Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari, stars of the early 2000s MTV reality series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, confronted their infamous feud during the filming of a 20th anniversary reunion special. The rivalry, which captivated audiences, stemmed from a love triangle involving co-star Stephen Colletti in the show's first season.
Cavallari recalled a specific moment from their youth, stating, "They said, 'Who do you think is going to be prom queen?' And I said, 'I don't know and I don't care as long as it's not Lauren Conrad.'" Conrad acknowledged the mutual animosity, noting, "We did not like each other." The trailer highlights the tension but also signals resolution, with the full special set to stream on the Roku Channel starting April 10, 2026.
Signs of reconciliation emerged earlier. On October 11, 2025, Cavallari posted an Instagram selfie with Conrad from behind the scenes of the reunion filming, captioned, "Everyone can put away their team Lauren and team Kristin shirts now." The post went viral, with fans celebrating the end of the divide that once split viewers into "Team Lauren" and "Team Kristin."
On her podcast "Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari," released October 21, 2025, Cavallari shared details about the reunion, telling guest Justin Anderson, "I just got back from Laguna. I filmed the Laguna Beach reunion, which was awesome." She admitted initial reluctance, saying, "I didn't actually want to do it, and I'm really happy that I did." Cavallari described the process as "healing in a lot of ways" and "very therapeutic," adding, "It was such a great experience and just a nice way I think to end the whole Laguna Beach of it all." She also noted it felt like "the right time now" despite the difficulty of revisiting the past.
The feud originated when Conrad reportedly called Cavallari a "slut" amid the Colletti love triangle, an incident Cavallari referenced as part of the bad blood. Conrad has since expressed regret over the comment. While the event centers on heterosexual cast dynamics from the early 2000s, no specific LGBTQ+ perspectives or community responses have been documented in coverage of the reunion. The special marks a nostalgic milestone for fans, 20 years after the show's debut, emphasizing personal growth and closure. Filming reportedly occurred recently in Laguna Beach, California, aligning with Cavallari's podcast comments.
