Kristin Cavallari may have learned a lesson about discussing her famous ex-husband. While Cavallari rose to fame by letting people into her life and has continued to do so for most of her career, she might have taken things a step too far when she alleged that she didn’t get a penny in her divorce from Jay Cutler. He took a minute but eventually responded, calling the statement “borderline slander.” Now, Cavallari is staying mum about Culter. She just dodged questions about him.

Jay Cutler called Kristin Cavallari a liar after she said she didn’t get any money in her divorce

Back in June, during an episode of Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, Kristin Cavallari decided to clear up some perceived misconceptions about herself. She claimed she didn’t receive any money in her divorce settlement. In fact, she emphasized that she didn’t get a “penny” despite what people thought. Fans found that hard to believe, considering all that is known about her marriage to Cutler. Cutler insists it is hard to believe because it’s a lie.

Although it took him some time to respond, Jay Cutler recently addressed his ex-wife’s statements. On his podcast, Take it Outside, the former NFL star dismissed Cavallari’s claims. He said her assertions were “borderline slander” and asked everyone to think about her words logically. Cutler insisted that no judge would approve a divorce settlement where Cavallari received nothing. He said that, considering his earnings, the length of their marriage, and her track record of prioritizing the family over her career while he was actively playing, it would have never happened like that.  Cutler also questioned her assertion that Uncommon James was wholly hers. He reminded listeners that she launched the business during their marriage, and thus, it was considered a marital asset. The former signal-caller said he has the divorce decree to prove it.

While Cutler called out Cavallari for what he claims is a “lie,” if you listen carefully, his words are very measured. He mentions that assets were “split,” and while he implies he paid Cavallari at the end of their union, it’s possible that that wasn’t the case. He may be suggesting they merely split assets.

The NFL star’s words seem to have sunk in

Cutler and Cavallari had a pretty tumultuous relationship and an often-tense divorce. In recent years, as things have settled and they’ve both moved on, they appeared to find a cordial co-parenting relationship. Still, every so often, tempers seem to flare again. That simple appears to be how things are between them, regardless of whether they are romantically linked or not. Still, their most recent tense moment appears to have gotten to both Cavallari and Cutler.

Kristin Cavallari is known for having strong opinions and voicing her thoughts in a fun and sometimes outrageous way. While she was willing to talk about her divorce and the settlement once, it seems like she might be heeding Cutler’s subtle warning. TMZ ran into Cavallari as she was walking through LAX last week. The publication was keen to get her thoughts on what Cutler had to say recently, but she stayed mum. She told the publication she doesn’t really want to talk about her ex.

While her renewed interest in staying quiet could stem from the “slander” claim, she’s expressed a desire to keep her time with Cutler out of the media. Back in June, she addressed the issue on her podcast. She said that she had tried to prevent talk of  Cutler in interviews, but she was inevitably asked about the romance and the divorce. Cavallari said that while she tries to keep things as private as possible, her time with Cutler is ultimately part of her life story. Cavallari has also discussed the end of other romances publicly.
