Paramount Skydance employees are reportedly looking at properties in the Leiper’s Fork and Franklin areas as the Hollywood company considers moving some operations from California to Tennessee.
Spencer Pratt, an actor and television personality who ran for Los Angeles mayor earlier this year, said Thursday that his director, who lives in Nashville, has personally referred two real estate agents to Paramount employees shopping for properties in the area.
Paramount is leaving. My director lives in Nashville. He's personally referred 2 realtors to Paramount employees who are currently shopping for properties in Leiper's Fork and Franklin. Bonta is so stupid, he doesn't realize how much damage he's already done. https://t.co/KPLpKZedoY

“Paramount is leaving. My director lives in Nashville. He’s personally referred 2 realtors to Paramount employees who are currently shopping for properties in Leiper’s Fork and Franklin,” he wrote on X.
Pratt’s comments come one day after German-owned Politico reported that Paramount Skydance is actively searching for roughly 400,000 square feet of office space in Nashville as the company weighs moving at least some operations out of Los Angeles.
According to the report, Paramount could occupy the space within two to three years and has contacted at least two developers about constructing new offices.
Representatives of the company have also reportedly been shown a vacant, multi-acre property outside downtown Nashville where new offices could potentially be built. No existing Nashville office building reportedly meets Paramount’s space and timeline requirements, Politico reported.
Paramount’s reported Nashville search comes amid a legal battle over its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. California Attorney General Rob Bonta is leading a coalition of states challenging the transaction.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has previously welcomed the possibility of Paramount expanding to the state, writing in July that “Tennessee is a place where innovation & creativity thrive” and that the state would welcome Paramount.
Pratt, who has been outspoken about Paramount potentially leaving California, argued in a lengthy post that the company’s relocation could trigger additional departures from Hollywood.
“When Paramount leaves, all they need is one good quarter, and the floodgates will open,” Pratt wrote. “Every studio will leave.”
