Reality TV alum Spencer Pratt has been running a mayoral campaign in Los Angeles, and he took to the cover of Us Weekly to speak more about his campaign and distance himself from the persona he cultivated on “The Hills.”

“I’m not trying to convert anybody who’s caught up in believing reality TV is real,” he said in the new interview. “My friends involved in the process knew the personality I created on ‘The Hills’ was strategic [and that I was] in cahoots with the producers. At times, [things] obviously got more emotional and exaggerated, because even fake reality TV feels real sometimes, but it was always strategic.”
