Sometimes it’s those closest to us who are hardest to convince … and that appeared to be the case for Spencer Pratt when he launched his long-shot bid to unseat incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
But after months of his sister, Stephanie Pratt, disparaging his bid and his supporters, she’s finally come around to understand and even endorse his commonsense platform.
Fox News was among the outlets to report on her change of heart:
“I admit I was the first person to tell people that they were idiots if they voted for my brother,” Stephanie Pratt told Vanity Fair in an email related to a profile on him.
ADVERTISEMENTShe added, “Wow, was I wrong. He has spent every day since the fires finding the facts, the mistakes, the negligence, and uncovering the truth that they never wanted us to know.”
On social media, many of the former reality TV star’s supporters took a better-late-than-never approach to his sister’s words of support:
She agrees with him

Here’s what Page Six added:
A rep for Spencer did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Wednesday.
Stephanie, 40, previously slammed her brother’s aggressive bid to snatch the high-profile office in the upcoming election on June 2.
“Spencer has done great work for the palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” Stephanie wrote of the 42-year-old mayoral hopeful, back in February.
ADVERTISEMENT“He’s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don’t be fooled,” she continued in the since-deleted tweets, noting that “in an ideal world the palisades would have their own mayor and police department.”
Here’s some additional context regarding the complicated sibling relationship:
