Kristin Cavallari Shuts Down Jeff Dye's Outrage Over Her Sharing DUI Story

Kristin Cavallari has some choice words for ex Jeff Dye after he claimed she outed his DUI incident.

The former reality star, 36, posted a video addressing the drama on Wednesday, January 3, during an Instagram Q&A. After Cavallari asked her followers what topics they wanted to discuss, a fan wrote, “Jeff outing himself as the DUI guy.”

Cavallari put Dye’s recent comments about her on blast, saying, “I’m just going to f–king post it. This is so funny to me. I never said his name, so, yeah.”

In an October 2023 episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, Cavallari mentioned an incident where an unnamed ex-boyfriend got arrested in front of her during a trip to Los Angeles.

“I go, ‘Can you guys tell me what is going on?’” she said, recalling her conversation with the arresting officers. “One of the police officers goes, ‘There was a report of a hit-and-run down the street, and he matches the description of the guy.’”

Us Weekly confirmed that same month that Dye, 40, had been arrested for fleeing the scene of a traffic collision and driving under the influence. According to the Burbank Police Department, the comedian collided with a tree and fled the accident on foot.

Dye, who linked to Cavallari for five months in 2021, later slammed Cavallari for publicly discussing the incident.
