TMZ, the entertainment site, has been getting into politics recently. The site recently looked into President Donald Trump's "health crisis" over Easter weekend (when he was out golfing) and ICE agents dragging a man out of a hospital through an angry mob, failing to mention that he was only there for an evaluation, during which he threw himself to the floor and screamed, after he got violent with officers.
Last month, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt released a powerful campaign ad featuring himself standing in front of the trailer he and his wife were living in after their home in the Pacific Palisades had burned down.
TMZ has an exclusive report (complete with a flushed-face emoji in the post) revealing that Pratt is staying at the Bel-Aire hotel, not in his airstream trailer.

TMZ staff report:
Spencer Pratt has gained traction in his campaign for L.A. Mayor by showing what he says Karen Bass did to his family — forcing them to live in a trailer after his home burned down. But TMZ has learned … he's traded in the trailer for one of the swankiest hotels in L.A. … but Spencer says he was forced to ditch the trailer because of death threats.
Oh wow, so why isn’t he staying in a house?

Why can't he live at his house? Such a mystery.

How about we talk about why he needs a hotel in the first place?

HIS HOUSE BURNED DOWN.
You think he’d rather have a hotel or his home back?
Why isn’t he staying in his house, TMZ?

Cool cool. Why isn’t he living in the house where the airstream is now?

Shucks, what happened to his home?

Why doesn't he have a house? What happened? You hacks.

Hmmm... maybe you could use your investigative skills to find out why he's staying at a hotel?

What happened to his house?

How is this a story? You trying to get him harassed.
— Veritas Libertas (@VeritasLiberta8) May 13, 2026
At least he’s not in Ghana.
Excellent job exposing him and his family to harassment. I'm sure you are proud.

There probably isn’t enough room for security in his trailer. Fortunately there’s room in the hotel since you just disclosed his location to make sure he’s harassed.

Pratt had this to say in response to TMZ's big scoop:
Hey guys, why don’t they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place?
— Spencer Pratt (@spencerpratt) May 13, 2026
Karen Bass let my home burn down.
Also 6,000 of my neighbors. NBD. https://t.co/mj1QMW1NZr
What an exclusive. Did Bass' communications team write it?
