Tori Targets Mom: Dad Didn't Have to Die So Soon - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 03-13-2008, 09:00 AM

Tori Spelling might be waist-deep into her own motherhood, but she's still hurling some nastiness her mom's way. In her new memoir, Stori Telling, Spelling claims that her mom's relationship with a male family friend led to an untimely death for her ill father, producer Aaron Spelling.

According to the New York Daily News, Spelling, who is estranged from her mom, Candy, says, "I don't think my father had to die so soon. [Candy's] relationship with Mark was disturbing, and I thought it had taken a toll on my father when his health was in jeopardy."

Spelling attacks her mother's approach not only to marriage but to motherhood, as well: "I wrote an e-mail [to Candy] saying... You should never have been the wife to a man so generous and loving," Spelling writes. "You never deserved him. You never deserved to have children like me and Randy. The greatest lesson you taught me is how not to be a mother and a wife."

Now I guess we learned where Tori picked up on the idea of cheating on one's spouse.

I thought they had worked out their differences after the birth of her first son, Liam.

I wish these two would work on their relationship as mother and daughter. It seems Candy was not a perfect mother. Tori could be mature abt it and seek help with or without her mother in therapy. I'd rather hear abt them working things out then to hear all this negative stuff.

Tori was interviewed last week and she said when she was a young girl she asked her mother if she was pretty. Candy told her, "When you get older you will need a nose job."

So sad.

If Tori is hoping to get back into her Mom's will, I doubt this is the right way to do it.

But that's just me.

I know nuthin about them fancy Hollywood folks.

All families have their skeletons but not everyone feels the need to advertise them.
If Tori thinks she is much better then her mother and her mother taught her not what to be as a mother and wife then she didnt teach her very well. Tori is not being any higher class then how she claims her mother is. Though Tori may be doing things different she is not doing things "better".
Tori and her now husband both left their spouses after cheating on them, Tori is printing out her families lives for all persons who choose to read, and Tori is failing to see that in such a way she is her mother all over.
Tori may not be telling her children the things her mother did such as needing a nose job or anything, but flatly telling the world how negative her relationship and strained her family life is, is not of a higher or positive class then the way she portrays her mother.
