Tori Spelling’s Daughter Calls Out Toxic Love: Time to Move On

Well, isn’t this just a delight? Tori Spelling, the queen of reality TV drama, has decided to share some *gems* from her life with us again. This time, it’s her 13-year-old daughter Hattie who’s taken on the role of relationship advisor. On an episode of her podcast, aptly named *misSPELLING*, Tori revealed that Hattie had the audacity to ask her if she’d ever considered dating someone other than her soon-to-be ex-husband, Dean McDermott. Apparently, Hattie, in her teenage wisdom, recognized that her parents’ relationship was about as healthy as a three-day-old takeout box. Tori graciously confessed that Hattie was “scared” to bring it up, which is a charming sentiment because who wouldn’t want to tiptoe around their parents’ messy love life?

In a rare moment of clarity, Tori shared that the fighting between her and Dean had become so unbearable that it was easier for the kids to see their parents apart. Shocking, right? It’s almost like kids pick up on that whole “yelling equals bad” thing. As if that wasn’t enough, Tori dropped the bomb that Dean’s struggles with addiction turned their home life into a sitcom nobody wanted to watch. Hattie, bless her heart, could see through the charade and just wanted her mom to be treated “right.”

Let’s all take a moment to applaud Hattie for her bravery. Who knew a 13-year-old could have such insight? Tori, in her infinite wisdom, realized she had stuck around too long for the sake of the kids, believing that a dysfunctional family was better than a split one. Classic move—sacrificing your happiness for the “greater good” of raising kids in a toxic environment. Spoiler alert: It’s not. Tori now recognizes that staying with someone who treats you poorly doesn’t actually teach kids anything good, except maybe how to ignore red flags at the first sign of a relationship.

She also mentioned her own parents’ long marriage as a template for love, which, let’s be honest, sounds more like a recipe for disaster when you’re trying to recreate it under entirely different circumstances. It’s almost like she thought, “If it worked for them, it should totally work for us!” But spoiler alert: it doesn’t.

So, here we are, with Tori finally realizing that being a martyr for the sake of family unity is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. It’s refreshing to see someone finally come to their senses, but let’s not pretend this epiphany wasn’t long overdue. Here’s hoping she takes her daughter’s wise words to heart and doesn’t drag this saga out any longer than necessary.

And there you have it—another family drama unfolding like a cheap soap opera. You’re welcome.
