Tori Spelling says Dean McDermott’s comment prior to divorce filing made her release ‘guttural scream’

Tori Spelling is revealing more about her breaking point in her marriage to Dean McDermott.

She previously stated on her new podcast, "missSPELLING," that the "final blow" came last year after an argument in their kitchen while McDermott was drunk. 

"He said, 'Ugh, I'm so sick of this. I have been picking up Tori Spelling's s--- for 18 years.' And I f---ing lost it," Spelling recalled.

Picking up right where she left off in the new episode, Spelling said, "This guttural scream came out of me…it was beast-like, it wasn’t pretty at all…I was like f--- you!"

The argument continued, and according to Spelling, McDermott told her he wanted a divorce. He had "threatened it a million times," she noted, but she said "fine."

Spelling admitted she thought it was just another fight, but "all of a sudden, it was on Instagram."

Both she and their daughter, Stella, asked McDermott to remove the post, which he did the next day, but the public damage was done. 

"What made it worse was I didn’t comment," Spelling noted.

The fight occurred on a Friday, and the following Monday, Spelling and her children were out of the house, which she had previously discussed having a mold problem, and she helped McDermott find a rehab.

"He’s been sober since June 2023, and I’m very proud of him. We’ve been down this road before, no one really publicly knew, and I hope for him and the kids, that it sticks. I really do," she said.

The couple married in 2006 and have five children together: Liam, Finn, Beau, Stella and Hattie. 

In the divorce filing documents, the date of separation for the couple is listed as June 17, 2023, close to the same day McDermott shared a now-deleted Instagram post announcing their separation. 

When asked by a friend on the show if she would reconsider her relationship with McDermott now that he is sober, Spelling was not sure.

"I'm not gonna lie, there are moments where I'm like, 'Should I have stayed?' What are the long-term ramifications on the children of staying in a marriage where they have a family, they're in the same house, it's all in tact, you move fluidly, but there's so much unhappiness, so much anger?'" the mom of five said. "At what point is it worth it to have to go through that process where they're separated and they go see different parents? I don't know. I didn't know the answer to that until I was in it."

"Dean is a very good looking man. That has never changed. I think there was just so much resentment that was built up that I couldn't go back to that," Spelling added later.

The actress also shared her theories about how deeply having children impacts a relationship.

"I don't know if I believe that everyone should end up with the person they have kids with. I just don't know if it's ultimately possible," the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum said.

She noted that it is human to create and "it comes out of love" to create a family, but having kids "breaks a relationship."

"It's my belief now we have two soulmates or two partners we're supposed to have -- one for that chapter and one for our chapter, where it becomes about us."

"Any partner I have now, I’m sure I’ll look at them if they have kids and be like wow, I couldn’t have had kids with you, it would have just ruined what we have," she added.

Since their separation in June, Spelling has been spotted sharing a kiss with advertising executive Ryan Cramer, and McDermott has been spending time with his new girlfriend, Lily Calo.

"We do now have family dinners with Dean and his girlfriend," Spelling shared. "I like her a lot. I like Lily a lot. It's not bad, it’s just different." 

As for the divorce filing, Spelling hopes it is "amicable."

"We’re co-parenting very well right now. The kids see him again, and they’re happy with his progress and the work he’s done on himself, and they’re proud of him, and we like his girlfriend, and we all co-parent together."

She continued, "You hope it works out like that, you always hope that. I don’t know, I don’t know what’s going to happen now because it’s out of our hands and it’s going to be with lawyers and courts and I think they’re not quite always used to things not getting messy with celebrities. I don’t think either of us want it to get messy. Life’s messy."

In the divorce filing documents, Spelling is requesting spousal support, while denying offering spousal support to McDermott. She also requested full physical custody and joint legal custody, with visitation rights for McDermott.
