In his candid interview with the Daily Mail, Dean McDermott opened up about his struggles with addiction and acknowledged that he fell short as a husband to Tori Spelling. The actor, known for his role in “My Fake Boyfriend,” said, “All Tori’s ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy, and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman.”
McDermott disclosed that his violent behavior was mostly fueled by a mix of tequila and different types of medications, causing distress and fear for Spelling and their five underage children, which is what he regrets most. “That’s what led to the brokenness and to what happened between me and Tori,” McDermott said. He shared that his mental health was affected by financial difficulties and relentless paparazzi attention, rousing his addiction. Interestingly, McDermott’s now-deleted divorce announcement from June 2023 was a result of one of his intoxicated rampages.
Furthermore, a Daily Mail source claimed that Spelling had grown frustrated with McDermott for not fulfilling his responsibilities in terms of finances and parenting. According to the unnamed insider, Spelling felt like a single mother to their five children as well as the breadwinner in the family.
