Kristin Cavallari says she was the victim of a break-in with her family while on vacation.
The “Hills” star said on the Dec. 17 episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast that the incident happened during a 2020 spring break family trip to the Bahamas when they ended up staying on the island for a month because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cavallari was there with her then-husband Jay Cutler and their three kids, Camden, 12, and Jaxon, 10, and daughter Saylor, 9.
The last week they were there, they moved from a condo to a house and Cavallari kept her jewelry laid out in a closet. The HVAC unit went on the fritz, so workers were summoned in to repair it.
“That night, I had Camden in the bed with me. Cam and I were sleeping,” she said, noting they had gone to bed early and she wasn’t aware where everyone else was.
“I woke up to my bedroom door opening, and it woke me up because of the light from the kitchen. And I woke up to a man crawling on my bedroom floor. And I was so out of it because obviously I had just woken up,” she said. “And I go, ‘What the f— are you doing?’ I said it like that. And this man stands up and runs out the door, and, you guys, he had a ski mask on, full black arms, black pants, the full thing, right? And I went ‘oh, f—.’”
She had no idea who the person was and she managed to keep her cool.
“Because Camden was in the bed with me, I didn’t yell. I didn’t scream,” she said. “You think in those moments that that’s what you would do, but your instincts just kick in. I honestly felt like I was in ‘Mission: Impossible.’”
