Kimmel's sister–in–law Carly Kimmel, 49, was accused of launching a complaint about Pratt–themed cookies at Vicente Foods, a staple grocery store in Brentwood, a ritzy neighborhood sandwiched between Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. The store baker Danielle Romano previously told the Daily Mail she had made the cookies to show support for Pratt's candidacy, as she related to his campaign criticizing the response to the Palisades fire. 'I lost everything in the fires, so, I sold the cookies to show my appreciation for what he is doing,' Romano said. Daily Mail snapped exclusive photos of Pratt's mom Janet among the customers who picked up cookies at the LA grocer on Friday, buying a box of two dozen for a total of $150. A limited number of 700 cookies sold out on Friday as people lined up to support Pratt, a registered Republican, in the Democratic enclave. Each cookie cost $6.50. Romano said she supported Pratt because of how he 'stepped up for the community when we needed him.' 'At first the store was supportive of me selling the cookies,' she said. 'But I was just told we had to take them down after a complaint... we were told to make them not visible anymore.'

She is married to Jimmy Kimmel's brother Jonathan Kimmel, who has worked on his show for years. Pratt accused Carly of 'trying to stop somebody from support their family' and urged the Kimmels to 'go support a fire victim that lost everything.' 'Maybe make amends and buy some of these cookies,' Pratt told the California Post. 'I think that would be a good apology.' 'I couldn’t be happier to help sell cookies now while also saving the city,' Pratt added.  He added: 'We're doing a lot of things, but I'll always have time to support people that are trying to build back from nothing and that are being attacked by people that obviously don't understand that my message is common sense.' Pratt cracked that 'the people that are buying the cookies whose brains are functioning,' as he railed against LA's problems with rampant homelessness and open air drug use. 'I hear you can just eat them all day long and you don't even gain weight,' he told the outlet. 'I hear they're actually healthy cookies, they're delicious.'  The store baker Danielle Romano previously explained that she baked the cookies as a sign of support for Pratt, as she related to how his lost his home in last year's LA wildfires Carly Kimmel, the sister-in-law of Jimmy Kimmel, allegedly targeted the small grocery store's bakery because it sold cookies supporting mayoral hopeful Spencer Pratt Janet Pratt was among the customers who lined up to pick up cookies at the LA grocer on Friday Allegations that Carly Kimmel had berated the grocery store picked up steam on social media and caused the 49-year-old to make her Instagram account private, seemingly to avoid backlash.

'I encourage everyone to go buy something from the bakery to show your support for this small business owner!' one user posted. Another added: 'Vicente Foods has been my go to store for 40 years.

If neither candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote next month, the mayoral election will be decided in a run–off on November 3. Pratt's run for office picked up steam as he targeted incumbent LA mayor Karen Bass for how she managed the Palisades Fire last year. He and his wife Heidi Montag were among those who lost their home in the blazes, which decimated more than 6,800 structures across Southern California.   Pratt has recurrently highlighted the high levels of drug use and rampant homelessness in LA during his campaign, promising a three–week 'grace period' to warn criminals, drug users and homeless people to leave the west coast city.  Romano said she supported Pratt because of how he 'stepped up for the community when we needed him.'
