Tori Spelling Lays Her Heart on the Line as Marriage Crumbles

We’ve all been stuck in that gut-wrenching limbo before dropping a truth bomb bound to decimate someone’s world. Tori Spelling looked incredibly vulnerable at that harsh reality as she revealed filing for divorce from her husband of nearly two decades, Dean McDermott.

In the premiere episode of her new podcast “misSPELLING,” the beloved Beverly Hills, 90210 alumnae audibly strained to muster up the courage to break the news to Dean. With a trembling voice, Tori admitted how agonizing it was to confront this massive life change head-on.

“I hate confrontation more than anything in this world,” she said shakily. “But I have to call him right now while he’s at work. This just totally sucks.”

Tori explained the unwritten protocol that prevented her from giving Dean a heads-up before legally filing – she could only tell him once it became a public record. Cue the harsh reality of hearing Tori’s half of a voicemail left for Dean, followed by the deafening silence as she awaited his call.

When he finally rang, Tori recorded their emotional dialogue, gifting listeners an intimate look inside one of life’s most difficult conversations between partners. You could practically hear her heart breaking.

Unraveling Her Deepest Doubts and Fears

In the rawest of moments after that call, Tori’s anguish poured out as she confided in friends, “I’ve never, ever felt more alone than I do right now at 50 years old. The truth is, I don’t even feel worthy of love anymore.”

Tugging every heartstring, her sobs surfaced painful self-doubts over whether this decades-long marriage had run its course. With a heavy sigh, she reflected, “We always joked that we somehow made it 18 years, but it really shouldn’t have lasted that long if we’re being honest with each other.”

Enduring the Aftermath of Delusion

As Tori grapples with picking up the pieces, she admits to blatantly ignoring major red flags from the get-go. “People are always warning about the red flags in relationships,” she said with regret. “But I just gladly made dresses out of every single one and paraded around in them.”

Her candid testament shows even Hollywood’s trendsetters can’t escape the sobering realities of enduring heartbreak and starting entirely new chapters. While flowers and Aikido smashes may have divided Tori’s reality TV fanbase, her raw vulnerability proves her humanity is something we can all relate to.
