Spencer Pratt Mocks Karen Bass As Report Reveals Action Her Brother Took Over Palisades Fire

Former MTV reality star Spencer Pratt jabbed at incumbent Mayor Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) when he learned that the mayor’s own brother had joined a class-action lawsuit against the city over the Palisades fire.

Pratt announced that he and his wife, fellow reality star Heidi Montag, were suing Los Angeles almost immediately after the deadly fire destroyed their home — but he responded on Sunday to the news that Kenneth D. Bass was also suing over the loss of his multi-million-dollar Malibu home.

“I am proud to be teaming up with Karen Bass’ brother in suing his sister for her reckless negligence that led to the destruction of our homes,” Pratt captioned a clip from a local news report. “I hope their Thanksgiving dinner isn’t too awks. I know ours hasn’t been the same since last year …”

The ABC affiliate revealed court documents that showed Kenneth D. Bass as a plaintiff in a case filed in May, in which he joined the class-action suit and claimed to have suffered from “smoke inhalation, severe emotional distress, mental anguish and annoyance” in addition to the loss of his home.

“As part of the mass tort legal process, Mr. and Mrs. Bass’ names were formally added as some of the nearly 40,000 victims who suffered losses. Their family connections are irrelevant, and as non-public citizens they are entitled to respectful privacy as they pursue their legal rights along with all represented victims,” attorneys for Kenneth Bass and his wife told The New York Post.

The home in question has not been rebuilt, and Bass sold the 1.5-acre lot — that still includes a putting green, a pool, and a guest house that were not lost in the fire — for $2 million last May.

The suit blames the city’s failure to respond to the fire on the reservoirs that were depleted: “The Palisades Fire has been a traumatic event for its victims, who through no fault of their own, went from homeowners to homeless in a matter of hours.”

During a recent campaign event, Mayor Bass — who is facing a run-off challenge in November from Democratic-socialist city councilwoman Nithya Raman — was clearly avoiding the question when she was asked three times about her brother’s addition to the suit.

“We’re not talking about that!” an aide pushed back as Bass was pressed on the issue.
