Kristin Cavallari shared a disturbing story on her podcast about a stalker who slashed her tires in an attempt to get her attention. The man, identified as David Berkowitz, started coming to her gym after learning its location from an interview she did. Despite living 45 minutes away, Berkowitz would go to the gym to try to get close to Cavallari, who was married to Jay Cutler and living in Chicago at the time. Her trainer alerted her to the man asking questions about her and wanting to pay her to go to a party.
Cavallari recounted seeing Berkowitz wandering around in a suit and trying to avoid him by hiding in the bathroom, but still encountering him at the gym entrance. When she left, she saw Berkowitz getting into the car beside hers and following her to a stoplight. He signaled for her to roll down her window and told her she had a flat tire, which she found suspicious since her car itself hadn’t indicated a flat. After pulling into a parking lot, he continued to circle the area, prompting her to call her ex-husband, who contacted a private investigator. Cavallari claimed Berkowitz admitted to causing the flat tire.
The reality star described Berkowitz as a “psycho f**k” who was married with kids, despite his attempts to be a hero by warning her about the flat tire. She declined his plea not to file a restraining order, citing his stalking behavior at the gym and the suspicious tire incident. In 2015, Cavallari was granted an extended order of protection against Berkowitz, requiring him to stay at least 500 feet away from specific locations associated with her and her family, including her gym and other places.
At the time of the incident, Cavallari was 26 years old, married to Jay Cutler, and living in Chicago. The order of protection was aimed at keeping Berkowitz away from her and her family, including her two young sons. Cavallari and Cutler got married in 2013 but filed for divorce in 2020. Currently, Cavallari is in a relationship with Mark Estes, who is 12 years younger than her. The stalker incident serves as a cautionary tale for others, highlighting the dangers of obsessive behavior and the importance of taking steps to protect oneself from potential threats.
