Residents and business proprietors in Los Angeles are expressing their anger over accusations that Carly Kimmel, the sister-in-law of late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel, harassed a local grocer for offering cookies that supported Spencer Pratt.
In a viral post on social media, Carly Kimmel was implicated in criticizing the Spencer Pratt-themed treats available at Vicente Foods, a grocery store with a 78-year history located in Brentwood.
Kitson, a well-known fashion and lifestyle boutique in LA with celebrity clients such as Paris Hilton, Kate Beckinsale, Angelina Jolie, and Janet Jackson, stated it had been in contact with a credible source who confirmed Carly’s involvement in the complaint.
The boutique shared images of the cookies along with a snapshot from Carly’s Instagram account.
“It seems targeting small businesses is a family trait,” the post declared, highlighting that recent legal battles involving bakeries and freedom of speech ended in favor of the bakeries at the Supreme Court. “Visit Carly’s Instagram and let her know your thoughts.”
Carly is the wife of the late-night host’s brother, Jonathan, who worked on Jimmy Kimmel’s show for years.
An employee at the store referred The California Post to a manager at the store who was unavailable at the time.
Carly and Kitson did not immediately return a request for comment.
Vicente Foods, a family-owned grocery store that has been open since 1948, says it specializes in “the finest meats, the freshest produce and fair prices throughout.”
Commenters on social media erupted at the allegations.
“Imagine crashing out over cookies,” one wrote.
“What is wrong with the Kimmels??” another added.
Many chimed in with praise for the grocer.
“I encourage everyone to go buy something from the bakery to show your support for this small business owner!” one commenter said..
“Vicente Foods has been my go to store for 40 years. I even bought those awesome cookies weeks ago when they first came out,” another said.
Pratt has seen his campaign surge in recent weeks as he takes on incumbent Karen Bass and socialist-linked Councilwoman Nithya Raman.
