Spencer Pratt\u2019s sister Stephanie Pratt is now supporting her brother\u2019s campaign for Los Angeles<\/a> mayor months after claiming a vote for him was a “vote for stupidity.”<\/p>\n

“I admit I was the first person to tell people that they were idiots if they voted for my brother,” Stephanie Pratt told Vanity Fair<\/a> in an email related to a profile on him.<\/p>\n

She added, “Wow, was I wrong. He has spent every day since the fires finding the facts, the mistakes, the negligence, and uncovering the truth that they never wanted us to know.”<\/p>\n

In February, in a series of since-deleted X posts, she wrote, “Spencer has done great work for the palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor. A vote for him is a vote for stupidity.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “He’s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don’t be<\/a> fooled.”<\/p>\n

Stephanie mused over an “ideal world” where the Palisades received their own “mayor and police department<\/a>” but was more concerned with the current issues plaguing Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

“I’m worried about LA. I have no problem playing government but our city needs help,” Stephanie wrote.<\/p>\n

“Everyone saying I should support him no matter what. Sorry he beat me up when I was 18 & put me in the hospital. So no he doesn\u2019t belong in the government. Run the palisades all you want not LA,” Stephanie wrote on X.<\/p>\n

She added, “Leopards never change their spots. Stay in the palisades Spencer.”<\/p>\n

With less than a week before the primary in which the top two vote getters advance to the general election unless one person gets more than 50%, recent polls show a tight race between Pratt, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and L.A. City Council member Nithya Raman.<\/p>\n

Other high-profile supporters include Paris Hilton<\/a>, Dennis Quaid, Katharine McPhee and David Foster.<\/p>\n
