{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Spencer Pratt’s sister Stephanie Pratt is now supporting her brother’s campaign for Los Angeles mayor months after claiming a vote for him was a "vote for stupidity."
"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.
She 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."

She continued, "He's just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don't be fooled."

"I'm worried about LA. I have no problem playing government but our city needs help," Stephanie wrote.

"Everyone saying I should support him no matter what. Sorry he beat me up when I was 18 & put me in the hospital. So no he doesn’t belong in the government. Run the palisades all you want not LA," Stephanie wrote on X.
She added, "Leopards never change their spots. Stay in the palisades Spencer."
