During the latest episode of her “Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari” podcast, the reality television star and business owner opened up about “one of the scariest things that I went through.”

According to Cavallari, the incident occurred while she was on a family vacation with her then-husband and their three children in the Bahamas in 2020.
Cavallari and her family had been staying in a condo in a gated community before transferring to a house for the last week of the trip.
In the hours before the incident occurred, Cavallari explained that the house’s HVAC unit broke and workers were called in to fix it.
“That night I had (my son) Cam in the bed with me. Cam and I were sleeping,” she recalled. “And I woke up to a man crawling on my bedroom floor.”
“I was so out of it because obviously I had just woken up,” she said. “And I go, ‘What the (expletive) are you doing?’ And this man stands up, runs out the door, and, you guys, he had a ski mask on, full black arms, black pants, the full thing. And I went ‘oh, (expletive).’”
Despite the chaos, Cavallari said she never yelled and thankfully her children stayed asleep during the whole ordeal.
“Because Cam was in the bed with me, I didn’t yell. I didn’t scream. You think in those moments that that’s what you’d do, but your instincts just kick in. I honestly felt like I was in ‘Mission: Impossible.’”
Cavallari woke up her then-husband former NFL player Jay Cutler to let him know what happened.
“Once I woke Jay up, then I got really nervous,” she admitted. “Then I start (to get) like, really scared. I started shaking, and I was able to process then what just happened. But until that point, I was not scared. I was really calm. You just are running off of instinct.”
To this day, Cavallari said her kids, ages 12, 10 and 9, are still unaware of what took place.
“That’s just one that I think would really scare them,” she said. “I will not tell them, probably, until they’re adults, because I just think some things kids do not need to know. And scary stuff like that, I will take that one.”
In the end, Cavallari said the person took off with “all of the cash that we had in a backpack. We ended up getting it back. We found out who it was. It was the HVAC guy.”
