What would you do if an intruder came into your house in the middle of night while your kids were sleeping? Well, hopefully you never have to figure that out.
But reality star Kristin Cavallari did, and it’s a moment she will never forget.
During an episode of her ‘Let’s Be Honest‘ podcast, she remembered a time when she and her family were staying in the Bahamas in 2020. They had to stay there for a month because the pandemic spread while they were there.
At some point during their stay in a rental house, their A/C unit broke, so they had to call someone to fix it. She remembers she had a bunch of jewelry from her Uncommon James brand laid out in her closet, which is where workers had to enter to fix the problem.
Later that same night, she woke up to a man crawling on her bedroom floor. This was especially terrifying for Kristin because her son, Camden, was sleeping in the bed with her.
I was so out of it because obviously I had just woken up. And I go, ‘What the f— are you doing?’ And this man stands up, runs out the door, and, you guys, he had a ski mask on, full black arms, black pants, the full thing. And I went ‘oh, f—.’ Because Cam was in the bed with me, I didn’t yell. I didn’t scream. You think in those moments that that’s what you’d do, but your instincts just kick in. I honestly felt like I was in Mission Impossible.
She ran to get her now-ex-husband (and former NFL player) Jay Cutler, and once she got him, that’s when her nerves started to kick in.
Once I woke Jay up, then I got really nervous. Then I start [to get] like, really scared. I started shaking, and I was able to process then what just happened. But until that point, I was not scared. I was really calm. You just are running off of instinct.
Thankfully, no one was hurt, and Kristin hasn’t even told her kids about this incident because she doesn’t want to scare them.
So at the end of the day, it could have been a lot worse.
