Kristin Cavallari is opening up about her scary stalker.
On Tuesday’s episode of Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest podcast, Cavallari said it all began back in 2015, when a man, who has since been identified as David Berkowitz (not the Son of Sam serial killer) began following her after learning where she worked out.
Cavallari claimed that Berkowitz had signed up for classes with her same instructor. This is after she accidentally revealed which gym she went to while doing an interview. The Laguna Beach alum said Berkowitz reportedly lived 45 minutes from the particular gym, but ended up joining the gym just to get close to her.
“This guys is asking a lot of questions about you. He wanted to know if he could pay you to go to a party,” Cavallari remembers her trainer telling her at the time.
Cavallari said that one day she saw Berkowitz at the fitness studio “wandering around” aimlessly while wearing a suit. As a result, she tried to avoid him by going to the bathroom to kill time, and even wound up leaving the gym via an alternate exit.
“He’s standing at the entrance on his phone and I’m like, ‘Goddamnit,'” Cavallari told co-host, Justin Anderson.
Things got even stranger once Kristin made her way to her car. She claimed that once in her car, she noticed Berkowitz got into the car right beside hers.
He then allegedly followed her to a stoplight, and asked her to “roll [her] window down.”
“He goes, ‘You have a flat tire,’ and I go, ‘What?'” Cavallari recalled. “Then my flat tire thing went on, so he knew I had a flat tire before my car knew I had a flat tire.”
She said she then pulled around to a bank parking lot to fix her flat when she noticed that Berkowitz was allegedly circling around the area.
“I called my ex-husband, who called a private investigator who worked for the Bears. It was like a whole thing,” she stated.
According to Cavallari, her stalker ended up “admitting” to giving her a flat tire. The incident was so terrifying, it prompted the Uncommon James founder to obtain a restraining order against him, something she said he “begged” her not to do.
Cavallari was ultimately granted an order of protection against Berkowitz in the weeks following the incident, which was later extended for an additional two years.
