India, May 6 -- On Wednesday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass became the topic of a major social media storm after she seemed to suggest that 'The Hills' actor Spencer Pratt, her opponent in the run for the Los Angeles Mayor, has "exploited" the victims of the 2024 Palisades fire.

Spencer Pratt's house was destroyed in the Palisades fire earlier this year and he has made the fire a major issue in his charge against Karen Bass coming election. Appearing on MSNOW with Katie Phang, Bass, she said: "Honestly, before this, I had never even heard of Spencer Pratt,"

"But the thing I am concerned about is that I feel like he's exploiting the grief of people in the Palisades," she continued. "And I think that's reprehensible."
