Rinna, 62, said at the American Music Awards she would not vote for Pratt for Los Angeles mayor, arguing voters should not put another reality TV star into politics.
Her remarks quickly drew online backlash, with critics casting her as out of touch and saying Los Angeles residents should reject the status quo after the city's recent crises.
Pratt announced his mayoral run on Jan. 7 after losing his home in the 2025 Palisades wildfire, framing the campaign as a challenge to local leadership.
That fire killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes, fueling Pratt's attacks on Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass and a lawsuit blaming city water failures for property losses.
