Drew Carey ripped into former reality TV star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, calling him a \u201cserial scammer.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comedian wrote Friday on Threads<\/a>, \u201cI understand being angry\/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. Fuck this guy already.\u201d<\/p>\n Pratt responded to Carey\u2019s critique, claiming on Monday on X that Carey is mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files. A search of Carey\u2019s name in the Epstein files brings up a man named Jeff Davis telling Ghislane Maxwell, Epstein\u2019s imprisoned co-conspirator, in a 2002 email<\/a> that he allegedly had dinner with Carey.<\/p>\n Carey\u2019s representatives did not immediately respond to HuffPost\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n The former \u201cThe Hills\u201d star announced his run for the mayor of Los Angeles about one year after his home burned down during the 2025 Pacific Palisades fire. Pratt\u2019s campaign website lists \u201ccrisis leadership and emergency readiness,\u201d along with homelessness, as issues he plans to address if elected.<\/p>\n Many Republicans<\/a>, including President Donald Trump<\/a>, have endorsed Pratt, who has raised more than 10 times <\/a>as much in donations<\/a> as the incumbent, Karen Bass. The TV personality\u2019s sister, Stephanie Pratt, however, has warned against voting for her brother, calling him \u201cunqualified and inexperienced,\u201d according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n She wrote on X in February, \u201cA vote for him is a vote for stupidity. He\u2019s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don\u2019t be fooled.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drew Carey ripped into former reality TV star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, calling him a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":693620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,252688,75,1522,246311],"class_list":["post-693619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-drew-carey","tag-entertainment","tag-los-angeles","tag-spencer-pratt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
