TMZ and Deadline claimed that The Hills alum had signed up for an unscripted series to document his campaign for mayor.
Pratt announced he was running for the position in January, one year after his Pacific Palisades home burned down in the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
However, a spokesperson for Pratt denied the allegations in a statement to The Wrap on Thursday.
'This is inaccurate. There is no series in production and cameras have not been following the campaign.'
The spokesperson further stated that Pratt has not signed any contract to film a reality show that follows his run for LA mayor. 'He does not have any signed contract. No contract exists related to this because it isn't true.'
Pratt also responded to a report that he has been living in a Bel-Air hotel amid his campaign after previously claiming he had been residing inside a trailer after his home burned down last year.
Pratt has been surging in the polls since his debate against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman
Pratt offered his response on X by penning, 'Hey guys, why don't they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place? Karen Bass let my home burn down. Also 6,000 of my neighbors. NBD.'
The former reality star also told TMZ that he has been living at the hotel for safety reasons after receiving death threats amid his bid for mayor.
Earlier this month, Pratt took part in a debate alongside Bass and Raman which resulted in his chances of winning surging afterwards.
And he has also received support from his close friends and other celebrities, including reality star Kristin Cavallari, music producer David Foster, comedian Heather McDonald, and Paris Hilton.
