Tori Spelling Is Worried That Dean McDermott Is Airing All Their ‘Dirty Laundry’ Amid His Recovery

Messy mea culpa! Dean McDermott got real about the ugly end of his 17-year marriage to Tori Spelling. In a two-part, no-holds-barred interview, the 57-year-old detailed how he would regularly down pills and tequila and rant while his wife and five kids cowered in the next room. “My worst memory with Tori is that last fight when I was drunk and angry,” he said of a June 2023 row. “It was the night that I raged against her and the children, and I saw the light, the final flicker of the flame, go out in her eyes.”

Now that he’s sober (he’s battled boozing for 30 years), the Chopped Canada host is eager to own his bad behavior. His estranged wife, 50, on the other hand, is desperate for him to stop sharing the family’s story. “She wishes he could have found a way to move on without airing all this dirty laundry in such detail,” an insider exclusively tells In Touch. “There’s the children to consider — they’re old enough to read this stuff.” While both are currently dating — Tori is with ad exec Ryan Cramer; Dean has been seeing Lily Calo — they will always be tied by their kids. “Tori is pleased Dean is sober,” says the source. “She just hopes they can figure out an amicable coparenting agreement going forward.”
