Tori Spelling ‘Living in the Red’ Amid Fears the Mom of Five Is ‘Cracking’ Under Financial Pressure
Tori Spelling abruptly pulled out of a long-planned Las Vegas gig last month, causing alarmed pals to fear for the well-being of the stressed-out star, sources say.
“This is not like Tori at all. Anyone who knows her knows how serious things have to be for her to miss anything work-related,” an insider confides.
Days before the ’90s After Dark Party that Tori was set to cohost with fellow Beverly Hills, 90210 castmate Brian Austin Green, the 52-year-old divorced mom of five announced she’d be a no-show, citing health concerns.
The So Notorious alum — who in October finalized her divorce from Dean McDermott, with whom she shares Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 8 — assured fans she was fine and simply needed to “listen to her body.” But insiders suggest the situation is far more serious.
“She’s carrying so much on her shoulders right now — between money worries, raising the kids on her own, the lack of steady acting work and everything that’s still unresolved with Dean. It’s all become too much. She’s completely exhausted, and it’s clearly affecting her health,” the insider explains.
According to the insider, on top of the emotional pain of her 18-year marriage ending, financial pressures are “never far from her mind.”
Court records show that she and Dean, 59, racked up more than $1.7 million in tax bills and faced lawsuits over unpaid credit cards and personal loans.
The millions Tori earned during her small-screen heyday — and the $800,000 inheritance from her late TV titan dad, Aaron Spelling — are “long gone,” and she’s scrambling to stay afloat, the insider whispers.
“She’s constantly living in the red, and she has been for years,” the source shares.
As Globe readers know, Tori’s mega-rich mom, Candy Spelling, 80, is worth a reported $600 million.
The insider says, “Candy could bail her out in a heartbeat, but she won’t do it. It’s got to be tough for Tori to know her mom could ease all this stress and just chooses not to.”
“Tori is cracking under the weight of everything she’s dealing with.”
