OK! Exclusive: Tori Spelling Takes the High Road in Feud with Mom

Tori SpellingRefreshed from a recent trip to the Four Season’s Puta Mita Resort in Mexico, Tori Spelling, accompanied by hubby Dean McDermott, opened up to OK! about her delicate relationship with estranged mother Candy Spelling in an exclusive interview.

“I definitely want to reconcile with my mother, but that’s the wrong word,” Tori confessed to OK!. “There’s nothing that really happened that made us fight. It’s just time, distance and media that have come between my mom and me.”

Speaking to OK! at the grand opening of A Hollywood Spectacle earlier this week, Tori explained, “I just think that as long as we both keep it private from here on out, reconciliation is imminent. It will totally happen and I hope that she wants that.”

Candy claimed to have e-mailed prior to missing Stella’s first birthday party, but Tori was almost brought to tears as she discussed how she holds out hope for her mom to come around for her own children.

“I am proud of my kids, but I also want to make my mom proud of me. I’m still a momma’s girl at the heart of the situation,” Tori dished to OK!. “I look forward to the relationship that Liam and Stella will have with their grandmother one day and I’m confident that it will happen.”

And if Candy calling her daughter a “middle-aged woman” was meant as a put-down, Tori doesn’t seem to be taking the comment too seriously. “When you’re in your twenties, you can still wear things like this and then I become a mother of two and wear these six-inch Fendi heels and I’m falling all over the place,” she joked to OK!.

All kidding aside, husband Dean spoke candidly about his own relationship with his now-deceased father and how he can relate to his wife’s heartbreaking situation.

“I know the hurt because I have gone through it,” Dean revealed. “I know what it’s like to hold out hope and for it to not pan out and to get your feelings hurt again and again. After a while, at the end of the day, you really have to protect yourself and see that it’s not healthy for us… Your family can cause you a lot of pain and heartache.”

The Discussion

    I hope all works well for them. Tori seems determined to make it work, and hopefully, it’s the right decision for all. She’s so right! The media has done so much damage, as usual.

  2. Denise says:

    I hope Candy can see that Tori is trying very hard to bring her children up in a very loving home and trying to have as much family around as she can.

    I wish Tori and her family the best.

  4. Sue says:

    I love Tori’s two biography books, they’re fabulous and so is her family!

    Love the Tori & Dean whole idea and their children. Who cares about her mother, she is weird to even have a name Candy. Oh please she needs to grow up and smell the coffee. Her age is up and she thinks living past a hundred is possible as long as Candy sounds cute.

    Sorry no offense, never liked her mother. I liked her dad very much and her present family and friends. I know sounds like I personally know them. But the thing is they have nothing to hide and thats so real. It actually is soo cool.

    Life is short, no time to waste is my philosphy.

    Yeah, Dean must have put his “first” family through a lot when he carried on with Tori….I don’t really think either of them cares about anyone but themselves.

    What tori fails to understand is that her mother is a bitter old HAG. All the cosmetic surgery in the world and we know that she can afford it will not buy her a soul that’s what she lacks. she can fix the outside but it takes god to do the inside and she is not willing to go that route yes, instead she spends all of her miserable life trying to be a celebrity. but celebrity at what being a mother? well we know that she is not that have never being, so she never will. So what is she doing now trying to peck, peck, peck at her daughter like a CROW going after dead meat. Tori just have to ignore her and hopefully one day she will go away. But for now she is getting what she wants, the TV camera is on her.
