On Tuesday, we talked about Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s impending divorce. Tori and Dean had been threatening to end their marriage for what feels like 17 of their 18 years, but last week, probably to the relief of their five children, Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, seven, they finally did it. Because a girl has no shame, Tori’s been serving iced tea about their breakup through her podcast, misSPELLING. She talked about their last big fight, throwing ketchup a loaded baked potato in a rage, and how they hadn’t slept in the same bed for three years before their divorce. Well, Tori wasn’t done there, no ma’am. While responding to people telling her to just be happy alone, Tori decided to share that alone time isn’t her thang. Like, ever. She even needs someone else to watch her use the bathroom. This is a case of “Celebrities are NOT just like us” because pooping in peace is one of life’s greatest joys. So yeah, I did not have Tori Spelling’s weird bathroom habits on my bingo card today, but here we are.
Tori Spelling admitted to “Misspelling” podcast listeners Monday that she hasn’t “pooped [or] peed alone in [the] 18 years” she was married to Dean McDermott.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum explained that she always did her business in front of her husband – but now goes to the bathroom in front of her kids since splitting from the actor.
“First it was Dean, then it was kids,” Spelling, 50, said of her five children — Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7.
“Beau still stands there and stares and talks to me, like, while I’m pooping,” she said. “I think I function better with people.
“Is that codependent?” Spelling asked. “Yes. Cool.”
The confession came after the actress recalled people telling her she should “be happy … alone.”
Oh. My. God. What the actual…? I’m just flabbergasted, her poor son. Imagine needing your seven-year-old child to step up and take his father’s place as the person who talks to you while you poop. Talk about your marriage being in the sh–tter. I know Dean also put Tori through a lot of, um, crap, but man, he really did stick around, hoping that the big payout was gonna come at some point, didn’t he? Making your partner or child watch you take a dump just so you don’t have to be alone is not being codependent. It violates so many boundaries. Children have and deserve boundaries! If you “function better” with people, then you need to take some probiotics and go to therapy to work through that, my goodness. I am sure that Tori is not done oversharing, either, because that broke broad needs to make sure she gets attention at all costs. She sounds exhausting to live with. I really, really hope Grandma Candy is opening her pocket books to help pay for her children’s future therapy bills.
I would likely die of embarrassment on the spot if I knew someone was observing me whilst on the toilet.
Oh my god. Why?
I think Candy is trying to pull a QEll and live for as long as she can. Lord knows what will happen when Tori finally gets her money.
And I know this isn’t the crux of the issue – but man. Once I hit money crisis 1, I would have taken financial literacy classes and started selling off my hundreds of warehouses full of designer crap. Instead she just did books and shows and sank lower and lower and ….
Therapy. The woman needs so so much therapy. For the love of god.
And being co-dependent with your kids – or your partner – isn’t healthy and dear god, don’t tell the whole world.
God, just tell a girlfriend! No shame indeed. TMI! She obviously isn’t thinking about her kids and how embarrassing this might be for them- having their mother use a podcast like a wine party with the girls or a therapist appointment. Jeez! Get a therapist! Figure out why you feel the need to bitch and moan in podcast form. Cringe!!! Bottom of the barrel entertainment. Have some dignity. Oh wait …it’s Tori Spelling lol
She is incapable of just shutting the f*ck up. As is always stated in the Spelling threads–her kids will need DECADES of therapy.
I admit to sometimes peeing with the door open when my husb is in the other room and I want to continue talking to him but I cannot imagine pooping in front of him. It’s nice to be comfortable with your partner but there’s nothing wrong with maintaining strong boundaries when it comes to personal habits. I keep my pooping VERY discreet–he don’t need to know shit about all that, pun intended.
I announce when I’m going to the bathroom. A simple “I’ll be back. I’m gonna run to the bathroom” so that
1- my kids don’t suddenly need me and try to find me. They know where I am and that it has to wait
2- the kids don’t go outside alone. We live with mountain lions, moose, bear, coyotes and Bob cats. Half the time they think if I hear the door i know they are going outside. But I can’t hear it in the bathroom and that means y’all need to stay and chill.
3- no cooking, eating or attempting to fly or jump down a flight of stairs since I’m in the bathroom and can’t spit out a fire, Heimlich somebody or stop a child’s attempt at flight before it begins.
That’s it. I tell them so they know to give me space and to not tempt fate while I’m not close by to attempt to mitigate their riskier behaviors.
And I have never pooped in front of my husband besides child birth.
I’ve also never pooped in front of my bffs or neighbors or colleagues.
I’m blessed that way. …. For now.
Everybody poops…but set some boundaries. Dang.
I remember when my kids were toddlers and they would just refuse to let me go to the toilets alone. That solo trip was not allowed, even for 2 minutes, I always had that official little toilet posse. And now that they’re older and understand boundaries and are no longer standing on the other side of the door banging and rattling the handle while hysterically crying, I feel immense relief 🙂 Why would you want to stretch that experience for 18 years??? That’s just beyond me.
I just genuinely feel so bad for her kids. Emotionally and mentally I truly hope they end up landing ok because woo it’s been a lot.
Mom of 4 here and I don’t believe I’ve ever gone to the bathroom in front of any of my kids unless they were infants in a carrier at the airport and I literally had nothing else to do with them. I know we have always agreed that she is a whackadoodle, but she just continues to be more disturbed than we ever thought.
My sons still laugh over how my Dad would announce “Boys, I have to go do a job I can’t delegate.”
Ok this is the last straw with this bish….WTF? Forget making your husband do it, which is bad enough, but making your child go with you to the bathroom. She is pathetic beyond measure. She is forcing her kids into a parentification role. I truly feel for all of her kids. She and deadbeat Dean are terrible parents.
TMI, like, way TMI. Lady just take a book or your phone if you’re bored when you go to the toilets.
