Lisa Rinna has starred in her own reality series and she has guested on many others, but she is no supporter of fellow reality star Spencer Pratt‘s campaign to become the next mayor of Los Angeles.

Rinna weighed in on L.A.’s fractured mayoral race as she stopped to speak with Variety on the red carpet outside the American Music Awards at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. Queen Latifah is host.

“I don’t know yet,” Rinna said when asked who she supported in the contest. She was quick to add that she was not behind Pratt, the star of MTV’s unscripted hit “The Hills” who has gained traction in the polls as he has attacked incumbent Karen Bass over the city’s handling of the Palisades fire in January 2025. Pratt and his reality TV star wife Heidi Montag lost a home in the devastating wildfires.

“Not a reality star, though,” Rinna said with conviction. “I love him [Pratt], but we’ve already done that. We’re not going to do that again,” she said, in an apparent reference to President Donald Trump, who’s national profile grew exponentially in the mid-2000s when he toplined NBC’s reality series “The Apprentice.”

When pressed as to why Pratt is garnering more industry supporters, Rinna was blunt.

“You got me, because listen, I’m a reality person. You wouldn’t want me as mayor, really. I mean, let’s just face it, I love him. I think he’s amazing. I just think we did that,” she said. Rinna briefly conflated the mayor’s race with the California’s equally bonkers gubernatorial contest. The state’s June 2 primary has galvanized public attention on the first phase of the state’s 2026 election cycle.

“Let’s have somebody that’s already been mayor — the mayor of San Jose, or whoever,” Rinna said, citing Matt Mahan, who is a candidate for governor. Rinna, who wore a stylish brown oversized suit and an extra-long, polka dot tie with an image of President John F. Kennedy, graciously acknowledged that she stood corrected.

“I like him,” Rinna said of Mahan. “I like him for governor.”

Rinna first gained fame as a star of the enduring NBC daytime soap “Days of Our Lives.” She and her husband, actor Harry Hamlin, starred in the TV Land series “Harry Loves Lisa.” She was also featured in Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” from 2014 to 2022. Rinna and Hamlin remain staples on the talk show, competition and reality series circuit.
