- Gayle King used the term during a Jan. 26 CBS Mornings segment while discussing Pratt’s past behavior on The Hills.
- Speaking on Jan. 28 on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, Pratt said he was surprised but unbothered, noting he has been called many names but not that one.
- Pratt recounted a 30-minute pre-interview with King and suggested the on-air comment felt like a possible bait-and-switch.
- On the show, he acknowledged his villain persona and joked he could have been an even bigger “douche canoe.”
- The moment comes as he promotes his memoir The Guy You Loved to Hate; People reports he is running for Los Angeles mayor and says the book describes losing his home in the January 2025 Pacific Palisades fire, which that outlet reports helped motivate the bid.
