Former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' cast member Lisa Rinna said she does not support the idea of another reality television personality moving into a major political leadership role, specifically commenting on former reality TV star Spencer Pratt’s possible candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles.

Speaking at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas, Rinna told Variety that while she personally likes Pratt, she believes voters should avoid repeating what she sees as a failed experiment of electing celebrities with reality TV backgrounds into political office.Rinna indirectly referenced President Donald Trump, who gained national fame as host of NBC’s 'The Apprentice' before entering politics.She said, “We’ve already done that.We’re not going to do that again,” suggesting that reality television fame alone should not qualify someone for public office.

Although she praised Pratt personally and acknowledged that he appears to have strong support behind him, she argued that Los Angeles would be better served by a candidate with prior government experience.

During the interview, Rinna emphasized that even she would not consider herself suitable for public office simply because of her entertainment background.

She joked that people would not want her as mayor and added that the city should look toward experienced public officials, mentioning the possibility of someone who has already served as mayor elsewhere.

The comments drew attention because they combined celebrity culture, local politics, and criticism of the broader trend of entertainers entering government roles.

The discussion also highlighted continuing public debate over celebrity influence in American politics and whether media popularity translates into effective political leadership.
