The biggest box of chocolates I’ve ever seen. A huge teddy bear … I mean, it was like, ‘Holy s–t.’ It was multiple people bringing s–t into my house. It was like s–t you see in a movie.” The Hills star ended up declining a date with him. “Now, as an adult, I’m like, ‘Red f–king flag!’” she said. “I mean, that’s some love-bombing kind of s—t.” Cavallari added that she “dodged a f–king bullet,” as the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer has since been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.
