Tori Spelling’s Hilarious Hydration Hijinks: “I’m Like a Cacti!”
In a recent episode of her podcast *MisSPELLING*, Tori Spelling, the notorious Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, unveiled a quirky quirk that has left many baffled: she absolutely detests water. Yes, you heard that right. The 51-year-old actress boldly proclaimed, “I don’t drink water. And when I say I don’t drink water, I don’t drink water.” Spelling likened herself to a cactus, stating that she manages to survive on minimal hydration, claiming, “Just water me once in a while, and I somehow survive.” This dramatic aversion has led her to prefer coconut water and soda, which she consumes in lieu of the good ol’ H2O.
Spelling’s unusual relationship with liquids doesn’t stop there; she even harbors a paranoid suspicion that drinks offered to her might be laced with poison. She recounted a moment when her estranged husband, Dean McDermott, handed her a ginger ale and she couldn’t shake the feeling that something sinister was afoot. “You’re the mother of my children. Why would I want to poison you?” he asked, to which Spelling replied, “It’s not personal. I think this about everybody.” This paranoia seems to stem from childhood experiences, where even medication had to be mixed with Coke syrup to make it palatable.
As a mother of five, Spelling revealed that she forced herself to drink water during her pregnancies, rationalizing that it was for the babies, not herself. However, her daily beverage choices lean more towards ginger ale in stressful times and Diet Dr. Pepper during those “thriving” moments. “I can guzzle, like, a glass of wine in, like, two seconds,” she quipped, but water? That’s a different beast entirely.
While Spelling’s aversion to drinking water is undeniably peculiar, it’s not entirely unheard of. According to the National Institutes of Health, some individuals may have a psychological aversion to certain fluids, often stemming from negative associations. However, it’s safe to say that Spelling’s playful dismissal of hydration norms might just add to her growing list of eccentricities that fans both love and chuckle at. After all, who needs water when you have a sparkling personality and a penchant for coconut water?
