Former ‘Very Cavallari’ alum Shannon Ford, who was fired by Kristin Cavallari on the now-defunct reality show, is opening up about hanging out with Jay Cutler during his divorce and an off-camera feud with her former boss.
“People don’t realize this, I was with my mom and my grandmother,” the reality star revealed on Dear Media’s podcast “Not Skinny But Not Fat” on Tuesday. ‘That video didn’t show my mom and my grandmother were there. If not spicy it was. “
In November, Cutler, 37, shocked fans of ‘Very Cavallari’ when he posted a video to Instagram to have a drink with Ford, 27, in Charleston after Cavallari, 34, made the ex-Uncommon James employee ‘unprofessional’ and ‘disrespectful’ had mentioned on camera.
Ford, however, told Amanda Hirsch, presenter of Not Skinny But Not Fat, that she initially wanted to meet talent agent Mark Block at a bar and hadn’t realized Cutler was there too.
The former reality star said she was hesitant to meet up thinking, “Oh no, Jay hates me,” but when Block told her Cutler didn’t mind participating, she showed up.
Ford said she “doesn’t know the reasons” why Cutler posted a video of it, but said he didn’t appear to be an avid social media user.
“[The video] was on his [Instagram] Story and he says, ‘I’m confused. Where do I type the caption? Ford claims Cutler told her. “He’s so removed from social media.”
She added: ‘I didn’t post it. I didn’t look thirsty. When I got there I put my phone very far away because I thought they would think, ‘Oh, Shannon is going to love this. She’ll want nothing more than attention and I wanted to be like, the cool girl who really enjoyed a drink with her boyfriend and Jay. ”
Ford said she thinks the former NFL star posted it as “funny.”
Ford also shared that she has not kept in touch with Cavallari after she was fired from her reality show, but claims the former “Laguna Beach” star once tried to stop her from pursuing brand deals after she left the show.
“[Cavallari] sent me a message like, ‘You can’t make a brand deal for …’ and she listed eight things I couldn’t do, which bothered me a lot because I was like, ‘Leave a bitch, get her f- king bag, ”Ford said. For example, you are a millionaire in a relationship with another four-time millionaire. I am a 23 year old girl trying to pay rent. “
The now influencer, who has more than 300,000 followers on Instagram, added, “Don’t tell me I can’t post an ad for something after you just took my lifeline by kicking and firing me from the show. not that. “
Ford said Cavallari allegedly claimed the brand agreements were a “direct violation” of their non-compete clause and threatened to take legal action.
Ford said she replied, “Here’s my attorney’s number, you’re welcome to talk to them about that matter,” to which she claims Cavallari wrote back, “Hahaha lol k.”
A Cavallari representative did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
