Kristin Cavallari, Jay Cutler Have Been 'Stuck' in the Bahamas For 22 Days
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler have apparently been stuck in the Bahamas for a few weeks and appear to be making the best of things. But are the couple really "stuck" in a foreign country with their kids and friends, or did they choose to stay?
Claire Downs investigated the situation and started a lengthy Twitter thread you can sift through yourself, but we pulled out some of the most relevant parts.

On March 12, the same day Cuomo announced that NY was in a state of emergency, Kristin posted this pic of her in unhemmed pants with the caption, “woke up in New York.” She lives in Nashville pic.twitter.com/FPI70An6mI

On March 15, she posted this pic w/ her friend/hairstylist Justin Anderson as “modern family spring break.” Ppl immediately came for her so Justin posted the same pic with this caption. 3/15 was the day NYC announced schools+restaurants closing; Bahamas has 1st confirmed case pic.twitter.com/POLVLpFKjC

March 17 Anderson posts this pic confirming Jay Cutler is along for the ride, with Anderson’s fiance Scoot. Caption says “we couldn’t leave here if we tried” he doubles down in the comments here pic.twitter.com/qnqjD7JMJT

Now it’s around 3/20. Kristin posts a pic with her kids who are apparently there too. The Bahamas have mandated a curfew and closed all essential businesses. You can still leave tho. I wonder if they have staff or if it’s a resort? Unclear. pic.twitter.com/5KorPhQx8q

The next few days on their Instagrams are all about beaching, day drinking, working out and doing dumb contests like flipping a tortilla with a scuba flipper into a bowl on their heads pic.twitter.com/OQFcWmsBAw

Okay now it’s 3/24 and the Bahamian Gov. has closed the ports for incoming travel and urges any visitors to make arrangements to leave. The US Embassy does as well or cautions travelers may have to remain abroad “indefinitely” Cavs and Ands post a workout vid “keeping it tight” pic.twitter.com/tzOV42Wvj4

After a couple more beach pics and a thousand negative comments on their posts, the gossip sites start reporting on it on 3/28. Hollywood Life says a “source” claims that they’ll be back to the US “early next week” which would have been 6 days ago. pic.twitter.com/eWSh5FlTSN

I think around day 15-17 is when it sets in for the group that they may be stuck for a v long time. Anderson says he misses his bed and posts about negativity in the comments. I almost feel like they are getting Covid FOMO when I read her cookbook promo caption about comfort food pic.twitter.com/bUO1B4vFQP

Back to Boring Gilligan’s Island. April 4, the US Embassy updates its Bahamas page urging US citizens to return home. There are 29 cases and 5 deaths. They likely face a 14 day quarantine in the US after returning home. That’s if they can come back soon and make a case for it.

Now, on day 22, they’re still posting workout vids. Are they coming back? Is this a deal with the devil? This weekend’s NYT article feels relevant: pic.twitter.com/4ti94heUzW

So, yeah. It appears Cutler and Cavallari chose to stay in the Bahamas rather than return home. It also appears they had every chance to leave and still did not follow the increasingly serious recommendations by the U.S. Embassy and Bahamian government.
So Jay Cutler (a guy who refuses to do in-studio broadcasting work), and his wife (a low-level reality TV star), are hanging in the Bahamas against guidelines while the rest of us are stuck at home. If you didn't hate them already, you're probably pretty damn close now.
I'll just leave you with this:
*whispers* This thread is more entertaining than anything that has happened on the 3 seasons of V*ry Cav*llari that have aired. https://t.co/dDsB01I9AW
