Spencer Pratt appeared last year in “Got to Get Out,” an eight-episode Hulu series about reality stars living in a mansion.
At the time, his home had just burned down, and he and wife Heidi Montag were taking whatever offers came their way. On the press tour, he was asked whether he would be interested in doing a show focused on their family. The short answer: of course.
“We’re at a place now, with having no house, whatever opportunities — like it’s yes, yes, yes,” Pratt explained to Entertainment Tonight last year. “It’s like the 2009, Kim K-level hustle.”
Pratt is now running for mayor of Los Angeles, and generating attention in a way he hasn’t since the early days of “The Hills” (2006-10), the MTV show that introduced him to America as “Heidi’s boyfriend.” In the process, he has tried to distance himself from reality TV, telling Fox 11 in March that, “The reality, pun intended, is that was from 20 years ago.”
But last week, TMZ reported that Pratt plans to turn his mayoral run into a show, and that the cameras would keep rolling even if he takes office. The report earned an unusually strong denial from Pratt’s publicist — “Absolutely false and you can confirm that on the record” — but in the days since, the statements out of Pratt’s camp have left some wiggle room.
