Kristin Cavallari recently shared a harrowing experience on her podcast, revealing how a stalker, identified as David Berkowitz, targeted her by slashing her tires in a disturbing attempt to get her attention.
The former "Laguna Beach" star recounted how the stalker, who had learned where she worked out, went as far as signing up for classes with her instructor, despite living 45 minutes away from the gym. Her trainer raised concerns about the individual's unusual interest in her, prompting Cavallari to be on high alert.
One day, Cavallari encountered the stalker at the fitness studio, prompting her to take evasive measures to avoid him. However, the situation escalated when she discovered him next to her car, claiming she had a flat tire before her car even indicated the issue.
Feeling unsafe, Cavallari sought help from her then-husband, Jay Cutler, who involved a private investigator to address the situation. Despite the stalker's admission of causing the flat tire, Cavallari was granted an extended order of protection against him in 2015.
Reflecting on the ordeal, Cavallari emphasized the importance of vigilance and personal safety, labeling the stalker as a "psycho." She urged others to be cautious, highlighting the reality of dealing with obsessed individuals.
Stalking incidents are not uncommon among celebrities, with Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove also sharing a chilling encounter with a stalker. Such incidents serve as a stark reminder of the need for heightened security measures and awareness.
As Cavallari continues to navigate the challenges of fame, her story sheds light on the darker side of celebrity life and the importance of taking proactive steps to ensure personal safety and well-being.
