In the raw and emotional debut of her podcast “misSPELLING,” Tori Spelling shares the vulnerable moment she had yet to inform her husband, Dean McDermott, of her decision to file for divorce. The revelation came as news of the divorce filing had just become public, forcing Spelling to navigate the difficult conversation while on air.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star candidly captured the moment she left McDermott a voicemail, expressing her discomfort with confrontation and the daunting task ahead. The recording continued as McDermott returned her call, leading to a heartfelt exchange that left Spelling admitting to feeling profoundly isolated.
Reflecting on her 18-year marriage, Spelling disclosed her long-standing desire to end the relationship, held back by concerns for their five children. She pondered the duration of their marriage, suggesting that a genuine conversation between them might reveal mutual acknowledgment of their prolonged issues.
Spelling also delved into the early days of their relationship, acknowledging the rapid pace at which they fell in love and her tendency to overlook red flags, jokingly referring to making “dresses out of red flags.” Furthermore, she attributed anger issues as a significant factor contributing to their marital struggles, painting a picture of a relationship fraught with challenges from the outset.
