Tori Spelling, facing what appears to be a longtime difficulty maintaining her finances, had money seized from her bank account recently, as US Weekly reports. Prior to the ruling from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in April, the actress’s debts to American Express grew to nearly $90,000. The press has fixated on Spelling and husband Dean McDermott’s money issues since at least 2016, when the credit card company filed a lawsuit against the couple, ordering Spelling to pay back what she owed. (“Fucking move on,” Scotto once said, noting it was “so unclassy” to ask about a celebrity couple’s financial issues.)
In any case, more recently, Spelling faced a bit of backlash when she charged fans $95 for a virtual meet-and-greet during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Jezebel salutes Spelling for her entrepreneurial spirit, but wonders whether it might be more in her personal interest to use her platform to advocate for the cancellation of all debt.
