‘This City Has Collapsed’: ‘Entourage’ Creator Endorses Spencer Pratt For Mayor
The creator of the popular HBO drama series “Entourage” says he supports Spencer Pratt for mayor of Los Angeles because it makes logical sense.
Doug Ellin said he was radicalized after having his Beverly Hills home burglarized by masked intruders, as he shared on Instagram last week. The 58-year-old screenwriter and director mentioned that five years ago he didn’t even lock his door, but now says he has 15 cameras, two German Shepherds, and guns. He said “two animals” invaded his house.
“I know they were animals because they invaded my house. I know I don’t care what their excuses are, like a lot of you f*cking care. I know invaders of homes should get 20 years,” Ellin said in the video, which was shared across multiple social media platforms.
He continued, “Everyone in my neighborhood has got the same problem: they’re f*cking all putting cameras and high-end security guards because we’re all getting broken into. It’s not made up, it’s not false, and this city has collapsed in the last five years. There is no f*cking denying it unless you have an agenda, and I don’t know what that is.”

The “Entourage” creator went on to shoot down some of the criticisms that have been voiced against Pratt, a former reality star with no political experience, running for mayor.
“But, you say, ‘Oh, Spencer Pratt has no experience!’ … What experience did Karen Bass have? …We want to fix this place because we don’t want to be forced out. I’m one of the people who made this city look great! I did it for years. I glorified it. I meet people all the time that moved here because of the show that I f*cking created, and they hate it here now. HATE!”
Ellin’s video is suspected to be a response to a recently published Los Angeles Times article titled, “L.A. is safer than it’s been in decades, but crime is an issue dominating the mayor’s race.” He addressed the Instagram rant to “LA Times gaslighters.”
Pratt also shared the video last week to social media. The former “Hills” star is polling second behind Bass ahead of the June 2 primary. While Pratt’s odds of winning have increased dramatically in recent months, he still faces an uphill battle in the Democrat stronghold. The last time a Republican won a mayoral race in Los Angeles was in 1997.
