Late last week, Dean McDermott was papped several times on the same day. He pumped gas, ate lunch, bought groceries, paid attention to his son, and did a Reservoir Dogs-style slo-mo walk for the paps. And they clicked away! I don’t get it, it’s like Hilary Duff is his spirit animal. Tori Spelling seems more papworthy than Dean … even though they’ve both got photo agencies on speed dial.

There’s a bunch of new Spelling-McDermott gossip. First up is a long-lost court document (from Radar) that was filed by Dean’s first wife, Mary Jo Eustace, in 2005. Radar frames the doc as being highly damaging to Tori’s rep, but this is all about Dean and his alleged drug addictions and cruelty against animals. This was part of Mary Jo’s divorce case against Dean. I have to wonder about the source and why Radar received this doc now. It must be from camp Tori:

According to court documents exclusively obtained by Radar, McDermott’s first wife, Mary Jo Eustace, previously accused him of cocaine use, out-of-control spending, anger issues and even brutally beating his own dog!

McDermott infamously dumped Eustace after meeting Spelling during a television movie shoot in 2005 and immediately beginning an affair — despite the fact that both were married at the time.

Both couples eventually divorced, and in a sworn declaration filed by Eustace after the split, she rips the lid off of her life with McDermott long before Spelling was on the scene. According to Eustace’s sworn 2005 declaration, she said, “In March 1999, I went to my parents for a family gathering with Jack [her son with McDermott, who was an infant at the time.]”

She claimed McDermott “missed the gathering because he didn’t feel well. During the course of the event, Dean McDermott walked into the living room, threw a bag of cocaine on the table and said, ‘I have a cocaine problem .'”

“I called a friend who had a cocaine addiction, who helped Dean McDermott get into a support group,” she continued. “Dean McDermott committed to the support group and controlling his addiction to cocaine … for a while.”

After returning to their Canadian home after a trip in April 1999 with Jack, Eustace revealed, “When I returned home from the airport, all of the doors and windows were open. My immediate thought was that there had been some type of party at the house and Dean McDermott was attempting to air out the house. Dean McDermott told me he had started using cocaine again and that he had a party at the house while I was away … At the time, Dean McDermott told me he was attending ALANON through the spring of 1999 and that he had stopped using cocaine during that time.”

Among the other shocking revelations in Mary Jo’s declaration, she said, “During our marriage, I have been required to control our finances as a result of Dean McDermott’s serious impulsive spending issues and lack of responsibility in connection with payment of taxes and other financial commitments.”

Regarding McDermott’s parental skills she claimed, “There are many examples of Dean McDermott’s lack of patience in parenting Jack which I will set forth in further detail at a later time.”

Like Spelling has done on her show, Eustace admitted to ignoring “the red flags” in her relationship with McDermott. At the “end of our first date,” she said in the documents, “I noted [his] awful temper. We had a lunch date, and afterwards went to his house in Toronto to feed his dog. The dog had gotten into the garbage. Dean McDermott repeatedly and violently beat the dog with his fists and with a rolled up magazine. Dean McDermott was furious and it was very intimidating incident for me to witness.”

Ugh. Not only is Dean an alleged coke addict and adulterer, but now we’re hearing details about how he beat his dog. This guy has absolutely no redeeming qualities, does he? I can’t think of a single one, and I don’t know why both Mary Jo and Tori married him despite the noted “red flags.”

Let’s finish with some bullet points:

* Hollywood Reporter says True Tori is an innovative reality show. They’re not reviewing the program. They’re only saying that it’s a quick turnaround for Lifetime. Episodes are filmed less than three weeks before they air.

* Dean begged Tori not to film their anniversary last week, but she told him to stuff it. Dean was “disappointed” with Tori’s attitude.

* Dean took a flight out of LA on Saturday. At the airport, he and Tori made out for the cameras and ended with “a tender kiss” in front of their four children. Gross.

* The most recent episode of True Tori features Dean justifying his adultery. He claims that Tori wouldn’t sleep with him the night before he left for Canada (last December). He was so sad and felt so fat (250 pounds, he says) and so “hurt” by rejection. Tori screamed, “We didn’t have sex, so that is why you went and f—ed some woman?! Two weekends in a row we did things that I had never done before because you wanted it, you kept wanting to raise the bar.” OMG, brain bleach.

Here’s a pic of Mary Jo in 2010. What did she see in Dean?
