Star of ‘The Hills’ Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag filed a lawsuit against California and the City of Los Angeles over the Pacific Palisades fire, leading to a dark confrontation with the press office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The lawsuit filed in July includes more than 20 other property owners who lost their homes during the Palisades Fire that started on January 7, 2025, and was only contained on January 31 after burning through more than 23,448 acres, according to CBS and Los Angeles Fire Department.
The complaint alleges that Los Angeles municipal water department are to blame for the issues in actually getting water to the burn zone.

Gavin Newsom’s Press Office Goes Off The Rails?
Newsom’s press office issued a statement on X that appears to be against Pratt and his wife, calling them “C-list reality TV stars” and calling out “anonymous Twitter accounts” who the Governor and his office clearly think are spreading “misinformation” about the situation, whereas the lawsuit came as a result of no one receiving answers as to why this disaster was not mitigated — particularly given California’s ongoing risk for wildfires.
Calling a concerned resident who lost his home to the Palisades Fire ‘C-list’ for demanding answers? That’s not leadership. That’s shameful. Newsom, you let the state park burn down and it burned down my home, my parents’ home and my whole community. I’ll continue to speak up for… pic.twitter.com/5A0xIlDBmp

“Calling a concerned resident who lost his home to the Palisades Fire ‘C-list’ for demanding answers? That’s not leadership. That’s shameful,” Pratt replied to Newsom and his press office. “Newsom, you let the state park burn down and it burned down my home, my parents’ home and my whole community. I’ll continue to speak up for my home town and I’ll see you in court.”
Newsom’s Leadership Called Into Question
More than 100 people replied to Pratt’s post (at the time of writing) while hundreds more liked it, and more than 700 “liked it,” while Newsom’s office decided to double-down on their stance. (RELATED: Newsom Appears To Stealth Launch Campaign For Presidency)
“Losing your home is heartbreaking. No one should have to go through that, and we’re fully committed to supporting you and your community in recovering. Period,” his office replied. “But that pain doesn’t give you license to mislead your neighbors with completely fabricated conspiracy theories. You’ve been spreading false information that’s scaring people and actively hurting the very community you claim to speak for. And now — thanks to your videos — a proposal to help fire victims rebuild is dead. Well done.”

The office then shared a link to an LA Times article that appeared to back-up the Governor’s stance — clearly he doesn’t realize that no one in LA believes anything written by the LA Times, and this is not a newspaper of note to anyone who lives and works within Southern California.
Newsom Destroyed In The Comments
People who spoke to Million Voices on strict condition of anonymity claimed that this type of behavior is exactly what everyone should expect of Newsom and his leadership. Along with ignoring the rights of his citizens, he and his team are often quick to call out anyone who disagrees with them as “spreading misinformation.” (RELATED: Newsom Attacks Republicans On Violent Crime — Data Tell Different Story)
“Quit the gaslighting,” replied one user to Newsom’s press office latest post. You guys are an utter joke. What a ridiculous post. ‘And now — thank to your videos — a proposal to help fire victims rebuild is dead. Well done,'” replied another. “So – just to clarify, you’re killing a proposal to help fire victims because of Spencer’s posts and videos? How pathetic. How amateur. How weak.”
Newsom’s press office is paid for by taxpayer dollars as part of the state budget.
Million Voices: Christians No Longer Have To Be Silent In Politics
A recent ruling by the IRS now allows Churches to endorse political candidates to their congregation. Bringing a Biblical Worldview back to the American cultural norm is definitely a large part of our purpose during our time on Earth.
If every Christian in America voted for the candidates supporting common sense, often Christian values, we would win every election.
Your Sunday service doesn’t have to be political, but your day-to-day life outside of His four walls will always be dictated — in large part — by your elected officials. Ignorance of politics is like handing over control of your life to the greediest, most power-hungry serpent in the room. When we Use Our Voice, we bring a more Biblical worldview to our nation.
