Los Angeles reality star attacks Chelsea Handler online
Tap title to read story
In Los Angeles, television personality Spencer Pratt has escalated a long‑running feud with comedian Chelsea Handler amid his outsider campaign for mayor. The dispute intensified after Handler posted a video on her verified Instagram account opposing Pratt’s candidacy ahead of the June 2 primary election, arguing that a straight, white male former reality star without government experience should not be considered a serious political contender and likening him to Donald Trump. Handler’s post quickly drew over 150,000 likes and support from several public figures. Pratt responded with a profanity‑filled video, using a Shane Gillis clip and alleging Handler attended a 2010 dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s residence.
