Tori Spelling Confronted Over 'Borderline Hoarder' Home on Podcast
In a revealing episode of her podcast misSPELLING, actress Tori Spelling faced candid criticism from co-host Amy Sugarman, who described Spelling's living situation as a "borderline hoarder" environment. The conversation, which aired on Friday, comes as Spelling, 52, shared details of a recent illness that debilitated her for eight weeks and forced her to stop working.
Health Struggles and Home Chaos Intertwined
While Spelling focused on how sick she had been, Sugarman did not hold back, suggesting that Spelling's "disorganized" lifestyle could be a significant factor in her recurring health issues. Spelling admitted to feeling overwhelmed as a single mother to five children following her split from ex-husband Dean McDermott, which has contributed to the chaotic state of her home.
Sugarman pointed out that Spelling's living room had turned into what the actress called her "gifting suite," with piles of items making it unusable. After seeing a photo, Sugarman expressed alarm, noting that Spelling's Christmas tree was still up and the room was so cluttered that "you can't even sit in there."
Uncomfortable Truths and Professional Impact
Sugarman doubled down on her assessment, stating that Spelling currently has "400 stacks of s— in the house right now" and emphasizing that this is a serious problem. Spelling did not deny the accusations, admitting, "Yeah, it's all just sitting here in piles." She also confessed that the situation has affected her social life and professional image, to the point where she would not take a meeting at her home even if the president of iHeartRadio wanted to visit.
Spelling insisted that the living room was the worst area, but acknowledged that things have spiraled since her divorce. She recalled that when she was still married to McDermott, the house was "presentable" because he would not tolerate such disarray, and she had help maintaining order.
Background on Spelling's Personal Life
Spelling and McDermott, 59, share five children: Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 8. The couple split in June 2023 after nearly 18 years of marriage. Court documents from their divorce revealed in November that they owe more than $1.7 million in unpaid federal and state taxes, adding financial strain to Spelling's challenges.
Sugarman concluded by urging Spelling to seek help, linking the home chaos to her inability to work for two months. This episode highlights the intersection of personal struggles, health, and public life for the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, offering a raw glimpse into the realities behind the celebrity facade.
