Tori Spelling made her Dancing With The Stars debut on Tuesday’s season 33 premiere, but the Beverly Hills, 90210 star was hit by a wave of trolls who mocked her appearance on social media.
Cruel online trolls mocked the actress and reality star’s puffy features, while others criticised her for her thin appearance.
But Tori, who worked with professional dancer Pasha Pashkov, also had an army of loyal followers who came to her defence.
In addition to those who criticized her humiliating body, several of her most devoted fans were upset by Tori’s mediocre score on the night, as they thought she did a better job than several of her higher-scoring competitors.
Several online trolls unfavorably compared the 51-year-old actress to blonde Muppet Janice.
Tori Spelling made her Dancing With The Stars debut on Tuesday’s season 33 premiere, but the Beverly Hills, 90210 star was hit by a wave of trolls who mocked her appearance on social media.
Cruel online trolls mocked the actress and reality star’s puffy features, while others criticised her for her thin appearance, but she also had a wave of defenders come to her rescue on social media.
“I love Tori Spelling on DWT this season!” one user sarcastically wrote on X (formerly Twitter) while including a photo of the hippie Muppet singer.
Commentators seemed to be paying attention to the puppet’s exaggerated lips.
Another cruel puppet-themed post featured a puppet representing a teenage fast food worker from the Nickelodeon series Mr. Meaty, who also had bulbous lips.
“Listen, I’m all for people doing whatever they want to feel their best, but Tori Spelling looks like Mr. Meaty,” another user wrote.
Some viewers complained about Tori’s alleged plastic surgery or use of fillers.
“Tori Spelling might as well be 87% plastic by now,” one troll joked.
Another troll who also compared Tori to the Muppet Janice went further and said she looked like “the cryptkeeper’s wife.”
One cruel commenter who didn’t even have the courage to say anything simply posted a gif of Steve Carell’s anguished grimace from The Office and captioned it: “Tori Spelling.”
It wasn’t just Tori’s face, but also her body that was the target of some of the nastiest trolls.

She showed off a particularly slim figure on the dance floor with Pasha, and Tori also showed off her slim but muscular arms and taut abs during practices leading up to the season premiere.
Among the malicious comments was one that said that she “desperately needs to eat… A LOT!”, to which the user added a surprised emoji and a skull.
But the trolls’ cruelty was matched by the vociferous defenses of Tori’s biggest fans.
One person stated: “If Tori Spelling has ten fans, then I’m one of them. If Tori Spelling has only one fan, then that’s me.”
They went further and added: “If Tori Spelling doesn’t have any fans, that means I’m no longer in this world. If the world is against Tori Spelling, then I’m against the world.”
It wasn’t just Tori’s face, but also her body that was targeted by some of the nastiest trolls after she showed off a particularly skinny figure.
