The drama continues with Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler

Friends say they were not surprised when the news of Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler’s split came out.

A friend of the couple, speaking anonymously to Us Magazine, spoke about the breakup.

“Their relationship always had its ups and downs and Kristin and those close to her thought that Jay had a shady side to him,” the friend told the magazine. “The issues in their relationship had been brewing for a while.”

The couple announced their split last month.

“He was never pleasant to the crew or others filming,” the person told Us Magazine. “Her breaking point was this last year. She felt like it was time. They had been trying to make it work and she certainly had been. They had been to counseling.”

This is the latest salvo from Cavallari. She previously accused Cutler of “inappropriate behavior” in their divorce filing and later accused Cutler of being “lazy” and “unmotivated.”
