- Lauren Conrad sat down with Stephen Colletti and Kristin Cavallari for their podcast.
- The "Laguna Beach" star revealed her greatest regret from her time on reality television.
Lauren Conrad apologized to former "Laguna Beach" costar Kristin Cavallari for calling her a "slut" during a trip to Cabo on the hit MTV show.
"I called you a slut," she said to Cavallari on Dear Media's "Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen" podcast. "I'm so sorry."
"Thank you," replied Cavallari.
In season one, episode five, of "Laguna Beach," the cast of high school kids headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on their annual spring break trip.
Cavallari got into an intense fight with her ex-boyfriend and current cohost Stephen Colletti in a bar on the trip. He repeatedly called her a slut after she was dancing on the bar in a miniskirt. "You look so good. Keep dancing on the bar, slut," he told her. He dumped her in front of everyone and insisted he could do better.
The next morning Colletti, Conrad, and some friends were recapping the evening for the show when Conrad said: "She's wearing a skirt and a little thong and she's up there on the pole. She knows that's slutty."
"I couldn't believe I did that," Conrad reminisced on the podcast. "Where I'm at now, I would never call another woman that, or girl."
Conrad said she was being judgmental and admitted she was doing "the exact same thing" the week prior, before the cameras arrived."That was my thing. I was like, 'I was not the only one dancing on a bar, thank you,'" said a vindicated Cavallari.
"I mean, I didn't do it on camera," replied Conrad as the former castmates erupted into laughter.
Cavallari also apologized to Conrad for calling her names on camera. "When I watch it now, I'm like, I wasn't confident at all. I was actually so insecure," said the "Very Cavallari" star. "I took it out on you in a lot of ways," she added.
During an interview with Insider in July, Colletti confirmed that his conduct in the episode was his biggest regret from the series as well.
"There was a long sequence of events with relationships in my life and how I was handling them that led up to a moment where I was excessively drinking and didn't have my best moment, and I lashed out at Kristin in a way, and it was very inappropriate," said Colletti.
The childhood exes have worked past their drama and remain good friends. They have also maintained connections with some of their cast mates. "There's a bond that doing this show created between all the cast members," Colletti told Insider. "We grew up in a very kind, warm community of people."
"Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen" is now available on streaming services.
