Kristin Cavallari Lands Eight-Figure Podcast Deal Amid Ex-Husband's Legal Troubles
Kristin Cavallari Inks Jaw-Dropping Eight-Figure Deal for Podcast, Just Weeks After Ex-Husband Jay Cutler's DUI Arrest
In a shocking turn of events, reality TV star Kristin Cavallari has landed an eight-figure deal to continue her hit podcast "Let's Be Honest" with Dear Media. The news comes just weeks after her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, was released from jail on a DUI charge.
According to sources close to the deal, Cavallari's new multi-year agreement is worth a staggering eight figures, making her one of the highest-earning podcasters at Dear Media. Other top creators at the company include reality stars Scheana Shay and Khloe Kardashian, influencers Arielle Lorre and Amanda Hirsch, actress Lisa Rinna, and even Cavallari's former Hills co-star Whitney Port.
Cavallari launched "Let's Be Honest" in 2023 as a spin-off of her rewatch podcast "Back to the Beach," which quickly became one of the most talked-about pop culture podcasts in the US. The podcast has been a massive success, thanks in part to millennial nostalgia and Cavallari's willingness to share intimate details about her personal life.
In fact, Cavallari's podcast is so popular that she took it on tour earlier this year, which was documented in her own E! reality series "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour." The show was produced by Alex Baskin's 32 Flavors and gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at Cavallari's life on the road.
But Cavallari isn't just about her podcast. She's also been keeping busy with other projects, including rewatching old episodes of "The Hills" on her podcast and executive producing a Roku TV special that will reunite her with former Laguna Beach co-stars, including frenemy Lauren Conrad.
And if you thought things couldn't get any juicier, they just did. Cavallari's ex-husband Jay Cutler was arrested in October 2024 for allegedly rear-ending another vehicle while driving under the influence. At the time of the incident, cops said Cutler had bloodshot eyes, was slurring his words, and smelled of alcohol.
But here's the kicker: according to an arrest affidavit, Cutler offered the other driver $2,000 to not call the police and let him drive away. The charge against Cutler came from an incident in October 2024, when he was arrested for allegedly rear-ending another vehicle in Franklin, Tennessee.
Cutler pleaded guilty to driving under the influence as part of a deal that saw authorities drop the charges over possession of a firearm. He was also told to pay a $350 fine and will be on unsupervised probation for one year.
The drama between Cavallari and Cutler has been playing out in public for months, with both stars exchanging shots at each other on social media. Just last month, Cutler hit back at Cavallari's comments about their divorce, saying she "never got a penny" from the split.
But Cutler fired back, claiming that there was "not a judge in the state of Tennessee" who would have allowed him to keep every single dollar after their divorce. He also hinted that Cavallari received a significant payout from their split, but didn't reveal exactly how much she got.
The drama between these two is just getting started. With Cavallari's new podcast deal and Cutler's DUI arrest, it's clear that the drama will only continue to unfold in the coming months. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy celebrity feud!
