Spencer Pratt's life has changed thanks to TikTok after the LA wildfires ruined his home. The reality star who has been championing his wife Heidi Montag's recent return to the music industry has been documenting his journey on social media after being affected by the fires. The reality couple who first found fame on MTV's The Hills fled their home with their children Gunner, six, and Ryker, two and had to leave their possessions behind.
While they didn't create one, two of their friends on TikTok launched a GoFundMe for the couple, which sparked outrage online with many acknowledging that there were people less fortunate who had been affected by the fires. Now, Spencer has revealed that his life has changed thanks to TikTok, which was recently banned in the States – before being reintroduced just hours later.
In new interview, Spencer, 41, said: "I made, like, $4,000 on TikTok this week, but on TikTok Live, where people can just give to me direct, I think maybe $20,000. So that's phenomenal, and life-changing." He added: "That's the power of individual supports, people just backing you and getting behind you – and that's the most powerful when you don't have to rely on ads or AI and algorithms when just actual human beings just want to give. It's unbelievable and incredible.".
Speaking to Variety, Spencer went on to add that he had been using the platform to promote Heidi's 2010 album, Superficial, but had no idea how much money the record has made thanks to the platform. He later clarified that people had informed him to not expect any money from it.
