. But he’s also a veteran player in the reality TV space — and knows how to parlay his penchant for getting attention into an entertainment deal.
Front of mind for Team Pratt right now is the June 2 primary in the mayoral race. Yet, intriguingly, there’s also been scattered rumors about how his unconventional campaign can be turned into TV content that harkens back to his MTV days.
TMZ, which this week reported that Pratt is living at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air instead of, as he’d claimed, a trailer on his burnt-out Pacific Palisades lot, followed up that story with an item on May 14 that he’d “inked a deal” for a reality series about his campaign run and, should he be elected, term in office.
The report noted that Pratt and wife Heidi Montag were partnering with Boardwalk Pictures, explaining that “the production team is about to begin filming with Spencer, his wife Heidi Montag, and their kids throughout his political journey.”
Pratt’s spokesperson downplayed the project in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: “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. Cameras have not been rolling and there are no plans at all for cameras to film.”
