Spencer Pratt Accuses CBS of Turning Over Interview to Karen Bass' PR Team for 'Comical' Edit
TheWrap • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Spencer Pratt accused CBS of handing over his hour-long interview to Karen Bass’ PR team to be edited into a brief, comical hit piece, focusing on clips from his reality TV past rather than substantive issues like crime and housing affordability.
- Pratt claims CBS’s editing was a retaliatory move after the network fact-checked Bass’s debate statements about the Palisades fire, suggesting political pressure influenced the coverage.
- Pratt called on CBS to release the full, unedited interview to provide voters with a complete view of his platform, criticizing the network for engaging in “skeezy political tricks.”
- CBS released the full hour-long interview online about four hours after Pratt’s public demand, but neither CBS nor Bass’s team responded to requests for comment.
- Pratt, currently living in an Airstream trailer on his fire-damaged property, is running for mayor and insists his campaign is being unfairly targeted by media tactics.
