Tori Spelling’s very public divorce is attracting the attention of the ghosts of spouses past.
After the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 50, revealed to Dean McDermott during an episode of his MISSPELLING podcast that she had filed for divorce, his first wife, Mary Jo Eustace, came to his defense.
‘Desperate much? It’s just low, low, low,” Eustace said. Page six at the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center in West Hollywood. “It’s just not about how you conduct things.”
Spelling previously kicked off the premiere episode of her podcast with the announcement that she had just officially filed for divorce after 18 years of marriage.
Shortly after the news became public, she explained that she had to call McDermott, 57, to tell him herself, as she was advised not to say anything before applying.

‘Desperate much? It’s just low, low, low,” Eustace told Page Six. ‘It’s just not about how you conduct things.’
‘I hate doing this to you while you’re going to work and all that. They have done it,” she told him during the call as a “formality.”
She told him, “I feel like I deserve to apply first” after McDermott publicly revealed things she “never would have divulged” about their relationship.
The pair then went back and forth before she ended the call by telling him “I love you.”
“I’ve never felt more alone,” Spelling said with a laugh after the call. “In a room full of friends, doing a podcast… I’ve never felt more alone in 50 years.”
Eustace, 61, also called Spelling “so thirsty” for criticizing Andy Cohen for refusing to cast her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
McDermott was married to Eustace from 1993 to 2006 and they share a son, Jack Montgomery, 25.
The couple divorced after he had an affair with Spelling, whom he married shortly after.
Spelling and McDermott share Liam Aaron, 17, Stella Doreen, 15, Hattie Margaret, 12, Finn Davey, 11, and Beau Dean, 7.
Following his infidelity and a series of marital problems, McDermott announced their separation on Instagram in June 2023. He deleted the post shortly after.

McDermott said last month that he and Spelling “are good,” adding that the divorce was “a long time coming.”
Spelling has since admitted in a spelling mistake that she feels “guilty” for making McDermott “feel emasculated” while discussing the divorce with her longtime friend and former 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty.
“One of my biggest fears, and this maybe made me stay longer, is that I feel like in our world it’s hard to be with a man and not have him feel emasculated,” she said.
‘Not because of our actions, but because of who we are and how we have been labeled by society.
‘We are not just women who make money, we are women who have power, we are women who have fame, I don’t know anything different. “I feel guilty,” Spelling added.
