Kristin Cavallari has no regrets about cutting off her father Dennis Cavallari! And now she’s sharing more about what led to the rift…
During the latest episode of Harry Jowsey‘s podcast Boyfriend Material out on Tuesday, the Honestly Cavallari star opened up about her now years-long estrangement from her dad. She expressed:
“I haven’t talked to my dad in probably three years.”
Three years. Wow. The loving mother of three kids — sons Camden, 12, Jaxon, 11, and daughter Saylor, 9 — explained she was forced to set the harsh boundary when Dennis “traumatized” one of her sons! WTF?

Elaborating, she explained cutting off Dennis was ultimately “one of the best decisions,” noting:
“I always had a rough relationship with my dad. He crossed the line with one of my boys and that’s a deal breaker for me, especially when he had zero accountability, no apology.”
She’s yet to explain what fully happened with her father and her child — though she did clarify it wasn’t due to addiction issues. She has noted her father is a “narcissist” who has taken “zero accountability” for his actions, whatever they are. The reality TV personality previously said she only realized the narcissism diagnosis as an adult. She’d even considered distancing herself before — and then s**t hit the fan with her child and that was her final straw. In 2023 on her podcast, the 38-year-old said while speaking with psychologist Dr. Sherrie Campbell:
“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.”
This week, she added while chatting with the Too Hot to Handle alum:
“He traumatized my kids. And I have no room for that in my life, and so that was it.”
Oof. Good for her for breaking an allegedly toxic pattern for kids. That’s not easy to do! Sadly, the fashion designer has been left baffled at the reaction of her father:
“To be honest with you, as a mom, if I had a kid and I really f**ked up with my kid and they wanted to cut me out of their life, I would do everything imaginable to not let that happen.”
She detailed:
“I would be like, ‘I am so f**king sorry.’ Showing up at your house, like, doing everything imaginable, and my dad in a lot of ways was like, ‘OK.’”
What?? Kristin said her dad “hasn’t tried” to make amends at all and even thinks she’s the problem! She said:
“He’s a major narcissist, though, so there’s zero accountability with narcissists. I’m the a**hole, it’s my fault that he did what he did with my son, you know what I mean? It’s wild. It’s been a good thing for me to cut him out of my life.”
Jeez.
The fact he’s never tried to make amends in a twisted way must make her feel even more validated for doing what she needed to do for her family’s mental health and well-being. It shows he was never willing to try to change. Walking away was the best thing she could’ve done for now…
