Kristin Cavallari will never forgive her father, Dennis Cavallari, who allegedly “crossed the line” with her children.
“A lot of stuff has gone on with my dad. He’s crossed the line with my kids, and those are dealbreakers for me,” the “Hills” star explained to Page Six Radio co-hosts Danny Murphy, Ian Mohr and Evan Real on Thursday.
Kristin — who shares sons Camden, 12, and Jaxon, 11, as well as daughter Saylor, 9, with her ex-husband, Jay Cutler — went on to emphasize the importance of “accountability.”
“Like, if I hurt your feelings, and I come to you, you just want me to be like, ‘You know what? I am really sorry,’” she said.
“Not be like, ‘Well, here’s why I did it.’ I don’t want you to defend yourself; just tell me you’re sorry and acknowledge it. It’s really difficult for a lot of people.”
The “Laguna Beach” star, 38, added, “And when you cross a boundary like my dad did and you can’t just take some accountability, well, I can’t have you in my life then.”
Because those closest to Kristin know “what happened” and know “the relationship” she’s had with Dennis, they don’t pester her about trying to make amends.
“People on the internet don’t understand, but they don’t need to understand. It’s not their life,” she made sure to note, arguing that if they did know the full story, they wouldn’t be saying things like, “You should really try.”
“No,” she interjected sternly, “he’s out of my life forever.”

According to the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast host, the ball is always in the parent’s court.
“I’m a mother. If my kid was like, ‘Hey, I don’t want you in my life,’ I would do everything to make sure I was gonna be in that kid’s life. Like, I can’t even imagine as a parent being like, ‘OK, bye!’” she told us.
Earlier this week, Kristin called “cutting [her] dad” out of her life “the best decision” she’s ever made, acknowledging that the confession “might sound messed up to some people.”
“Such a weight has been lifted from me,” she admitted. “There’s not one day where I miss him. I don’t know if it was two or three years ago, but I mean, I was an adult. Let’s say I was 35. It was 35 years of buildup to that point.”
While it “was something that [she] had been wanting to do for a long time,” the final straw was the alleged incident involving her children, for which Dennis “couldn’t even apologize.”
“Like, you’re just gaslighting me,” she claimed of their fallout. “I don’t have time for that anymore. If someone’s not bringing you joy — if people are only bringing you hurt and sadness and anger — what is the point? Even if it’s a parent, life’s too short.”
The Uncommon James founder first spoke about her estrangement from her “narcissist” father in December 2024, claiming she had been programed to “take the abuse” from him.
Dennis did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
