Kristin Cavallari Speaks Out On Ex-Husband Jay Cutler’s DUI Arrest

In a recent episode of her podcast Let’s Be Honest, Kristin Cavallari spoke publicly for the first time since her ex-husband, Jay Cutler was arrested in Tennessee on charges of DUI and firearm possession.

Cavallari, 37, acknowledged that the episode was recorded before the “very public incident” and offered a brief statement, expressing her hopes that Cutler gets the help he needs.

Jay Cutler’s Arrest Details

Cutler was detained following a minor vehicle accident in Franklin, Tennessee. Cutler was a former NFL quarterback who was most remembered for his tenure with the Chicago Bears.

His eyes were bloodshot, his speech was slurred, and he had a noticeable alcohol stench, according to the local police.

In his car, officers discovered two firearms during the inquiry. Cutler was then charged with failure to exercise due care, carrying a handgun while intoxicated, and driving under the influence.

After allegedly rear-ending another vehicle, Cutler tried to reach a private settlement with the driver, purportedly offering $2,000 to avoid the police getting involved. After police stepped in, Franklin resident Cutler was freed later that day on a $5,000 bond.

In recent podcast episodes, Cavallari has discussed the emotional toll of her marriage, stating that the stress affected her health and caused her weight to significantly decline.

“I was so unhappy and so stressed out,” she shared, adding, “I was skin and bones. I think I look so much better now. And you guys, that was just stress. That was being in a really unhappy marriage, quite honestly. I mean, literally. I was so unhappy.”

Despite their split, she describes their current relationship as “the best place that we’ve been in,” noting it took over four years to reach this level of amicability.

Reflecting on their breakup, Cavallari admitted that although she initiated the separation, it wasn’t an easy decision. “Even though I’m the one that walked away, it was not what I wanted…my heart was broken for years in my marriage,” she said. She encourages others to hold hope for healing, mentioning that if she and Cutler could find common ground, “anyone can get there.”
