I feel like I’m the only person on earth who watched every episode of Tori & Dean: Inn Love—which was the 2007 reality show where Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott attempted to open a bed and breakfast while Tori was 97 months pregnant with their first child—because every time I reference it and go up top for the high-five, I just get blank stares and/or pelted with rotten cabbage. But you guys! That show was SO GOOD! Tori and Dean are legit charming, and not in a smarmy reality TV way, and it really seems like they love each other and Dean doesn’t even care when she’s peeing herself all the time and they know that this B&B thing they’ve gotten themselves into is IDIOTIC but they (pretend to) try really sincerely anyway even though it’s obviously just a TV show and I just loved hanging out with them for some reason.
I stopped watching after season 2, I think, when the show was rebranded Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, so maybe I don’t count as a real fan, but I’m just telling you that I FELT THINGS.
Point is, I am very upset about this week’s Us Weekly cover, which alleges that Dean cheated on Tori with some Canadian person named Emily Goodhand (I guess he just wanted to see if she lived up to the hype!) who apparently then sold her story to Us Weekly.
While promoting his gig as host of Chopped Canada in Toronto on Dec. 6, McDermott invited 28-year-old Emily Goodhand, a woman he met that day through friends, to his room at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel — where they had sex, she tells Us. “He told me he and Tori had a sexless marriage,” says Goodhand, who stayed over at his hotel the following night too. “I believed him.”
And no, I will not be picking up a paper copy to find out “more details on McDermott’s affair — from their wild night together to how the affair could damage more than his marriage.”
