Tori Spelling would love to divorce Dean McDermott, but she can’t afford it?

Tori Spelling

Oh Tori Spelling. I waver from day to day on what to believe when it comes to her ongoing marriage woes with cheating douchebag Dean McDermott. Yesterday we heard that Tori will never trust sex addict Dean again, and he’s justified his cheating because Tori won’t bang him often enough. Because it’s all her fault of course.

The latest details on this drama come from Radar, which says Tori desperately wants to divorce Dean for real, but she can’t afford to do so. Sort of like Tori and Dean being so broke that he couldn’t get a vasectomy, right? Then they went and blew $10,000 on a Thanksgiving holiday last year. This new story makes more sense because Tori makes most of the money in her marraige, and there is no prenup. She could be on the hook for some serious alimony and child support if she divorces Dean. Here we go:

Tori Spelling has been telling friends she will go broke if she divorces her love rat husband, Dean McDermott, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

McDermott recently entered a rehab facility in Los Angeles, after the pair’s seven-year marriage was rocked by allegations that McDermott cheated with a woman named Emily Goodhand, who claimed she had sex with the actor during a two-day romp at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto.

Goodhand claims McDermott told her he was in a “sexless marriage” with 40-year-old Spelling, the mother-of-four to Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2 and Finn, 16 months.

Friends of Spelling tell Radar, “She would definitely kick Dean to the curb if she could financially afford to do so… Tori has admitted she would file for divorce from Dean, but she is afraid she would go broke.

“The couple has no prenuptial agreement, and Tori is the sole breadwinner. Dean wouldn’t settle for anything less than joint custody, and Tori would be forced to pay him spousal and child support. It’s a really sad situation for Tori and the kids.”

Spelling, 40, has a net worth that has been the subject of much debate with some reports placing it as high as $300 million, while others have suggested she is broke and the treasure chest has evaporated to as low as $1.5 million.

Her mother, heiress Candy, is said to be sitting on a whopping $600 million!

Spelling married McDermott, 47, soon after his split from Canadian actress Mary Jo Eustace and her divorce from first husband Charlie Shanian was finalized — a man who she did have a prenup with!

“Before marrying Charlie, Tori’s parents forced her to get a prenup and she was very thankful for it once the marriage went south,” said the source.

“With the recent allegations that Dean cheated on Tori, she’s now kicking herself for not securing the prenup with Dean. She doesn’t plan on divorcing Dean, but feels that a prenup might could have prevented him from cheating on her.”

Aaron Spelling’s daughter revealed in her recent memoir, Spelling It Like It Is, that she was in serious financial debt.

Tori “just can’t stop crying about Dean’s betrayal…she feels humiliated, and extremely angry at him,” the source added.

“She seems to care more about the public perception of her than Dean’s cheating.”

If Tori and Dean were still hitting it big on reality television, this would all make for an excellent storyline. As it stands, Tori doesn’t have a prenup with Dean, so he has no incentive to not cheat on her. Especially since he’s apparently so demanding in the sack while Tori spends her days mothering four children AND earning the vast majority of their money. This latest chapter aims to convince us that Dean is the complete jerk here and that Tori is stuck between a douche and a hard place. Do you believe it?

    Wow. She just can’t afford anything can she? #PoorLittleRichGirlProblems.

    • Meaghan says:

      Its this kind of thing that makes me hate her more. As IF she is that f’n broke. I do not believe it. And I am so sick of hearing this bullsh*t ‘she is the breadwinner and he doesn’t have a job’. He has a few shows he hosts on the cooking network, I mean I don’t know how much he makes but I guarantee its more then I do! And she has her books, all the advertising from her website, guest shots and all that. I am SO SICK of this sob story. She’s selling these stories I’m sure of it.

    • Jax says:

      What an ugly, stupid, narcissistic, delusional cow.

    • Jag says:

      It makes me nauseous that they’re calling $1.5 million broke! I want to win that much in the lottery. Sheesh…

      Karma really can come quickly, can’t it Tori?

    • MyCatLoves TV says:

      Doesn’t it make sense to divorce him NOW and lose half NOW instead of wait until maybe she inherits some dough from her mother. Anybody who’s been divorced (with real money issues in America) know its tough but we get back on our feet…..so much better without the husband who may have been sucking your lifeblood and savings account out from under us. Dump him NOW and then move on. I think I am speaking for The World…..we don’t want to hear your problems, Tori. You made your bed and now you gotta lie in it….alone. Grow up and take care of business.

  2. Neffie says:

    What a sorry state of affairs smh!

  3. Lark says:

    Alright, I’m a cynical bitch but here’s my theory (and I don’t believe anything Radar ever prints, especially after that Britney mess). I think Tori really doesn’t care that much if her husband dicks around or not as long as he is discreet and they have some sort of open relationship, but I think he took an inch and ran with a mile. I think she saw these tabloid stories about cheating coming a mile away and was aware that Dean was being a scumbag, and decided to milk it for all it’s worth to get money for their books and reality shows. Yes, I think both of them are that attention hungry. I really don’t think Candy is going to leave any money to Tori, I think it will all be in trusts for the kids and charity and I think Tori’s panicking over that.

    Chickens. Home. Roost.

    That is all.

  5. Neffie says:

    Aaron Spelling was a mega millionaire, why won’t her mother give any of her children just a little of their family fortune. So sad

    • eliza says:

      Well to be fair, Randy got a lot of money. Tori received significantly less because of marrying Dean.

      Yes, Candy Spelling has more money than she will ever spend in a lifetime but is it her fault that Tori did not spend her money more wisely? Are parents obligated to support their adult children? With thst said, I am positive Tori, her children or brother Randy will not starve. They stand to inherit the money when Candy goes to her reward anyway.

      Tori, IMO, likes to play victim a lot. It’s obviously what keeps her in the press. You cannot tell me she is so broke that she cannot afford to divorce, considering she has been spending time st luxury resorts and recently spotted shopping at Neiman’s.

      • Neffie says:

        I just wouldn’t sit there and watch my daughter and grand kids suffer if i am able to help,nothing to do with obligation more to do with compassion.

      • Tapioca says:

        @Neffie: Except they’re clearly not “suffering” through lack of cash, given their expensive clothes and holidays.

        I expect all of us here could live quite comfortably on an annual salary of what these two spend in a month!

      • Dap says:

        Parents are not necessary obligated to support their adult children (althought they should in some circumstances like sickness and disability), but they absolutly should give them an education which can allows them to provide for themselves when they are adults. Tory is stupid, uneducated and vain but she was made that way by her rich parents.

      • MonicaQ says:

        All the grandchildren have a trust and they are taken care of. The *parents* can’t touch the money.

        Tori didn’t care enough to go see her father on his death bed or get a pre-nup after she cheated on her husband to get with another guy who was cheating on his wife while said guy and his wife were trying to adopt a baby girl. So nope. If she’s that dumb to marry “out of love so we don’t need a pre-nup” when you have that much money and “finding your soul mate after 3 weeks” then deal with it.

        Do feel sorry for the kids though. This is going to be around awhile.

      • dizzylucy says:

        I agree with Tapioca – if they were going hungry and living on the streets, I’m sure Candy would help them in a heartbeat. But I get the impression she has no desire to fund an extravagant lifestyle for them, knowing they can’t manage their money and spend wildly.

    • Cazzee says:

      The money’s all locked up in trusts for the grandkids, which seems like a really good idea. Tori got $1 million when her father died and she has already blown through it all with the help of her grifter “sex addict” (ha!) husband.

      Nope, no sympathy.

    • Nina W says:

      She’s already received a great deal of benefit from her parents, including a career, and as an adult she choose to have 4 children with this loser. I don’t see that her mother has any obligation to bail her out financially at this point. If Tori has to learn to live a more reasonable lifestyle that is not a bad thing.

  6. NewWester says:

    So Tori met her current husband because both she and Dean were cheating on their former spouses. So now she is upset for not having a prenuptial?
    I can understand a person not having one for a first marriage( love, together forever and all that stuff that is seen in a Valentine’s Day card) but considering how Tori met Dean how could she be this stupid?
    The really story should be the relationship between Candy and Tori. I would wager there is some major gossip there.

  7. lucy2 says:

    What crap. Actually doesn’t he (shockingly) have a job right now, and she doesn’t?
    I don’t want to hear this “I’m so poor” stuff coming from her. It’s just ridiculous.

    • crab says:

      “while others have suggested she is broke and the treasure chest has evaporated to as low as $1.5 million”

      I’d like to see my treasure chest evaporate to as low as $1.5 million! Are you kidding me!! I don’t feel bad at all!!

      He and Eddie Cibrian have that same squinty eye douchebagging look about them!!

    • Tammy White says:

      Ummm the story says it would cost her a fortune to divorce Dean & she’s afraid she COULD go broke, not that she is broke.

      • Nina W says:

        It’s still BS, she can afford to divorce him and it would cost her less than staying married would in the long run.

  8. serena says:

    First it’s her fault for not protecting her money and signing a prenup, second I don’t believe this at all… broke? Yeah sure, maybe she can’t afford the ‘super luxury life’ she’s used to but to call THAT being broke.. stop bull**ting us!

  9. PoliteTia says:

    Please stop with this! Once again… There is NO team TORI!!! A cheater married a cheater. Then that cheater ‘cheats’ on the cheater! Really?
    The LOW BUDGET ‘Brangelina’ is just an eye sore. Tori pictured with her four little’ publicity-stunts , with creepy Dean, is just cruel and painful to watch. She will do ANYTHING for a quarter.
    I hope Candy NEVER gives her a dime.
    PS
    What is going on with Tori’s face?

  10. Deanne says:

    What is she so upset about exactly? She got precisely what she asked for. This is, after all, a man who abandoned his newly adopted daughter, for a woman he’d known three weeks. Oh, that’s right, they were soulmates and it was his first wife’s fault that he cheated with Tori.

    • Christin says:

      Absolutely! She supposedly made cruel remarks about the wife, too, to add insult to injury.

      This may have been a case of trying to prove their great love by ignoring a pre-nup. Candy was wise enough to watch this unfold before doling out more money. Tori had lots of opportunities, and did receive some money from the estate. This was a costly affair in many ways. She chose this path, as did he.

  11. Leigh says:

    It is just foolish to get married without a prenup now-a-days.

  12. Blannie says:

    I have zero sympathy for Tori. Didn’t she learn the value of a pre-nup from her first marriage? Did she forget birth control after the first child? After the first oops child? After the second oops child? She’s an idiot. No wonder her dad and Candy refuse to give her any more money. She got $800k, which most of us could live on for a lifetime. And she STILL lives in a $10k a month rented house, up from a $7k a month rented house (so not building any equity). Yeah, that’s really broke. They’re both idiots. I just feel sorry for their poor hapless children, being born to such dopes.

  13. Violet says:

    Aw, poor Tori — she might be down to her last $1.5 million! And the man who cheated on his first wife with Tori is now cheating on her, what a shocker.

    ::plays world’s tiniest violin::

  14. Sarah says:

    well seems her mom did everything right.

  15. marina says:

    Does she think crying poor makes her more likable? It doesn’t.

    Also, what’s she worried about a pre-nup for if she’s broke?

  16. Andrea says:

    What I find really concerning is the fact that in less than 8 years, they have managed to reproduce four times. When they divorce they’ll leave behind four broken little hearts. How sad and selfish. Don’t get married, don’t have children, if you’re not 100% committed for a substantial period of time.

    Also, anyone else thing the back to back pregnancy are kind of gross in light of Dean’s sex addiction. Tori’s was just back from the hospital and giving birth and Dean like: “Come on baby, I’ve been waiting.” Gross!

  17. anne_000 says:

    Every time I read that Tori doesn’t have money, I remember that she recently moved from a $7500/mo to a $10k/mo place & that she rents out storage units full of expensive stuff.

    And if not being able to be available 24/7 to have sex with Dean, then wait until she starts filming her new TV show with JG. Then what? She’s been his enabler all this time, if he really has an addiction.

  18. Meggin says:

    In this day and age, if you have money, who would get married without a prenup? Granted, I’m broke so what do I know lol.

  19. Zwella Ingrid says:

    “She seems to care more about the public perception of her than Dean’s cheating.”

    I wouldn’t doubt that statement is true. It always boils down to hurt pride more than anything else. I speak from experience. I personally think she ought to dump him, take the financial hit, and start over. I think she has a loyal fan base. Surely her mother would provide some assistance, at least enough for her to get back on her feet until she can provide for her kids? Not saying that Mom should help her. Her choices are on her, and she can start from scratch on her own if she were to put her mind to it.

  20. Jessica says:

    Apparently they have enough money to tweak their faces and now they’re either addicted to it or beyond the point of return. So sick of any sympathy thrown Tori’s way. She’s been playing poor little rich girl since before 90210. If she has any brains she’ll start getting her ducks in a row and simple cut Dean out of the loop of her activities and close his credit accounts. She may not be able to divorce him but she can tighten the belt. With what money is he wining and dining (banging) other women?
