Los Angeles‑born former reality‑TV personality Spencer Pratt took to X on Friday to denounce George Clooney and his wife Amal after the couple attended the Venice Film Festival in high‑end designer clothing and jewelry.
Pratt, who recently entered the political arena with a mayoral bid in Los Angeles, wrote, “$500 M net worth George Clooney could’ve permanently housed eight homeless people for the rest of their lives with the money he spent on a single‑use dress for his wife at a four‑hour event.” He added, “I will never tolerate a woke scold lecture from these people. Just be an ostentatious celebrity and own it.”
Details of the Venice appearance
The Page Six report Pratt shared noted that Amal Clooney wore a custom Haider Ackermann look for Tom Ford, complemented by Cartier earrings valued at $149,000 and a Cartier diamond bracelet priced at $225,000. The couple has been spotted several times in Venice this week, including at the opening night ceremony where Clooney accepted the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.
During his acceptance speech, Clooney told the audience, “We’re living through a moment in time where people in charge, the people with the most money, are telling us to fear one another… Stories are always dangerous to people who peddle in fear. Movies don’t stop wars or lower inflation, but they remind us that a stranger is never a stranger.” He also warned that the United States appears to be suffering from a “kakistocracy,” a term meaning rule by the least qualified, and expressed optimism that upcoming elections would provide a check on the current direction.
Response from the White House
When asked for comment on Clooney’s remarks about the current administration, a White House spokesperson replied, “Nobody cares.” Fox News Digital has reached out to Clooney for comment on Pratt’s criticism but has not yet received a response.
Pratt’s outspoken criticism reflects a broader cultural debate over celebrity spending, perceived elitism, and the role of public figures in political discourse. While the Venice Film Festival remains a celebrated showcase for cinema, the clash between a reality‑TV personality turned political hopeful and a Hollywood legend underscores the ongoing tension between entertainment and political commentary.
