It seems that the life of Aaron Spelling's famous daughter gets more and more complicated as she continues to make her way into reality television - recently, Tori Spelling's ex husband, Charlie Shanian, caused the actress to break down to tears.
The new reality show "True Tori" tells the story of the actress' struggles along with her husband as the couple goes through a rough time - when he admitted to having cheated on her. But now, as the show airs, Tori Spelling's ex came into the picture - and the actress looked positively devastated.
According to The Daily Mail, incident regarding Tori Spelling's ex was simply that she saw her first husband, Charlie Shanian, for the first time in almost a decade - and she remembered how she used to feel safe around him, in the midst of her troubled marriage with Dean McDermott.
The episode on Lifetime narrated the two sides of the story of the "Beverly Hills 90210" actress: on one hand, her therapy sessions with husband McDermott as the couple tries to get over a cheating scandal that went on last year; on the other hand, the meeting between Tori Spelling and ex, particularly difficult due to everything she's been going through for the past year or so.
The married couple is obviously going through a seriously bad moment, as reported by Hollywood Life. In the same episode that saw the freak-out incident with Tori Spelling's ex, she and McDermott got into a huge fight over baked potatoes - and that's not a metaphor, they actually started a fight because of baked microwave potatoes!
It seems that what pained the actress the most is that she regretted the way things had gone down with Tori Spelling's ex: her marriage to her first husband ended after she started an extra-marital affair with current husband Dean McDermott, with whom she has four children: two sons (Liam and Finn) and two daughters (Stella and Hattie).
The meeting between Tori Spelling and ex wasn't recorded for television (it seems that Charlie refused to be a part of the Lifetime show), but it obviously greatly affected the actress and former member of the "Beverly Hills 90210" team. She'd discussed the meeting with her therapist and McDermott beforehand, and had suffered bouts of migraines while waiting for the rendezvous to happen.
Once she got back home from her encounter with Charlie, McDermott asked her how it had gone and how she felt about it, which caused Tori to break into tears and admit she deeply regretted the way things had gone down between them, saying he was a "good man" and that she felt guilty over having cheated on him.
Calmly continuing to ask her about the meeting with Tori Spelling's ex, McDermott wondered if remembering that Charlie was a good man made her resent him more for cheating on her last year - and she said that it was indeed the case.
While the incident with Tori Spelling's ex last Tuesday is the last one to see news headlines with the couple, they've infamously gone through several bouts of fighting as they've tried to make up for past mistakes.
It's also not the first time they've gone through a meeting with exes, as in the premiere episode of "True Tori" had Spelling meeting up with Mary Jo Eustace, the first wife of Dean McDermott.
McDermott was still married to Eustace at the time he first started dating Spelling - in other words, both of them were married at the time they began going out. They married each other barely a month after their respective divorces had been finalized.
