Reality TV star Spencer Pratt has joined a lawsuit against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, alleging negligence in the Palisades fire that destroyed homes, including that of Bass' brother. The lawsuit, filed by Kenneth Bass and others, names multiple agencies as defendants. Pratt, who recently lost his mayoral bid to Bass, publicly endorsed the legal action, calling it a response to Bass' alleged reckless negligence. The mayor's office stated that the lawsuit includes thousands of plaintiffs and 18 defendants, with the City Attorney's Office handling the defense.
Pratt's campaign focused heavily on animal welfare, a theme that resonated with some voters. He emphasized animal rights in his platform, contrasting with other candidates who also addressed the issue. Meanwhile, the lawsuit against Bass centers on the Palisades fire, which caused significant property damage and personal loss, including the destruction of Kenneth Bass' home. The legal action targets the City of Los Angeles, the LA Department of Water and Power, and other agencies, alleging their actions contributed to the fire's devastation.
