Kristin Cavallari just exposed the social media red flag every woman should watch for. The 39-year-old podcaster revealed married men are constantly liking her Instagram Stories without following her, and she’s calling them out. On her latest “Let’s Be Honest” episode, she revealed a shocking truth about these deceptive behaviors.
🔥 Quick Facts
- The Story Behavior: Married men like every Instagram Story but skip the feed posts entirely
- Cavallari’s Count: She experiences this constantly, with many verified athletes involved
- The Example: One married man has his wife in his profile picture while secretly liking all her content
- Her Assessment: Cavallari calls these men “scumbags” and “trash” trying to get her attention
The Social Media Games Married Men Play
Cavallari didn’t hold back on her podcast Tuesday when discussing the deceptive tactics. The reality star explained that the strategy is calculated, targeting only her Stories while ignoring her feed. “The guys we really need to be careful of, ladies, are the married men who are liking every f***ing Story, but not liking a feed post,” she said. She described experiencing this pattern “constantly, constantly.”
What makes this behavior particularly suspect is that these men don’t even follow her officially. Yet through verified badges and marked activity, the Uncommon James founder can track their engagement. “They don’t follow me, by the way, either, but they’re verified and I see a lot of the verified activity,” Cavallari revealed. She noted a lot of them are athletes, which adds another layer to the discovery.

One Man’s Wife in His Profile Picture
Cavallari highlighted one particularly egregious example that left her astonished. This verified user “has his f***ing wife in his profile picture,” yet he “likes every single story I post” without following her and without liking her feed posts. The contradiction is glaring: publicly committed to a spouse while secretly engaging with another woman. “The only reason you’re doing that is to try to get my attention,” Cavallari stated bluntly.
Her reaction was visceral and direct. “To me, you’re a f***ing scumbag. I wish I could just call these people out or DM the wife and be like, ‘Here’s the activity that your husband is doing, look at all these likes.’ Like, you’re trash,” she expressed. The Laguna Beach alum emphasized the disrespect this behavior shows, both to the women being targeted and to the spouses being deceived.
Where to Draw the Line on Dating Red Flags
| Behavior | Cavallari’s Take |
| Following attractive women | Not necessarily a problem, acceptable in relationships |
| Liking photos of women he knows | A bigger red flag, shows interest in specific people |
| Selective Story engagement | Major red flag, covert behavior hiding true intentions |
| Married men doing this specifically | Completely “trash,” disrespectful to spouses |
Cavallari also provided nuance to her relationship advice. She doesn’t believe women should control their partners or forbid them from following attractive women. “We can’t have our men be living under a rock,” she reasoned. The three-time mom explained that men face constant exposure to attractive content “on a daily basis,” and attempting to restrict them often backfires. “If you try to control your man, ‘You can’t follow her,’ he’s gonna do it ten times more than he wanted to,” she noted.
“The only reason you’re doing that is to try to get my attention, and to me, you’re a f***ing scumbag. I wish I could just call these people out or DM the wife and be like, ‘Here’s the activity that your husband is doing, look at all these likes.’ You’re trash.”

Why This Covert Behavior Is Different
Cavallari made a crucial distinction between passive consumption and active deception. Following someone or even liking occasional public photos is one thing. But deliberately targeting someone’s Stories while avoiding the feed represents intentional concealment. This pattern suggests the man fears his wife or girlfriend discovering the activity through his feed, making the Story likes harder to track. “You’re disrespecting me and my boundaries if you’re liking my content when you’re supposed to be committed,” Cavallari essentially argued.
The reality television personality, who was married to NFL player Jay Cutler from 2013 to 2022, brings real experience to this conversation. She shares three children with Cutler and has navigated the dating world since their divorce. Her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari”, regularly features relationship advice and personal observations from her dating experiences. This episode is no exception, offering listeners a wake-up call about what to watch for.
Is This Becoming a Widespread Problem?
Cavallari indicated this isn’t a one-time occurrence or isolated incident. “I have those men constantly, constantly,” she emphasized, suggesting this pattern is surprisingly common among her followers. The fact that many of them are verified athletes adds credibility to her observations and suggests this crosses socioeconomic and professional boundaries. Men with significant platforms and public profiles are equally capable of the behavior she described. Her upcoming Laguna Beach reunion special, set to air April 10 on Roku, will likely feature more candid conversations about relationships and social media dynamics in today’s dating landscape.
