Why did Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari have beef?

Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari had long-standing beef throughout the entire show of Laguna Beach.

The two were cast against each other, with Kristin dating Stephen Colleti, who was also supposedly interested in Lauren.

While there were some small nuggets of truth to the situation, a November 8, 2022, episode of Dear Media's Back to the Beach podcast, hosted by Stephen and Kristin, sheds some light on the truth behind the beef.

The love triangle, which even spurred shirts from Hollister with 'Team LC' and 'Team Kirstin' on the front, was never really an issue among the three now-friends.

What did Kristin and Lauren say on the Back to the Beach podcast?

Lauren revealed that the beef between her and Kristin was over before the MTV series even began filming.

She said: "I mean, I don't think we were best friends. But we were like, 'It's fine.'"

"You and I really never had any beef," she told Kristin.

"Obviously, there was a little truth to what happened. I felt like MTV coming kept it alive and made it way worse than it ever would have been."

Kristin replied, saying they "never had an issue with each other."

Lauren responded: "I mean, we had an issue with each other. But it had been squashed!"

What did Lauren apologize to Kristin for on the podcast?

Lauren gave Kristin a sincere apology for calling her a "sl*t" while the cast was on vacation in Cabo in 2004.

Lauren, 36, referred to it as her "biggest regret" during the entire series.

She said: "I couldn't believe I did that. Because I think where I'm at now, like, I would never call another woman that."

For her part, Kristin also apologized to Lauren, saying: "When I watch it now, I'm like, I wasn't confident at all."

"I was actually so insecure," she explained.

"And I took it out on you in a lot of ways."
