Kristin Cavallari revealed that she cut off her father, Dennis Cavallari, two years ago after he “crossed the line” with her three kids.
“I cut my dad out of my life about two years ago, which has honestly been the best thing I’ve ever done,” she revealed on her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast Tuesday.
“I actually didn’t even realize that my dad was a narcissist until I was an adult.”
The “Laguna Beach” alum, 36, said she never wanted to be around her father when she was younger because he would make her feel like she “wasn’t good enough.”
“But then the flip side of that is, sometimes he would put me on this pedestal and talk me up,” she added. “Now as an adult looking back, I’m like, ‘Oh, it was when it benefitted you and made you look good.’”
Kristin — who shares kids Camden, 11, Jaxon, 9, and Saylor, 8, with ex-husband Jay Cutler — said she finally cut Dennis out of her life for good over something he did to his grandchildren.
“How I got my dad out of my life was something happened with my kids and it crossed the line. And I was like, ‘You know what? I’m f–king done.’ And he blamed me for it like, threw everything back in my face,” she shared.
“I was always like, ‘I can take it … I can take the abuse.’ I have my whole life. But it’s like when you start now messing with my kids, I’m not doing it.”
Fans quickly took to the comments section, praising the former “Hills” star for being very relatable about her family issues.
“Let’s normalize leaving toxic family members 🥰,” wrote one user.

“Same but with my mom. Stopped the generational trauma. ❤️,” added another.
“I cut my mom out 3 years ago. So freeing! Proud of you 🥰,” commented another supporter.
“Proud of you. Always a hard decision but you have to do what’s best for you and your children,” said a fourth person.
Kristin and Dennis have had a rocky relationship over the years.
The former reality star got candid about how she grew apart from her dad after her brother, Michael Cavallari, died of hypothermia in 2015 after he crashed his car during frigid temperatures while passing through a rocky and rural part of southern Utah.
“My dad and my brother were close, and, because of that, I think our relationship is very surface. It puts a little bit of a void between us,” she said in a confessional on a February 2020 episode of “Very Cavallari.”
Dennis and Kristin’s mom, Judith Eifrig, divorced when she was young. The Cavallari Group founder went on to marry Nicole King in 2003, however, their marriage was plagued with rumors of infidelity.
King filed for divorce in July 2013 after a woman named Tracy Sill claimed she had a five-year-long affair with Dennis.
