(NewsNation) — Jay Cutler is slamming his ex-wife Kristin Cavallari’s claim she received no money in their divorce.  

The former NFL player said on a recent episode of his “Take It Outside” podcast that Cavallari’s comments about their divorce settlement were “reckless” and untrue.  

“It’s irresponsible. I think it’s reckless. I think it’s borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got,” he said.  

“It’s insanity. It’s completely false, completely untrue. It is, it just is. I’ve got a divorce decree. I’ve got something that’s signed by the judge — it’s like, 67 pages — it says the number breakdown,” Cutler added on the recent episode.

“But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and I’ve never taken any outside funding,” she said about her brand, according to Cosmopolitan. “I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband. I didn’t get any money from our divorce, so let’s just clear that up.” 

Jay Cutler made over $100 million in the NFL
