Courtesy of Spencer Pratt/InstagramSpencer Pratt is asking his TikTok followers to help him raise money after losing his home to the catastrophic wildfires raging in the greater Los Angeles area.
In a video shared via TikTok on Friday, January 10, Pratt, 41, asked his followers to watch and like a previous video shared on his account, which featured the song “What It Feels Like” by Aly & AJ.
“I’ll get up to $1,100 from TikTok if it’s one of the top 10 most liked TikToks with that song, so it’s more likely $200, but it could go up to $1,100,” he explained in the video. “So if you’re bored, please continue like this last video. It’s actually a great song and Aly & AJ are wearing Pratt Daddy Crystals — my friend Amber goes to all their concerts and gives them all the crystals, so it’s kind of an authentic promotion since they’re wearing my crystals. I also want to get that $1100.
In a subsequent video, Pratt also asked her followers to add a husband Come on Monday on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
However, Pratt’s plea for help via social media received some backlash.
“Some demonic monster just wrote on my IG and tagged me ‘Of course Spencer will milk her burnt house for every dollar she’s worth.’ yes yes that’s right Let me know every dollar I can get,” said I will post in a video addressed to the reaction shared via TikTok on Friday.
“How come you guys have no brains? You’re just the stupidest creatures alive?” he continued. “Of course I’m trying to find money to pay for my life with my family because our house and all our possessions burned down. And if I can do it on social media, which is the only money I’ve made in years, constantly showing my trip with our house on fire and all our possessions, don’t you think I’m going to keep milking it for every dollar ?”
Pratt concluded, “I’d rather have my house and no social media, let me tell you that much. I’d rather have everything in my home and delete all those stupid apps. I would prefer that. So yes, I will continue to ‘milk’ our misery on social media.”
He also advised fans how not to help him and Montag, 38, which included watching The hillsin which Pratt and Montag starred in the 2000s.
“I’d much rather you watch anything in the world, but The hills. Don’t give this show one dollar or this narrator one brain cell listening to her voice,” he said in a video shared via TikTokreferring to Lauren Conrad. “No, there are no leftovers. So, basically, I’d rather watch paint dry, tag me in (you) than stare at a wall — that would help my life more. Don’t waste your energy looking The hills thinking that helps our lives.”
Pratt and Montag have been married since 2008. The hills alums they lost their house to the Pacific Palisades wildfires that first broke out on Tuesday, January 7th. By the time their house burned, the couple had already evacuated with their three children: sons Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months.
In a video shared by Montag via TikTok on Thursday, January 9, the couple revealed the few items that left of their house after the fire, they were all collected in one plastic bag.
“The Hummingbird pot — with some nectar cooked in it,” Pratt says in the video, along with “a (rubber) snake from the backyard, a crystal from the backyard, (another) crystal from the backyard, Riker’s shovel from the backyard yard and broken pieces.
As the wildfires continue to spread through the Los Angeles area, several celebrities are taking to social media to share how they’ve been affected. “Evacuated and safe with children, dogs and cats. We are praying and grateful for the first responders,” Mandy Moore wrote in a Wednesday, Jan. 8, statement on her Instagram Story. In a follow-up post, she (…)
When the couple packed their home to evacuate, they apparently failed to take all of their belongings. In another video on social media, Montag explained that “the craziest thing about packing for a fire (is) your brain just freaks out.”
She added: “It’s so overwhelming to pack a house. I mean, I only have two pairs of jeans and two shirts. I have a lot more clothes for the kids. I ask myself, “Why didn’t I take more?” Fortunately, I grabbed everything and it’s such a blessing, and most importantly, we’re safe.
Despite their struggles, Pratt gave fans an uplifting update, thanking them for their support after wife Heidi Montag’s album, Superficial, shot up the iTunes Store charts following his pleas for help on social media.
“God. Bless. All of you. Number 15 in the iTunes Store. It’s a fucking miracle,” Pratt said via an Instagram post on Saturday, January 11. “If we bring this up first, it’s official – Heidi is a pop superstar legend.” She will go down in the history books. Apparently she’s already in my history books.
Pratt also said that Montag’s album, which is climbing the iTunes Store charts, is “probably the best thing I’ve ever dreamed of…besides still having my house and all my possessions.”
“But don’t worry, we’re on our way to being rich and famous, and I won’t forget about you when I’m rich and famous,” he continued. “I will be the most grateful rich celebrity you have ever supported in your lies. I love you all, thank you so much.”
