Kristin Cavallari Reveals Chilling Childhood Trauma and Estrangement from Father

Kristin Cavallari Spills Tea on Her Toxic Childhood and Her Husband's $126 Million Fortune

Get ready for some juicy gossip, folks! Reality TV star Kristin Cavallari is spilling all about her complicated childhood, her marriage to ex-NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, and the drama that followed their divorce.

On the latest episode of her podcast "Let's Be Honest," Kristin dished out the deets on how her father Dennis's behavior affected her as a child. The 38-year-old Hills star revealed that she often lived in fear of her dad when she was younger, feeling like she had to tiptoe around him just to avoid getting into trouble.

"I was always so scared of my dad," Kristin confessed. "I mean, God, I never wanted to be around my dad if I'm being completely honest. Like, he just always made me uncomfortable."

But what's even more shocking is that Kristin's father actually encouraged her to be open and honest with him, despite his own behavior making it impossible for her to do so.

"I was terrified of getting in trouble for being honest," she explained. "I just never really had the opportunity with my dad because I was so scared s*less of my dad."

Kristin's mom, Judith, on the other hand, was a completely different story. She trusted Kristin and encouraged her to be her authentic self.

"I probably would have tried that with my mom," Kristin said. "But I never really had the opportunity with my dad because I was so scared s*less of my dad."

So, how did this affect Kristin's relationships as an adult? Well, it turns out she's a bit of a control freak when it comes to her own kids.

"I try to make my kids feel comfortable being open and honest with me," Kristin said. "I want them to know that they can always come to me if something is bothering them."

But don't get too excited just yet – Kristin's not perfect, folks! She revealed on her podcast that she had a bit of a wild streak when she was growing up in Laguna Beach, California.

"I was always getting into trouble," Kristin confessed. "I used to drink, shoplift, and even got in trouble with the law a few times."

In fact, Kristin shared a particularly embarrassing story about how her teacher took her diary from school and read it when she wrote the word "f*" in it.

"I was so mortified," Kristin said. "But that's not all – I also used to fake illness, take trains without adult supervision, drink booze at school, and even pierced my bellybutton with a safety pin."

Wow, talk about a rebellious streak!

Now, let's get to the juicy stuff – Kristin's marriage to Jay Cutler. The two were married from 2013 until they filed for divorce in 2020, but things got ugly when Kristin claimed that she didn't receive any money from their divorce.

Jay, on the other hand, had a different story to tell. On his podcast "Take It Outside," he claimed that Kristin's company Uncommon James was a marital asset because it was funded during their marriage.

"Let's think about this logically," Jay said. "Married for seven years or so, three kids. You can go and see how much I made in the NFL. It's online. You can see the contract from year to year and the total amount at the end of 12 years."

Jay refused to reveal the exact figures, but he assured listeners that it was "definitely not zero" and that Kristin comfortably lived off of it without a doubt.

But what really caught our attention is Jay's recent hunting trip in South Africa. The ex-NFL quarterback posed with a Sable Antelope he shot dead while out on the hunt, sparking outrage from his followers online.

"Kicked off the Africa hunt with a beauty," Jay captioned the photo. "Sable down."

The comments were not kind to Jay, with many of his followers calling him out for killing a wild animal in a place it's rarely hunted and for bragging about it on social media.
