Spencer Pratt has hit back at comedian Chelsea Handler after she reignited their decades-long feud by posting a profanity-laced video comparing him to Donald Trump.
In a clip posted to social media on Friday, Handler took aim at Pratt’s political ambitions and his reality-TV background as she poured a drink over ice.

“If you’re seeing this video, this is a reminder that a straight, white male former reality star that has no previous experience in government should not be a legitimate political candidate. Have we learned anything yet?
”The bar is on the f*ing floor, people, and I need you to jump over it.”

Pratt, who has recently been gaining momentum in the race to unseat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ahead of the June 2 primary, fired back with a sharp counterattack.
He responded by sharing a clip of comedian Shane Gillis roasting Handler, which included the damaging allegation: “Chelsea Handler went to dinner at Jeffrey Epstein‘s house in 2010.”

Pratt further amplified the moment by referencing the supposed guest list, claiming the dinner was small and included Prince Andrew and Woody Allen.
His and Handler’s tension goes way back to the late 2000s when she constantly trashed him and his wife on her show Chelsea Lately.
The clash comes amid heightened tension following the May 10 Netflix Is A Joke festival finale at the Kia Forum, where the roast of Kevin Hart was overshadowed by an onstage feud involving Gillis and Handler, adding fuel to the ongoing comedy-world backlash now spilling into politics.
Pratt’s political profile has surged in recent weeks as he positions himself as an outsider candidate centered on anger over city leadership and disaster response.
After losing his Pacific Palisades home in last year’s Palisades Fire, which destroyed more than 18,000 structures across the area, he has repeatedly criticized Bass for negligence.

When a TMZ report claimed he was now staying at the Hotel Bel-Air instead of an Airstream trailer, Pratt pushed back on X, writing: “Hey guys, why don’t they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place?
“Karen Bass let my home burn down. Also 6,000 of my neighbors.”
