Yesterday we told you about Candy Spelling’s so-called “heartfelt plea” via the Internet to her estranged daughter Tori. Well, any goodwill with Tori she may have garnered has probably now been decimated, thanks to her new interview with OK! Magazine in which she claims that she gave her kids a “normal” life and that Tori is just “playing the victim” again. See- a true bitch can’t keep it hidden for very long!
As Tori Spelling’s new book, Mommywood, which describes her mother Candy Spelling as “disastrous” and calls their relationship “intense and destructive,” hits bookstore shelves, an escalating war of words between mother and daughter has begun. To try to make sense of it all, OK! went straight to Candy to hear her side of things.
“It hurts a lot,” she says in the new issue of OK! about the allegations made in Mommywood. “She’s always playing the victim, but at 36 years old, I think it’s time not to play the victim anymore.”
It appears that one of the biggest issues Candy has with her estranged daughter is that she feels Tori is exploiting her children for her career. “I certainly never took one of my kids and made them objects,” she explains. “It’s always like they’ve got them when it’s convenient for the press. They are objects that are being used for her press persona… My kids — although she says differently — had a very normal life.”
As for her currently strained relationship with Tori, Candy say, “I hope that it would change. My son has not stopped hoping. My husband [legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling] until the day he died was hoping. We are all there ready to welcome her with open arms. But she has to be willing.”
So does Candy think Tori should have any more children? “That would be wonderful,” she says, adding with a laugh, “But just set up more trust funds!
“It shouldn’t be all about the money. I know that’s a big thing with her, but that’s not all it’s about.”
I do agree with Candy that the kids should be shielded from the press, but let’s not forget that this is the same woman who told a young Tori that she would be pretty “as soon as you get a nose job.” The woman’s a stone cold bitch! Where do you think Tori learned how to be a fame whore in the first place? I just wish these two nit wits would either hug it out or have a cage match on pay-per-view, and leave the rest of us out of it. We have enough family problems of our own!

Wow! Ice Queen!
Seems like Candy and my mother are cut from the same cloth. Bitter, delusional, and queen of the martyrs is no way to live your life.
People love to hate on Tori and IMO I don’t think she is that bad. I felt like you got to see more of who she is watching her show. When she was dealing with her mother while preg and talking about their relationship seemed all to real (she’s not that good of an actress)!
Yay to her being able to define the boundaries that work for her. It’s hard enough having a dysfunctional parent let alone all the guilt that comes with it. Years of childhood hurt take time to heal and balance out what a “good” parent is to your own kids. Maybe this isn’t the time for Tori and her mother to reconnect.
So does Candy think Tori should have any more children? “That would be wonderful,” she says, adding with a laugh, “But just set up more trust funds!”
Yae says ..You’re filthy rich woman, set up your grandkids trust funds YOURSELF.
This woman will die and probably leave her $ to a dog shelter
team tori. candy has an agenda & it’s not to reconcile with her daughter. she wants to bond with tori’s kids & her kids only. first she disses her as a daughter & then as a mother. what a complete beyotch. tori should tell her to step off.
i believe her mother. i think tori is a spoil brat from the beginning and that started the fued long time ago. i think aaron spelling spoiled her and gave her everthing she wanted and her mother was not having it. there’s something about tori spelling and her husband dean i don’t trust.. can’t exactly put my fingers on it. i think they are using the children as pay day and to stay in the spotlight. they act so caring and normal on their reality show, but it’s all phony. they always say that they are concerned about money, but i can tell they ain’t hurtin’ none. fake, fake, fake! i feel bad for the mother, the kids are being used by tori to punish her.
I think it is irresponsible for an adult like Candy to make statements regarding what is being fed to her from the media. If she isn’t talking directly to Tori, then she doesn’t know what is truly being said. All she is doing is fueling the fire.
If ” it shouldn’t be all about money ” as Candy claims, then why doesn’t she set up trust funds for these grandchildren at least?
tori looks like spongebob square pants in this photo…what’s wrong with her?
I think Candy will take care of those kids quite nicely.
However, I do remember an episode of Tori and Dean where Candy would not show up to Liam’s birthday party, but sent dozens of gifts. I thought that was kind of odd. Candy doesn’t strike me as someone who is against being on camera.
These two need to get into joint counseling and just hash it out in private.
A good mother would not talk about her daughter this way. Candy Spelling makes it very clear how horrid a mother she is every time she flaps her gums about Tori.
Someone please take a spool of duct tape to Candy Spelling’s mouth. Tori Spelling grew up in the lap of Hollywood luxury, true, but in her defense she had a father who only knew how to show affection with material things and a psychotic mother. IMO Tori has done the best with what life has given her, for better and for worse. I don’t particularly like how she and Dean cheated on their respective spouses to be with each other, but that’s besides the point here.
They’re both a couple of whiners. Time is widdling away and whatever caused the riff will soon be meaningless. Tori will find that all the money she inherits after her mother’s death will not make up for years of anger and loneliness. Some folks have to learn the hard way.
Poor Tori. Her mother reeks of dysfunction. My kids drive me sometimes but I don’t air my complaints in public to friends or family I deal with it ‘in house’. Same with any issues with my husband that’s between him and me, not anyone else.
No wonder Tori seems to have food and appearance issues can you imagine what her mother is like when she’s at home?
I think that Candy is jealous of Tori and the relationship she had With Aaron.
Now she holds the purse strings and wants Tori to know she’s the boss is now.
I always knew there was something wrong with the whining crybaby Tori, and now I know what it is.
She has become the brainwashed image that all the TV shows claim should be the hurt and forever crushed paralyzed, psychotic inner child, the blame the parents crew of the 60’s created. Every two bit sick flick where the never grateful for anything piece of crap brat blames EVERYTHING on their human parent – and cannot be thankful for even the LIFE their parents lovemaking gave them.
It’s the – ultimate formation of the hollywood whine set – encompassed insde that deranged brat Tori.
The USA has developed such a sub-culture of parent hating cleche’s, we’ve actually started producing them as people – and poor insane Tori IS one.
Congratulations hollywood – you have finally produced monsters – and they bear the stamp of derangement you demanded they adopt as their “view of life”. You’re quite the producer – enjoy your sick, deranged, whining, hate filled product, that is now out of your control, entirely.
I suppose you can applaud yourselves for the massive power of the influence – the amazing depths of the destruction are quite impressive.
Has anyone else seen the article/pics of Tori and Dean in US or Star Magazine claiming to be broke and standing in front of a dollar store, playing the lottery, etc.? Subtle they’re not. I think Candy must be incredibly bored to be harping on this long-standing feud now. I guess there’s just so much shopping you can do in your life. Maybe she should find a charity or a hobby to occupy her time.
I WATCH THE SHOW EVERY WK & AT FIRST WHEN I SAW THAT TORI& DEAN HAD LEFT THERE MARRIAGE I FELT BOTH OF THEM WERE WRONG. BUT AFTER WATCHING THE SHOW I SEE HOW IN LOVE THEY ARE & THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE. CANDY NEEDS TO GET OVER IT & SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE HOSPITAL WHEN BOTH OF THE GRANDCHILDREN HAD BEEN BORN. GET OVER IT & GET ON EITHER DO OR DON’T
I dont think Tori is exploiting her kids. I see on her show she is a hard working mom and from what I see she seems to be a good mother..I love watching her show. She isnt your typical actress she shows her human side. She kinda reminds me of a modern day I love lucy which I think is a good thing
Does Candy not get how the more she talks to the press, the worse she comes off? If Tori & Dean wanted to rescind the involved-grandma invite, I wouldn’t blame them.
