Tori Spelling has broken her silence after file for divorce from husband Dean McDermott, 57 years old, on his new podcast, and revealed that he broke the devastating news halfway through recording.
The MISSPELLING host, 50, who filed for divorce from McDermott, 57, on Friday after 18 years of marriage, opened up about the negative thoughts that ran through her head on March 29.
The star called out Dean on her podcast and fans heard her speak to him on the phone and announce her decision to file for divorce.
She added that the introduction was a formality and added that she was upset that he had spoken publicly about their divorce, before awkwardly closing the call with ‘I love you’.
Elsewhere in the podcast, the star said: “I’ve never felt more alone.”
‘I don’t feel worthy of being loved. That’s the truth. And that’s something that’s just in you, it’s not something that I wanted or created,” she said, revealing that he experienced those feelings for a long time.
‘That starts when you’re young. (And change it), that’s not easy to do… I don’t know if it can be done.’
Tori Spelling broke her silence after filing for divorce from her husband Dean McDermott, 57, on her new podcast, revealing she broke the devastating news to him mid-taping.
The former Beverly Hills 90210 star then called her ex-husband and left him a message, informing him that she had started the procedure to dissolve their union.
‘There’s something strange I didn’t know before: you have to be careful with your ex. It’s a he-said, she-said, who introduced first,’ she explained.
‘I had to apply and go through the process and then once it was accepted and publicly posted, I can call and inform my ex. So I called Dean,” the Scary Movie 2 alum explained.
“He’s working and I have to tell him and I’m super nervous because I don’t like confrontation.”
Spelling went on to say that she wished she had taken the necessary steps to get divorced for ‘like…15 years.’
‘We always say, ‘Hey, it’s been 18 years.’ “It shouldn’t have been 18 years,” the High School Crimes and Misdemeanors star maintained, revealing that she had stayed to protect McDermott and her children.
And I think he’d say the same thing if he and I had a real heart-to-heart conversation. It would have been over much sooner.
The actress described the good and bad aspects of her 18-year marriage on her podcast MISSPELLING on March 29.
Spelling said that when she met McDermott in 2005 on the set of Mind Over Murder, they had a “period of rapid, passionate falling in love.”

There was an instant connection, even though they were both already married.
“We had this period of very, fast, passionate falling in love,” the actress said, describing it as a “fast and furious romance.”
She praised McDermott for letting her be herself. “I just remember she could show him.”

Their family grew quickly and the former couple became parents to Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, seven.
“Honestly, our relationship was never the same after we started having kids,” the single mom said.
“We always said, ‘We’re not going to be those parents who change. We’ll make sure to make our relationship a priority, the two of us. We have date nights.” And it all went out the window. I focused completely on the kids and kind of let it go.
While focusing on parenthood, the Izzy’s Way Home star said: “Our relationship definitely changed and I really felt like I was alone in this with the kids.”
And he was there, but he was an extra pair of hands. He put the car seat in because I didn’t know how to do it and things like that. Emotionally, it was. Like, “Etiquette, you are.” I was the father.’
The couple began supporting themselves through a series of reality shows beginning with Tori & Dean: Inn Love in 2007 in which they operated a bed and breakfast.
The star said: “It was a lot of responsibility and at the same time rebuilding a career, which I did.” We became a family brand. I went from being a rich Hollywood girl… to being a cool mom. “Look at her. She does everything.” Meanwhile, behind the scenes, everything was falling apart.”

‘He had a lot of those qualities. But… you know… We did our reality show and the first one was like, ‘Fun, fun.’ So anything bad that happened, fights or anything, they would edit it out,” he said of the process to protect the brand.
“I heard women everywhere say, ‘I wish I had a dean.'” And I said: ‘If you only knew…’
