Kristin Cavallari in the latest episode of her show, "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour" which premiered back in May, opened about how, despite her success, particularly with her brand, Uncommon James, people still try to credit her ex-husband, claiming he allegedly financed it. She said:
"Our revenue is close to $50 million a year, but because I was obviously a WAG — athletes’ wives and girlfriends, if you’re not familiar — people love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband, and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James. But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and I’be never taken any outside funding.”
She further added:
"I didn’t get any money from our divorce, so let’s just clear that up."
Kristin Cavallari went on to share how Jay Cutler's fans often fail to see her as someone capable of achieving success on her own, and continue to diminish her even today. She said:
"In society, you have to have a man. Then in the WAG world, you have to have a man, but you’re only supposed to be arm candy and really, you have no identity. Football fans love to diminish me and who I am and [say] I was only famous because of Jay. I'm like, what? Okay. I was on TV.”
She further added:
“Honestly, I’m just so sick of talking about my marriage. Men can be praised for staying single and busting their ass in their career. Women deserve the same thing. We should still all be chasing our dreams, whether we’re with a man or not."
Kristin Cavallari also shared during the conversation that she is happy to wait for someone who matches her definition of a perfect partner, no matter how long it takes.
