AceShowbiz - Tori Spelling isn't happy with what Dean McDermott said in his recent interview. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" star was allegedly "hurt" and "upset" after her estranged husband claimed that he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs when he announced their split earlier this year.
"Tori is a little hurt and upset by Dean's recent tell-all type of interview," a source told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, November 16. While "[Tori] recognizes that Dean spoke about her in a relatively positive light," the source noted that "she feels protective over her children."
The 50-year-old star especially wanted to protect Stella, "who is old enough to know what's going on and reads and hears about these types of things." In addition to the 15-year-old, the former couple shares Liam, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 6. The Canadian actor also has Jack, 24, from his first marriage to Mary Jo Eustace.
According to the insider, Tori "is trying to stay positive and keep things afloat for her family." She also allegedly refused to "let Dean's words impact her too much."
In his interview with Daily Mail, Dean, who is currently working on himself in a sober home, put the blame on himself while discussing the end of his 17-year marriage to Tori. He admitted that he posted a split announcement on his Instagram account back in June when he was under the influence. "It wasn't the right way to do it, but it got people's attention. The people I needed it to. It fell in the ears of people I wanted it to fall into," the actor, who deleted the post once he sobered up, went on sharing.
"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. I'm taking accountability for that today. And it's the biggest amend that I'm ever going to have to make… It's going to be living the rest of my life making amends because I took something that was really beautiful and I just tore it down year after year, day after day," he added.
Following their split, both Dean and Tori have moved on with their respective new partners. Dean is rumored to be dating actress Lily Calo, while Tori sparks romance rumors with ad executive Ryan Cramer.
