Spencer Pratt Blasts George Clooney Over $149,000 Venice Jewelry and 'Kakistocracy' Remarks

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 5

Summary

  • Pratt used X on Friday to accuse Clooney of hypocrisy, saying the actor's estimated $500 million wealth undercut his public criticism of U.S. leaders.
  • A Page Six report Pratt shared focused on Amal Clooney's Venice Film Festival look, including $149,000 Cartier earrings and a $225,000 diamond bracelet for a four-hour event.
  • Clooney's comments in Venice had targeted the political climate, saying the U.S. may be a "kakistocracy" run by the least qualified people and expressing hope for checks in November and a return to normalcy in 2028.
  • The clash widened when a White House spokesperson dismissed Clooney's criticism with a brief response: "Nobody cares."
