If you are someone who has been watching Tori Spelling's train wreck of a reality show True Tori on Lifetime, then you have already seen firsthand what a mess her marriage is. When her husband Dean McDermott's affair became public knowledge nearly a year ago, the actress decided to make the personal crisis the platform for her latest reality show, and so True Tori was born. While McDermott initially agreed to look like a fool on camera and was willing to shoulder most of the blame during their filmed therapy sessions, almost a year has passed, and it seemed that they have gotten nowhere. McDermott is now refusing to film anymore because it, quite obviously, is not fixing anything, according to Us Weekly.
Spelling sat for an interview today on The Meredith Vieira Show, and she once again explained and tried to justify continuing on with a show that, at this point, might actually be killing her marriage.
She said, "We let it all hang out. I don't [think I reveal too much] because if everything hadn't been made as public as it was, I would've chosen to deal with this privately with my husband. We're talking about the affair that my husband had almost a year ago. I chose to deal with it because it was my journey, it was my truth. Women everywhere go through this and I wanted to put it out there. It's completely cathartic for me and it's very individual.
"I know everyone has an opinion about me putting my life and relationship out there, and it's something ... I needed that. I felt like I didn't have a voice for so long. For me, you know, it's True Tori. I have a lot more to tell. I have four children, I'm a mom, I'm a woman and I want to go on."
Do you think Spelling is really interested in repairing things with her husband, or is she more focused on the reality that drama sells? As long as she and McDermott are a mess, then people are likely to tune in, and that gives her a desperately needed paycheck. While McDermott has hardly been the best husband, do you think he has a right to be fed up with things now?
