Kristin Cavallari Shares the Petty Way She Got Back at an Ex After a Breakup: ‘Man, Did They Get Riled Up’

Kristin Cavallari gives as good as she gets.

On the Tuesday, Oct. 22 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast, the Laguna Beach alum revealed she once "riled up" an ex-boyfriend by making him think there was someone else with her on a vacation to Mexico.

However, little did they know, it was just her and her two friends, Justin Anderson and Austin "Scoot" Rhodes.

Recalling the story in a podcast clip shared to her Instagram Stories, Cavallari said, "I'm gonna be honest with you guys, are you ready for this s---? I can't believe I'm gonna admit this!" 

"I went through a breakup, I'm not gonna give a reference point of when. But, Justin, Scoot and I went to Mexico and to be a little vindictive bitch, because sometimes I am... only when people f--- with me. Let me just say that. I never go out of my way to p--- people off," she insisted. "But, if you're gonna f--- with me, I'm gonna f--- with you!"

The Uncommon James founder continued, "So, the three of us, it was only the three of us, went to Mexico. But, I posted a little Story of four shot glasses. Four. Just as a big 'ol 'f--- you!'"

"And man did they get riled up! And little did they know, it was just me and the gays," she laughed.

Cavallari then said, "So, listen, if someone wants to f--- with you, I'm all about playing a little game like that that's not like intentionally hurting [someone]." 

"Well, it is sort of intentionally hurting someone, but that's harmless, right?" the reality star admitted, but urged her fellow women, "Again, only if they start the fight! We don't start fights ladies, but we will fight back okay?"

"Told you guys I would be honest," Cavallari wrote over the video.

The Hills star has spoken openly about her relationships and breakups in the past, especially on her podcast. She recently dated Mark Estes, 24, for seven months, but PEOPLE exclusively reported the pair had split last month.

Cavallari addressed the breakup on the Oct. 1 episode of her podcast, telling listeners: "Mark and I broke up. It's hard because I broke up with Mark because I just know long-term it's not right, and it's not because of love lost or something bad happened."

The star insisted "no one cheated" or "was mean" and said the Montana Boyz TikToker had always been "nothing but be so sweet and so supportive."

"He's been the best boyfriend I've ever had. I just know long-term he needs to experience life, he's young..." she said.

Cavallari has also spoken candidly about her relationship with her ex-husband Jay Cutler, whom she shares three kids with. The pair married in 2013, but divorced in 2020 after 10 years together.

Cutler was arrested on charges of DUI and illegal possession of a gun while intoxicated on Oct. 18.

On the same Oct. 22 episode of Let's Be Honest where she boasted about getting back at her ex, Cavallari reflected on Cutler's arrest, noting she "will not be commenting on what happened," but stressing, "I do, of course, wish Jay nothing but the best and I do hope that he gets the help that he needs."
