Kristin Cavallari Reflects on "Laguna Beach" Experience

Kristin Cavallari, known for her role in MTV's iconic reality series "Laguna Beach," has opened up about her experiences on the show, revealing that her time there was not as glamorous as it appeared. In a recent interview with Bustle, Cavallari expressed her initial belief that she was uniquely targeted by the show's producers, stating, "I think I walked away from ‘Laguna Beach’ thinking that I was the only one MTV messed with." She later realized that all cast members faced similar manipulations, highlighting the challenges of being young and having their lives shaped for entertainment. Despite the difficulties, Cavallari maintains a nuanced perspective on her time in reality television. She acknowledges feeling taken advantage of but also expresses gratitude for the opportunities it provided. "I think it can be both things," she noted, reflecting on the duality of her experience. The show, which ran for three seasons, has left a lasting impact on her life, leading to her participation in the 2019 revival, "The Hills: New Beginnings," which showcased the cast's lives in their 30s. In her personal life, Cavallari has moved on from her divorce with former NFL player Jay Cutler and has recently introduced a new romantic partner. She shared a lighthearted moment from their early relationship, recalling how her boyfriend met her children shortly after their first date, saying, "We were making out in my driveway. I felt like I was in high school." Her boys reportedly took a liking to him, marking a new chapter in her life.
