Stephanie Pratt has publicly criticized her brother Spencer Pratt’s campaign for Los Angeles mayor, detailing a series of personal allegations against him that she claims disqualify him from leading the city.

Spencer Pratt, who rose to fame on MTV’s “The Hills” in the mid-2000s, announced his candidacy for mayor more than a month ago. Spencer Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, previously filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles City following the destruction of their home in the Pacific Palisades fire.

On Saturday, Stephanie Pratt posted multiple messages on X criticizing his bid and revealing past allegations, later removing them. The siblings have long had a strained relationship.

In her posts, Stephanie Pratt questioned Spencer’s qualifications and reasons for seeking office. “Spencer has done great work for the Palisades,” she wrote, referring to the Pacific Palisades community. However, she argued that he is not suited to lead the city.

“LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” she stated. “A vote for him is a vote for stupidity.”

She suggested she would support Spencer in a more limited leadership role within the Palisades area. “In an ideal world, the Palisades would have their own mayor and police department,” she wrote. “I would love him to be in charge of that area.”

Stephanie also alleged that Spencer’s campaign is driven by self-interest, claiming he was “just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir,” referencing his January book, “The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain.”

In response to backlash over her posts, she shared more detailed accusations about their past. “Everyone saying I should support him no matter what,” she wrote. “Sorry he beat me up when I was 18 and put me in the hospital. So no, he doesn’t belong in government. Run the Palisades all you want—not LA.”

She also alleged that Spencer introduced her to drugs during her teenage years. “Almost forgot how it all started—he’s the one who got me hooked on hard-core drugs at 15,” she wrote. “I’ve kept this a secret for years. He also had a hidden drug addiction. Now do you get why he shouldn’t be running LA? Thank you. Amen.”

Stephanie referenced an arrest Spencer faced in September 2010 in Costa Rica on suspicion of felony firearm possession, though it is unclear whether charges were formally filed or if he appeared in court.

In her final message, Stephanie emphasized that her posts were not intended to gain attention. “I have no interest in fame,” she wrote. “I’m taking a course to become a registered behavior technician (RBT). My passion is helping children and adults with autism.” She added, “I don’t even use Instagram.”

Stephanie reiterated her commitment: “I’m serious about my new career helping people.”
