Spencer Pratt may be out of the running for mayor of Los Angeles but he’s not done fighting those in power who he claims are “corrupt.”

“Now that the campaign portion of my mission of ‘Save Los Angeles’ is coming to a close and I’m moving on to the next more interesting phase,” Pratt, 42, began his Friday, June 12, social media video message titled, “Save LA — Phase III.”

As gospel music played in the background, Pratt admitted, “I’ve spent a lot of time slaying everybody. I’ve ridiculed everyone on the roster.”

Pratt appeared to be queuing up for an apology to his opponents Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman and Mayor Karen Bass, who are both on the ballot for the November election, before filming the script completely.

“I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I’d like to take the chance to apologize to …,” Pratt said before a viral clip of UFC fighter Conor McGregor screaming, “Absolutely nobody” was inserted into his video.

The music then took a dramatic turn as well, as Pratt vowed that losing the June election will not stop him from fighting back for his fellow Angelenos.

“You think you can get rid of me that easily?” Pratt asked. “Hey morons, I didn’t get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine and nothing’s changed.”

The Hills alum was fired up as he claimed, “I’m going to be lighting you up every single day and now I don’t have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don’t have a campaign loss hamstringing me now.”

“It’s war,” Pratt declared, calling it “zero hour” for the city of Los Angeles.

He alleged that with him out of the running for mayor, “Angelenos are now stuck with two morons responsible for all their problems and they have to choose between dumb and dumber,” referring to Bass, 72, and Raman, 44.

“That’s not a choice. That’s the machine, protecting the machine,” he quipped, claiming that all the problems that “plague” L.A. “because of these corrupt communists is going to accelerate.”

Pratt warned, “The city will tumble head long into the abyss,” alleging that developers, restaurateurs, business moguls and more prominent figures in L.A. were “texting him” and saying, “They’re packing up and leaving town.”

“More of your favorite restaurants will be shuttering. That means less tax revenue. That means the city has to cut services,” Pratt threatened. “More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities. You have no idea how bad things are about to get for this city.”

Pratt further claimed, “This city is a mess and you’re about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction.”

He said his “goal hasn’t changed” and he “will stop” the alleged corruption, claiming that he has dirt on one of the mayoral candidates.

“We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that will make her resign in shame,” Pratt claimed, noting that Bass and Raman should be worried about what’s coming.

Pratt continued, “Angelenos have been struggling for years now all while corrupt politicians and fraudulent NGOs profit off the misery and fleece us for the tax dollars. Well now, we’re flipping the script.”

He told his former rivals, “I want all of you awake at night sweating,” claiming that an awakening is headed their way.

“You think your election was going to stop me? If you want to stop me …” Pratt concluded his message, before a clip of Julia Garner from Ozark was spliced in with her yelling, “You’re going to have to f***ing kill me!”

Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for Bass and Raman for comment.

Pratt’s eye-brow raising video comes after he announced earlier this year that he was running for L.A. mayor after his and wife Heidi Montag’s home in the Pacific Palisades was destroyed in the January 2025 California wildfires.

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said while revealing his campaign during the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.”

During his campaign, Pratt claimed that if he lost he would leave L.A. with Montag, 39, and their two sons. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

News broke on June 7 that Raman beat out Pratt behind incumbent Bass for the second spot in November’s mayoral election after polls closed on June 2.

Pratt broke his silence over the results on Thursday, June 11, writing via X, “Are they done counting yet?”
