I'll admit it...I watched True Tori

Full disclosure...I realize that by me even watching this show, I'm part of "the problem".

I didn't intend to watch Tori Spelling's new "reality" show, but I happened upon it after work one day last week and couldn't stop myself from watching.  I feel for her situation, but WHY would you do a tv show at this time?  Is this really in the best interest of you and your children?  I understand wanting to set the record straight, but then maybe write a book or something later on down the line.

A big part of the episode I watched was her crying about how difficult it is to raise her kids now that Dean's away.  I don't believe for a second that she doesn't have help of some form.  Whether it's a nanny to help with the kids, or a cook, housekeeper, whatever.  Somebody that takes some of the load off of her.  She said her kids haven't been to school on time since Dean left.  But I'd be willing to bet that they weren't frequently on time before either.  They tried to show all the chaos in her house because she's one her own now, but really it just looked like what I'd imagine a day in the house of a regular SAHM of 4 children would be like.

Anyone else watch or follow the drama?

Re: I'll admit it...I watched True Tori

  • I meant to watch it but haven't found the time. She's a hot mess. Dean is super gross. When I watched one of their old reality shows they had a full time nanny.

  • I haven't watched, but I'm so annoyed that Dean is hosting Chopped Canada.

  • I thought I remembered a nanny on her old show.  I'm sure they're still around, they just don't make a point of mentioning them.

    Now I read she just got out of the hospital.  You're right, she is a hot mess.

    I can't help but watch though.

  • I tend to think that their "problems" are all a big hoax, in order to keep their story relevant or interesting for TV purposes. I can't think of a single other reason for them to be doing a show about that stuff. 

    Of course, I did also read today that she was in the hospital for severe migraines, which I guess would/could be stress related? So maybe I'm totally off. If that's the case, I hope she's getting the help she needs!

  • Guilty. I can't help myself with reality TV sometimes. I've never been a fan of Dean though. He creeps me out!

  • 1. What are we talking about?

    2. Fill me in on said drama.
  • Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
    Dean had an affair and then checked himself into rehab.  Tori says there is too much misinformation out there so she's decided to "set the record straight" by doing another reality show documenting their "recovery" from his affair.  The show is being broadcast in almost real time (episodes air about 2-3 weeks after the events actually happen).  The first episode he wasn't out of rehab yet and she's struggling to raise their 4 children "on her own".
    I think that about covers it.

    Oh, there is also some speculation that they've made this whole thing up because they're completely broke and needed another tv show.

    Exactly what I was thinking!

  • I haven't watched it. Probably won't unless I just happen to catch it on one day. It makes me sad that someone would allow something so personal to be filmed though. I also think its stuff like this that is part of the problem... when other celebs complain about lack of privacy, I think it's partially because of stuff like this that they have no privacy. We, the viewers, are so used to "reality" tv shows starring them, that we feel like we are entitled to their most intimate moments. Yeah yeah, the argument can be made that they signed up for this by just being celebs, but still. It makes me sad because they're still real people with real feelings. It also makes me sad to think that Tori feels like she has to do something like this just to stay relevant or whatever she thinks it is.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
