Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott’s hysterical screaming fight: are they acting?

Tori Spelling

These are photos of Tori Spelling with two of her kids, Liam and Stella, as they depart their home and enter a waiting limo. Wait, what? Tori’s so broke, y’all. Look at Stella’s outfit though. She’s a little fashionista.

This Tori and Dean McDermott farce of a cheating scandal is about to get even more uncomfortable. This week’s issue of Star had a big story about how Dean is already cheating on Tori again, but the details were vague, and I have trouble believing any woman would fall for this guy. Especially with the whole reality show about cheating that’s playing right now.

When we last hooked up with these two opportunistic lovers, we spoke of a disturbing report about their failed partner swapping. The topic has (sadly) not left my mind yet, and I’ve decided that Tori leaked that story to make it seem like she’d do anything to make Dean happy. Yet he still “cheated.” Candy Spelling is correct — Tori is a master story weaver and a chip off the old block. This is a nice seque to the promo for this week’s episode of True Tori. Both Tori and Dean are weeping in their bedroom. Here’s the transcript followed by the clip, which also alludes to Tori’s super secret hospitalization:

Dean: [sobbing] “I don’t deserve any of this, I don’t deserve this beautiful family.”

Tori: “You don’t deserve any of it and yet you have it.” [hysterical] “You have all of it, we’re all still here.”

Dean: “What do I need to do?”

Tori: “Do something right. You need to do something right.” [Screaming] “This is serious, this is me. I am sitting here, my heart is ripped out. I have nothing left. I’m asking you, do something! Think about it.”

Dean: “What? What? I love you, I want to make this work, I want to be with you.”

Tori: “What does your heart tell you to do?”

Dean: “My heart tells me to stay with you and love you like I still do you.”

Tori: “If you truly want me back, think of something.”

This is incredibly painful to watch on several levels. Who could possibly believe it’s proper to film a fight like this, real or fake? Tori’s said she doesn’t want their kids to know about their marriage problems. These kids are going to see this stuff someday. I do think this whole cheating scandal is a sham, but it’s hard to believe that either Tori or Dean is this good at acting. Look at their faces.

    Why would anyone film this, and why would anyone watch it? If she wants to salvage her family, she needs to get off of television. Even if it is fake, it is perverted to do this to the kids.

    • MrsB says:

      I cannot imagine what would make this seem like a good idea to anybody. I feel so much second-hand embarrassment, I can barely watch the clip.

      • Snazzy says:

        I know, me too! Those poor children …

      • Tracy says:

        Second hand embarrassment sums it up well. I couldn’t even watch the video. It was uncomfortable enough just reading the dialogue.

      • kri says:

        FFS, please put your trash away and turn off the cameras, you crazy fools. I hope the ratings are awful and this grotesque display of …whatever this shit is… is pulled from TV. These two STD hostels make me bored and angry. Those poor children.

    • Crank says:

      It’s just sad. Even if they had this fight ‘planned’ as fake with a script, you know the emotions are real.

    • aims says:

      Exactly. If her house is really on fire like she says it is, why film? If you really want to honor your family and want to heał, why do this? There are somethings that are off limits, this seems like it should be one of them.

    • Size Does Matter says:

      I don’t know which is worse: faking this for the sake of getting a TV show or doing a TV show when this is really your life. Either way, grotesque, pathetic, immature, and selfish.

    • Boo says:

      Agreed. They probably allowed this to be filmed and ramped it up…on purpose to try to prove the cheating is/was real. I believe he cheated at some point but maybe not Toronto. I believe he is/was an addict. I believe they’re both driven by money. Here’s what I DONT believe…that either one are acting to respect and protect the rights, privacy and welbeing of their innocent kids who NEVER asked to be born to this reality TV crap. I wonder how Tori’s late father would feel about his grand kids being exposed like this? Even if they’re not in the house for this ‘scene’ it’s still they’re home and private life. Once again my heart goes out for the innocent babes who are being forced to deal with this dysfunction. And no, money and things don’t make up for behaving like irresponsible parents and worse then your kids! I sincerely hope Candy isn’t condoning or encouraging this ala Kris Jenner style.

      BTW I’m sure they will have met their goal which was to keep getting media attention and people talking…good, bad or ugly so I won’t be clicking on or commenting on any other posts about them.

  2. Diana says:

    Ugh…. Gross beyond words

  3. dorothy says:

    It’s disgusting what people will do for money. One day their children will run across this on the internet and be humiliated.

    • Decloo says:

      I think it’s pretty naive to think the kids have not seen this scene or others. They must have friends who are aware of it and talking about it. You can’t keep the kids away from the internet everywhere. What kid hasn’t googled his or her parent’s name. Remember when Tori was upset that a tabloid in a supermarket upset her kids because it mentioned the parents splitting up? Those kids are definitely not shielded from this garbage and that’s sad.

      • Mrs Odie says:

        I think they’ve probably explained to the kids that this is a tv show, and mommy and daddy are acting, doing their job, and not to worry. Whether it’s true or not, I’d bet cash money that’s what they’re telling the kids.

  4. InVain says:

    Am I the only one that thinks that is TOTALLY fake? I want to unsee that. All sorts of BAD acting on her part. She’s awful. Dean’s gross.

  5. LB says:

    The fight is pretty intense. I don’t like believing it’s all a sham (though I do have suspicions it might be all fake) but either way, I will say it’s pretty rare to see something so raw on reality television lately. Everything is shrouded in editing, anger and violence, instead of actual hurt feelings.

    They will regret putting this on the air someday, when their kids find the footage on the internet.

  6. gg says:

    These two come off like total psychos. Can’t bring myself to watch even a short clip. ugh.

  7. paola says:

    I am shocked.
    I didn’t think anyone was worse looking than Tori.. but she out did herself. Tori make up free beats ANYONE out there.

    Now.. being totally serious.. I have no sympathy for people who would sold their soul for money but this fight is something really really bad and you can tell none of them has some self respect or they wouldn’t be fighting like that in front of a camera.

    At this point they really deserve each other. The kids though didn’t deserve these tools as parents. And they will eventually find out sooner or later. Kids are not stupid

    • Lady D says:

      Falcor could still give Tori a run for her money.

      • briargal says:

        ^This!! Her reality show will see realllly boring though what with all Tori pours out to us!

      • Christin says:

        Yes, the next contestants for most ridiculous non-reality couple are scheduled to hit the screen soon.

      • claire says:

        The show is going to be cringe-y and boring, based on what we’ve seen. But the Twitter meltdowns and spin are going to be highly entertaining! I for one am hoping to see Eddie doing some major squirming.

  8. eliza says:

    I cannot stand either one of these two and totally support Candy’s distance and continued greed with her attention whoring daughter. You do not see brother Randy whining about life or trying to continue to soak up the reality spotlight.

    Personally, I think this show is a farce but also embarrassing and a disgusting video diary for their poor innocent children to be taunted with once they are older.

    Shame on both parents. No amount of money is worth throwing your dignity, self respect and the privacy of your home out the window.

    I really feel for those kids once they are old enough to understand the idiotic behavior and choices of their sad excuses for parents.

    • Christin says:

      If each of them have a paying TV gig (his cooking show and her upcoming show), that makes it even more puzzling as to why they would do THIS train wreck of a production. Do they need the attention as a couple that badly, or is just all about the money?

    • MrsBPitt says:

      By the time those children are old enough to see this, they will already be screwed up by the two selfish, greedy pigs, they call Mommy and Daddy…

  9. Bess says:

    I don’t even understand why these two people are famous. She was on a teen show over a decade ago. He’s a loser. Why is this garbage receiving any media coverage??

    • dorothy says:

      I don’t think they are famous, just infamous. Milking what she can out of dried of career staring on a teen show for any cash she can, doing anything she can. Money’s running out fast.

    • Lady D says:

      Maybe the human garbage in Calif. is magnetized to attract TV cameras? Only explanation I can think of for all these seriously sub-standard reality shows.

    • Decloo says:

      Because they have no shame and are willing to show this stuff on camera.

  10. D says:

    Awful, just awful. She looks pathetic and he looks stupid. This is fake. I think she allows him to cheat and just tells him not to get caught. He got caught and now she want to pretend she is upset about it. After all she did cheat with him. Why would she think it would be different with her?

    Also, she needs to stop doing whatever she is doing to her face. She was already unfortunate looking but now, wow, it moves in weird directions.

  11. Jess says:

    I think he’s acting…trying to pretend he’s actually sorry for what he did, I think she’s truly heartbroken and obviously has some mental issues. It’s disgusting that they’d film this, real or not, why aren’t they thinking about the kids???

  12. Delta Juliet says:

    I have had some serious issues in my marriage over the years and NOTHING pisses me off quite like, “I know I f-cked up. Tell me how to fix it”. No, you stupid as-wipe. YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. You know what you did wrong, now you need to step up and fix it yourself. Take responsibility for your actions now, or things will NEVER get better.
    I’m no Tori fan but I hate Dean.

    • kap says:

      Amen!

    • DrM says:

      Hear hear! My first husband to this day refuses to take any responsibility for the end of our marriage. He complained for years that he ”never should have got married and had a family…” He didn’t like spending his salary on the kids. For real. That somehow morphed into justification for affairs etc. Not that I was perfect. I wasn’t. But for Petes sake sit down and talk things out, even if it means ending it rather than go off and do something so hurtful. I tend to think this is real. And if it is I feel for those kids.

    • Ange says:

      Yes and no, I would prefer someone asking what they can do to fix things than just going ‘yes I f-cked up’ and leaving it at that. At least in asking you can have an input in what you want the end result to be and they can make the choice in whether or not to commit to that.

    • Lauraq says:

      Yup. You screwed up, why do I have to do the work and tell you what to do? ALSO, you realize it’s not a sincere gesture if I say ‘Do this and this to make it better.’ because then you’re just going through the motions?

  13. Jessiebes says:

    Urghh the ” I don’t deserve you” cliche, just before he cheats on you again or breaks up with you.

  14. Jayna says:

    Her husband devastates her and cheats on her, and what does she do? She lines up a reality show to film their counseling sessions right away. What a mom, having her kids see his sordid history played out. or acted out on TV.

    And where is this Emily Goodhand that mysteriously appeared for an interview with no photo pose for her for US Magazine like is always done and no interview on any of the entertainment shows like they all do to cash in more?

    And why hasn’t she reappeared or anyone found her? Star needs to do a real story and find this woman if there is such a woman or if she was real but was paid for the story and it was fake.

    I’ve lost all respect for Tori, whether this is true or not, that she is just a fame ho for money any way she can get it.

    • I’m not even really all that convinced that she’s ‘devastated’, or rather, that she’s devastated more than usual. I doubt this is the first time that she caught Dean cheating, and I side eye that his supposed Bond villainess-esque mistress released her full name, gave ONE interview (without even an extra creeptacular photoshoot where she’s in her underwear hugging stuffed animals like the chick that screwed Jon Edwards), and then disappeared. I smell a set up, this time.

      Dean and Tori are horrible actors, and that was just awkward to watch. Although I give her props, I suppose, for going make up free. Maybe she wanted to look more ‘raw’…

  15. Patricia says:

    This reminds me of the kind of immature, out of control fights I would have with my first serious boyfriend, when I was 20 freakin years old. No kids.
    They are how old? And they have 4 little ones relying on them? I put this kind of melodramatic screaming behind me years and years ago. These two are seriously immature and love this over-inflated drama. Sickos.

    • HappyMom says:

      Don’t forget his poor teenaged son from his first marriage. Think how humiliating it must be for him to see this sordid crap out there.

  16. Ana says:

    When their kids “see it” and “find out” about this? They already have, in one of the videos I saw about this, her daughter was sitting next to her on the bed. Fake or not is too much, especially when there are kids involved

  17. Sayrah says:

    Sheesh. Just reading the dialogue made me send my husband an I love you text.

  18. Sam says:

    I watched an episode of this. The therapy is a farce (speaking as somenbody who worked for a time in a family counseling center). Therapy isn’t supposed to be a platform for ranting and raving. It’s supposed to help couples figure out the next steps and how to move forward – apart or together. Tori keeps saying about how Dean broke her heart – and if he really cheated (frankly, I’m slightly unconvinced still), she has a right to feel that way. But she needs to figure out what that cheating means for HER – she keeps saying she wants to stay in the marriage. So then, work on staying. Address the issues that led to the problems. For example, when Dean brought up that they have unequal sex drives, that’s an issue therapy can actually address. But they spun it just to make it seem like Dean was being totally unreasonable, as opposed to trying to address it. They seem totally unable to work with each other. It’s basically an hour exercise in “you are so horrible!” “I know.” What does that accomplish?

    • Seapharris7 says:

      I agree with this. Sure therapy is a safe place & you can “vent” for a bit to address your feelings, but any good therapist will try to redirect that energy to moving forward.

    • Deanne says:

      Totally. Therapy is supposed to be where you can work through issues, with a non- judgemental person guiding you. Their therapist is horrible. She’s judgmental as hell and joins in on attacking Dean, right along with Tori. Now, I think Dean’s repulsive, but a couples therapist should be able to remain as neutral as possible. It’s farcical and insulting to the wonderful work therapists do every day, helping people address their issues and move forward with their lives.

  19. mia girl says:

    Just came in to say that the picture of hysterical Tori in the post heading is the stuff of nightmares… ~shudders~

  20. aenflex says:

    Plain and Simple:
    She doesn’t want to sleep with him because she doesn’t respect him. There is no genuine love.

    He seems to be hyper-sexed and cannot get enough, regardless of how it effects his life, family, career, etc.

    Collectively they a ruining their family, and the toll it will inevitably take on their children is almost immeasurable. Those kids need out of there. It’s a bloody circus.

  21. laura says:

    I’m going through this same thing in real life. It is hard to watch. I just had it out wirh my husband about his year long affair, there was no screaming. There was a lot of pain. I cant imagine it playing out on tv, I feel sad for them and their children. I hope, if this true, that they all find peace for their family.

    • nicegirl says:

      Gosh, Laura, I am so sorry you are going through such hell right now. I hope you can find some peace amid the heartbreak.

      • DrM says:

        Hey Laura I’ve been in your shoes. It DOES get better. I wish you all the best in doing what is truly best for you. Hang in there!

  22. NewWester says:

    The only ones who will need therapy are their children. Every pic they look so sad!

  23. wow says:

    Sorry but….bwahahaha at that opening picture. I know it’s not right to laugh at others pain, but I can’t stop laughing long enough to actually read the article.

    Okay. Gather. Proceed to read article. Lol.

  24. Shelby says:

    Love her facial expressions…that is all

  25. claire says:

    These two are just in the gutter. No dignity or self respect left and no one else will respect them after this. I’d be so embarrassed, but they don’t seem to have any barometer for embarrassment. At All.

  26. Lionbdadddy says:

    Please put “warning graphic content” on the front before entering the page. Tori’s crying face is very unfortunate and tbh, quite scary. Home wreckers having marital problems, gee imagine that. LMAO

  27. Maggie says:

    Beyond pathetic. I feel embarrassed for them.

  28. briargal says:

    Gosh, and Tori was soooo upset about the kids seeing the word “divorce” with pics of Mom and Dad on a magazine cover! Yet she thinks nothing about her kids possibly seeing this whole disgusting scenario. What a effin hypocrite! I would consider this a form of child abuse! Think how upset and embarrassed these kids will be ! They sure have a couple of LOSERS for parents,

    • Mrs Odie says:

      Dean didn’t feel bad introducing his seven year old son Jack to his new girlfriend Tori two weeks after he dumped his mom. I find it hard to believe he grew a conscience in the past 7 years.

  29. Ginger says:

    If this is fake then shame on them. The ten minutes of one show I watched while flipping channels broke my heart because their son Liam (which is also my sons name) was acting out in a store in the EXACT same way that my son did when his father and I split. We put our son in therapy so he could sort out his feelings which is what these two should be doing. They are exploiting their kids in the worst way.

  30. Pumpkin Pie says:

    Imho, there should be some clear rules governing the production of reality-shows as in making sure that there is a distinction between what is real and what is portrayed as real. I am sure there some kind of rules, but I don’t know anything specific. Say this whole victoria and dean thing is a masquerade and they SELL it as real, that should not be allowed. Pretending it’s real while it is not, that’s something along the line of manipulation or deceit. And that’s not nice. Call it fiction, period, I have no problem with that. And something else about these two, it seems to me they don’t know the meaning of dignity.

    • Boo says:

      Not even Hgtv House Hunters and all the spin offs are real. Goolgle the truth about House Hunters. Hint: you need to have closed on the property you’re buying or renting before filming. They’ve tried to make it look real at times by pretend picture taking, or on Caribbean Life have the odd deal not go through. Sure. Trust me ANY show on HGTV or other channels is not a documentary. Airtime is too expensive. Google the new show Flip it to Win It as well. Not much ‘real’ drama as they claim. The auction is staged, camera guy is in the house but they pretend to unlock and push door open, properties are normal MLS listings (so like HH pre closed on). Now there’s a theme each week with everyone finding lost goods, animals, etc. The staging all looks similar at the end and there many more inconsistencies and scripted moments to count that are obvious. We stopped watching most HGTV for this. Reality shows like most daytime talk shows are to sell something. Follow the money. They need a new label because Reality TV is anything but and most people know it. God, I hope it’s peaking and on its way OUT.

  31. Anastasia says:

    If he’ll/she’ll cheat WITH you, he’ll/she’ll cheat ON you.

  32. Sal says:

    This is so sad. I don’t understand the modern need of filming your every waking moment, do people no longer have a thing called dignity? Also her heart was ripped out? What about Mary Jo Eustace’s heart? It was ok for her to have *her* heart ripped out? McDermott not only cheated on Mary Jo, Tori then rubbed salt into the wounds with relish. Can you say Karma, Tori.

    • someone says:

      This is exactly why I don’t think it is fake – because they KNEW people would make these karma comments saying they deserved it. If you were going to make something up for attention wouldn’t you avoid the one subject that makes you look the worst and proves you were a jerk in the first place?

      • Emily C. says:

        Not necessarily, if you thought it would add to the drama and therefore to the money-making potential. And you were someone who wanted a supposed “reality” show like this in the first place.

  33. CJ Berk says:

    Totally fake all around. How could she do this? It’s not even acting-it’s so over the top. Get these two off TV-I don’t watch it….what a sham. And to think this billionaire’s daughter has no money-really?? Nonsense.

  34. Pants says:

    Well, I’ll never be able to unsee Tori Spelling’s crying face. Thanks for that.

  35. pnichols says:

    what a s*** show,

    • Lionbdadddy says:

      Quite literally. Their crying faces resemble constipation faces and the show is circling the toilet bowl down the sewer where it belongs.

  36. Emily C. says:

    They are terrible actors, and this is blatantly fake.

    This is not what therapy is. It’s not one person writhing in a masochistic “I am horrible” haze while the other person screams at them.

  37. holly hobby says:

    The screen caps of those faces can scare little children and animals. Boy the mugs on those two.

    The transcript reads like a bad Lifetime movie too.

  38. togirl says:

    Shame on them! I guess some people will do anything for a buck. Poor children,their the real victims here.

  39. Peachy says:

    PurgaTori!

  40. Sea Dragon says:

    I imagine this is what the married version of Kim and Kanye would look like if they had their own show.

    • Sea Dragon says:

      Except their big drama would revolve around the most trite of issues like what shoes she wore to dinner that night or why he hadn’t answered any of her calls that day.

      I honestly have no idea how people can enjoy consuming this BS.

  41. Skeptic says:

    First episode, I got it. I was sorry for Tori and also felt bad for Dean. Now, its like I watch Tori’s hysterics and I think “hum, she’s acting, she’s auditioning, she’s demonstrating what great acting she can do – it’s like a wrap for the future.” Dean is like going along with it by being passive and almost acting himself. If this is really true, no one should be airing their dirty laundry like that for the world to see. I think that’s worse than Dean cheating. And to bring the kids into it, I mean do you need the money and the work that badly. Tori should know she should she looks foolish to the point she’s losing credibility. And if you know you are going to cry so much in scenes – have tissues nearby. It really looks disgusting to see you constantly wipe tears and snot with your fingertips. Also, get over it. If you love Dean at all, forgive him, and go along with your life as best you can, as millions of other women famous or not famous have done. Or if you can’t stand it, cut your losses. But please…..stop the bleeding!

  42. Clair Douglas says:

    Like she is the only woman ever to be cheated on….she just needs to get over it !!! Those poor children…
