Tori Spelling recently shared details of a heated argument that led to the dissolution of her 18-year marriage to Dean McDermott on her podcast “misSPELLING.” The argument was sparked by a hurtful remark made by McDermott towards Spelling, and Spelling recounted her reaction, which involved smashing a fully loaded baked potato from Wendy’s on the ground in a fit of anger. The couple had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for a few years at that point, and after the argument, McDermott declared that he wanted a divorce, making the split Instagram official before eventually deleting the post.
Although Spelling initially had a moment of remorse after the altercation, she also felt a sense of relief when McDermott publicly announced the separation on social media. She described feeling like a weight had been lifted off her chest and that she could now move on with her life. Following the public announcement, Spelling and McDermott continued as if nothing had happened, despite the official divorce filing that was recently obtained by ET. The couple, who shared five children together, had previously been open about their private lives, starring in their own reality TV series.
Spelling and McDermott had been married for 18 years before separating in June of last year. The argument that led to their divorce was reportedly the result of a remark made by McDermott that Spelling found particularly hurtful. After reacting by smashing a baked potato on the ground, Spelling locked herself in a bedroom, where McDermott eventually found her and declared that he wanted a divorce. While McDermott later deleted the post announcing their separation, the public nature of the announcement had a significant impact on Spelling and her family.
Despite the public nature of their split, Spelling expressed a sense of relief after McDermott’s announcement, feeling like she was finally free to move on with her life. While the couple continued to coexist as if nothing had changed after the announcement, the official divorce filing obtained last month marked the end of their 18-year marriage. Throughout their relationship, Spelling and McDermott had been known for being open about their private lives, sharing their experiences on their reality TV series. They share five children together, and the dissolution of their marriage marks the end of a significant chapter in both of their lives.
