You guys, I just don’t know what to think of Tori Spelling anymore. Tori is steadily chipping away at the public’s last ounce of goodwill. She seems perfectly happy to make this exchange if it means selling few more copies of her latest book, Spelling It Like It Is. The entire book is based on how she blew her money on stupid stuff like luxury vacations. Yet here is a photo (from Tori’s Instagram account) that shows the prolific spendaholic enjoying the view from a luxury hotel on a Thanksgiving getaway.
For the past few months, the mistress of name puns has been talking out of both sides of her mouth. In this latest book, Tori candidly admitted she and Dean were so broke he couldn’t get a vasectomy. Then after people called Tori out for making fun of Katie Holmes, Tori was miraculously able to afford days of inpatient treatment for “stress”.
The contradictions continue unabated. Tori says she and Dean have been going broke for awhile — even though she vacationed in Cabo last year. With Tori’s claims about her financial situation, one would think the family would hunker down for a modest Thanksgiving. That didn’t happen. Radar says Tori spent upwards of $10,000 on this new vacation:
Tori Spelling cries about being “broke” every chance she gets, but incredibly, the poor little rich girl just shelled out an estimated $10,000 for a Thanksgiving vacation getaway, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The former Beverly Hills 90210 star, her husband Dean McDermott, their four kids, Dean’s son Jack from his previous marriage, and a nanny headed to the ritzy St. Regis Monarch Bay Resort in Dana Point, Calif., on Wednesday for some holiday R & R.
Tori tweeted, “So excited 2get out of LA 4 #thanksgiving! Some quality family time, just Me, Dean, Jack, Liam, Stella, Hattie, & Finn. Packed up and on the road.”
She failed to mention they were headed to one of the poshest resorts around!
The following day, Tori posted an instagram photo of daughters Stella, 5, and Hattie, 2, in matching GAP outfits, taken on the balcony of an oceanfront room.
And Radar has learned the group booked three rooms at more than $500 each for the four-day holiday weekend–and had no problem handling other hotel expenses, such as a $35 per day parking fee and Thanksgiving buffet costing $115 per adult and $35 per child. Tori spent even more for the other meals and activities!
It all adds up to close to $10,000.

Stuff like this makes me really wonder if Tori is not only lying but has been doing so for a very long time. As in … I’m starting to think Tori’s people have been feeding misinformation to the tabloids all along. Remember those divorce cover stories, Tori’s public challenge, and Star’s rebuttal story? It all seems so convenient now. Perhaps we’ve all been swindled by Tori’s long-term plan to make a ton of money while whining about supposedly being broke. I hope she’s enjoying the cash because I doubt she’ll be able to pull a stunt like this again.
Here are more Instagrammed photos of “broke” Tori’s family vacation.

believe this is broke to her. she grew up with insane wealth, like 20 years ago ten grand was just a new purse, ya know?
That’s what I figure. She has never been poor; she doesn’t know what a real budget feels like or what it requires from the people living on it.
I couldn’t agree more, she was raised by an absurdly wealthy, over-indulgent father who bizarrely (mostly) left her out of his will. She was not raised to be poor and has had to take care of herself without being prepared for it. I’m sure it’s stressful for her to be the bread-winner and she has a lot of anxiety about money and being “broke”. Her mother may be a wing nut but Tori will never go hungry or be on the street. Tori has no idea of what it means to be truly broke. She needs to stop talking about what she can’t afford.
The term “broke” is relative.
If you are too broke for a vasectomy, you too broke for a $10,000 vacation. The vasectomy’s cheaper.
Not only that, but it’s much more practical! 😉
TC — they can’t afford a vasectomy because she gets a $10 million lump sum payment with the birth of each child.
Things like this remind me once again that rich people broke and my people broke are not the same thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if she really thinks she is broke. Her mistake is trying to sell that like it actually means something to the rest of us. She needs to stick to just whining to her rich kid friends about how she had to downsize from a six figure international vacation to a five figure vacation close to home and leave the rest of us out of it.
This is exactly what I was thinking. If she grew up with all that money and now has maybe 1/100th of that, to her that’s “broke.” Whereas for the rest of us, it’s like five years salary.
” I wouldn’t be surprised if she really thinks she is broke. Her mistake is trying to sell that like it actually means something to the rest of us. ”
This completely. I believe that she does think she’s “broke” and I also don’t care at all–I’m saving my sympathy for my fellow Americans who are “real broke” not “rich broke”.
they could do a new show
‘torificali broke’
and live on an average american budget.
Great idea!
This is genius, Tori authentically on a budget, raising too many kids, useless husband, clipping coupons, stretching a buck, she should run with it.
I wish I was her kind of broke. Her kids are cute.
Yeah, her kids are cute. I used to sort of enjoy her reality show several years back, but after discovering her bullying of Mary Jo Eustace and hearing her gratuitous comments about Katie Holmes, this woman has become totally unlikeable to me. Get that ca$h, ok, whatever- but try a savings account, and a college fund for your kids instead. smh.
I don’t think she’s lying. I mean she’s working, so obviously she’s going to have money coming in, it’s just not nearly enough to accommodate her lifestyle. I
I think she just doesn’t know how to budget, so even though she has a great income, there are probably times when she has $5 in the bank because she’s spent everything.
Hmm. No sympathy. Whatsoever.
She is a Hollywood scam artist of the highest order. Always whining about her “difficult” relationship with her mom, the heartbreak of losing her dad, the negative press surrounding her getting together with McDumbitt, her desire to be something on her own w/o the Spelling name, her poverty, her stressful illnesses, blah blah blah blahhhhhhhh. The trick just wants to maximize her exposure to sell her crappy books and to get her ugly mug in the press to further line her pockets with the money of the suckers who buy into her “Poor little rich girl” shtick. She is desperate to have some network give her another reality show so she can subsidize these trips etc without dipping into her actual bank acct.
Candy Spelling would never let her grandchildren go without. She may be a lot of things but dismissive of Tori’s kids, no way. Tori thinks the public is stupid and buys into this broke story. Lol yeah, a $10k holiday down the road from her house is sure showcasing her having to do without!
Huh. Broke?
Not like any regular person is broke. Maybe broke on Candy Spelling terms broke, but regular folk broke?
Not even.
I feel like she’ll say anything for attention, and publicity for her projects. It’s kind of ridiculous.
but she specifically said they were so broke they couldn’t afford a vasectomy – and that is everyday folks sort of broke, she’s not implying a lack of money relative to her previous lifestyle, she outright said they were lacking money to that extent that ‘normal’ people are. And then goes and spends this on a holiday (I also read she took the nanny along – and if that’s true it makes it even worse).
I used to think she was ok – whimsical and a bit annoying, but ok. Not so much now.
The world HaS just lost Paul walker who was a great humanitarian…. undrrstood true suffering…..and now we have to listen to Tori’s whining!!!
Paul Walker was a super nice guy who did a lot of charity work. But a great humanitarian who understood true suffering? Let’s not get carried away in the name of Tori Spelling…..
People are allowed to be dramatic when they’re grieving, even if they’re fans.
The vasectomy thing seems like BS on many levels, Dean is Canadian, he could have it done up here for free. I do wonder if this trip could have been free in exchange for mentioning on social media, it seems like there’s a lot of that happening these days.
I think he’d have to be a resident here (Canada) for 6 months a year to get his “free” vasectomy. And our health care isn’t free — we pay a lot in taxes to sustain it, & there are many things it doesn’t cover!
That’s not true. Dean hasn’t lived in Canada for a very long time. He’s not going to be covered for healthcare up here because of that. He’s likely a permanent resident in the US (if not a citizen already), and pays for health insurance.
Don’t know about health care but I would put money on Tori getting comps, no way did she shell out $10K.
Oh boo hoo, she’s so broke she could only spend ten grand for Thanksgiving weekend. Gee, I feel her pain. *wipes away a tear*
What I REALLY don’t understand is spending so much to go on “vacation” at a resort like 50 miles from where you live.
Even with a part of me that shudders to look even for a monent that I could be on Tori’s side side, I do have to cop to the fact that sometimes close is best even if overpriced. While nowhhere even remotely close to to the huge amount she spent – for a few holidays my husband and I’s most expensive trip ‘away’ is one town over. A room with a king sized bed and a hottub for a few hundred bucks over Christmas. We tell HIS folks that sadly we have to visit mine and mine we have to visit his (we do visit em. Just, until we have kids, we are trying to keep the actual days our own). We pay a friend to watch the cats & house and take ourselves all of 8 miles from home and completely avoid the traffic, travel nightmares, bad weather, family drama (of which there is enough to make us A hide and B spend a total of about $500 feel worth the scrimping!) and what passes for ‘normal’ traditions in our families. Sometimes, away but not so far we actually have to travel is pure bliss.
That actually sounds like a really nice tradition of getting away together that you and your husband have. My husband and I try to get away to the beach (about 2 hours away) for a weekend now and again just to focus on each other.
For her sake, I hope she isn’t just dumping this on a credit card and not having any way to pay it back.
The price of the 1 adult buffet ticket is what made me blink.
Maybe her mom gave her the vacation as a gift.
Pants. On. Fire.
I took a week long vacation (first vacation in four years!) this year that cost me just over $2,300. I saved money for nearly 6 months to afford it.
This ish can GTFO.
All I can say is I’m glad none of her kids look like her!
I know from a personal source that she was a host to a tree lighting party that occurred on Wed. at that very same resort… So she must have had some comps.
I like her. Her books are hilarious, she’s a normal gal is some ways, has to work, etc.
It’s her husband who’s the cad. He was married w a baby on the way when he met her, and has a reeeeeeely silly tattoo of TS. Tori just wanted an hunky guy. I cry double standard. What’s the man word for “home wrecker” when the dude leaves his wife and kids??!!
After so many years and examples of the long life interviews/quotes have on social media and online, you would think celebs (that are so dependent on this kind of media for their relevancy) would learn not to contradict themselves. I wouldn’t brag about a rather pointless vacation (short and expensive) when you just put yourself on public record crying poor.
Hey she can spend her money any way she wants, and I don’t doubt she’s got it. But if you’re trying to maintain a brand as an everywoman, down to earth, trying to get by, beware the sensitivity of your audience. Hawking your lifestyle as a commodity is a precarious way to make a living these days, and the ranks of d-list celebs who are discovering and exploiting this new industry is growing. She’s got a short shelf life with a lot of competition, so she would do well to be smarter about how she goes about keeping and growing her fan base. Just saying.
