She revealed that she received a shocking surprise one morning when her young son Beau, seven, showed her the Elf on the Shelf exhibit.

“I walk into the kitchen and the elves are there and there’s a pornographic massacre there,” the actress said.
‘All the elves were doing various things to each other. Mouths in different areas, mouths where they shouldn’t be. Some were upside down, all over the place.

“There were meat sticks and cheese sticks… involved in this and there was some ranch dressing (and oil),” Tori explained.
Tori’s 17-year-old son Liam was behind the raunchy display, calling him an “asshole” and admitting he found it “funny.”
Tori had to suppress her laughter around her seven-year-old son and asked Liam to calm her down with the X-rated displays.
“While I was laughing internally (and that was really fun) and taking pictures and sending them to all my friends, I was thinking, ‘You’ve got to cut down on the mess.'”
That didn’t deter him and soon after she found the Elf in another compromising position.
“The elves were all in a circle (surrounding the reindeer) and I was like, ‘Oh man, Liam, you’re an idiot,'” he said.
In addition to Liam and Beau, Spelling shares son Finn, 12, and daughters Stella, 16, and Hattie, 13, with her second ex-husband, Dean McDermott, 58.
The Elf on the Shelf incident comes after Tori admitted to having a lot of “mom guilt” over the fact that her and her children’s lives are not stable.

During a previous episode of her MisSpellng podcast, Tori explained that she had been working hard on a project for months.
She asked her children to help her around the house and feels bad because most of that work falls solely on her 16-year-old daughter Stella.
“When I work and I’m away all day, it’s largely up to my 16-year-old son to supervise the family,” she said. “I feel very guilty when I get home at the end of the day.”
“People have babysitters, babysitters, housekeepers or things like that, but it’s just us; I know it’s probably very hard for the public to understand that, but it’s true.”
Her guest that day was Dr. Hillary Goldsher, a psychotherapist in Beverly Hills, and Tori exposed her mother’s guilt to the licensed professional.
‘As a father, financially, work was really stable for quite a while. I had multiple shows and multiple product lines and brands and I was just a workhorse in an empire.”
‘That’s when I had four of my children and they couldn’t see a different side. They were able to have a certain life that I provided for them through work and suddenly things weren’t stable.’
But now, due to the ups and downs of his entertainment career, his income is “not financially consistent or stable.”
‘With five children, I feel sorry. I constantly disappoint them because my life is not stable. “Their lives are not stable,” he said.
I can give love in abundance, but unfortunately they are with me on this roller coaster.’

“I’m so used to getting seemingly harsh answers in my life, no matter what,” the Scary Movie 2 actress said.
‘They are on this journey with me and I can’t hide things from them. I have kids who are old enough to read things online. They read what is false, but they read what is semi-exact and they read what is true.
“And I’m not saying poor me, here I am defending myself again, but I feel like ever since my soon-to-be ex-husband and I split up, it’s been fight or flight.”
“He’s been consistent with five kids,” the Dancing with the Stars alum continued. “And whether it’s emotionally, physically or financially, we’ve just been moving forward.”
“When life keeps serving you things, unexpected things, on a daily basis, you think, ‘Oh, I’m over that.'” And then you have a plan, suddenly, boom. And it’s day to day.”
