Fans of reality television who are looking for an escape from their own lives need to look no further than Tori Spelling's second season of True Tori, which is currently airing Tuesday nights on Lifetime. No matter how bad your day may have been, after spending 60 minutes plugged into Spelling as she tries to coexist with her cheating husband Dean McDermott, you will happily embrace your problems over hers. Spelling has talked a lot over the last few years about being broke due to her bad choices. In spite of the fact that she is not raking in a mint like she once did, Spelling still insists on living the lavish lifestyle that being Aaron Spelling's daughter once afforded her.
On the next episode of True Tori, for once she and McDermott are not fighting over his shady behavior. Instead, the topic is money. Apparently, she was only paid $50,000 for the second season of this reality show and Spelling is worried about what will come next. As usual, Spelling is crying while venting to her husband saying:
"I'm sorry. I just feel responsible for so many people, and I can't do it. The responsibility of having to take care of so many people financially. And the fear of that? It doesn't matter. People, they look at me, and they're like [sarcastically], 'Oh, poor you.' We live paycheck to paycheck. After this, I have no f---ing idea if work's going to come in. And look at the life we're leading. We pay for five f---ing private schools."
McDermott dared to suggest they drop all the unnecessary nonsense and scale back to live within their means.
Needless to say, his wife freaked, saying, "But why should we have to? My dad wouldn't have wanted this. I'm just so mad. He worked so f---ing hard. These kids. I don't want to have to struggle. I don't want to change our lifestyle. That's why I work so hard. I don't want to change."
It seems like just one more area of life Spelling is fighting herself on. This show currently exists because her marriage to McDermott seems beyond repair, as the couple lives on shaky ground. The fact she burns through cash and then cries poverty is also her own doing thanks to being so resistant to change.
Do you think Spelling will pull herself back together and make some serious lifestyle changes for the sake of stability for herself and kids, or is she going to continue to be a disaster because it equals a sure paycheck? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
