Confronting Long-Standing Speculation
Tori Spelling, the actress known for her role in "Beverly Hills, 90210," recently addressed persistent rumors regarding her plastic surgery history during an episode of her podcast "MisSpelling" with Dr. Terry Dubrow. Spelling, 52, described the speculation as "horrific," noting that it has affected her since she was a teenager. She recalled that tabloids first claimed she had undergone multiple surgeries when she was just 17 years old, shortly after her rise to fame. The actress clarified that while she has had a nose job, the claims of chin and cheek implants were unfounded.
Impact of Body Image Scrutiny
Spelling expressed that the relentless scrutiny of her appearance has been emotionally taxing. She stated, "At 17, it crushed my whole soul," reflecting on how the negative comments have lingered throughout her life. The actress admitted that even now, as she approaches her 53rd birthday, she feels hurt by online commentary about her looks. "I purposely go the other way because everyone says — every photo I put up, people say, ‘Stop with the filler!’" she explained, indicating that the pressure to conform to beauty standards has influenced her choices.
Personal Experiences with Cosmetic Procedures
In her candid discussion, Spelling also shared her experiences with cosmetic procedures, including breast implants, which she received in her early twenties. She described the process as confusing and regrettable, stating, "I got my boobs done in my early 20s, and if I had known it would or could possibly impact production of [breast] milk, I would never have had them done." Spelling humorously noted that she had undergone the procedure multiple times, saying, "Third time will be the charm," while reflecting on her desire to downsize her implants.
Criticism and Body-Shaming
The scrutiny Spelling faces extends beyond her own body to her children with Dean McDermott. She has publicly defended her children against body-shaming comments, emphasizing the negative impact of such remarks. In response to criticism about her children's appearances, she stated, "For all the individuals on here that felt the need to #momshame and #kidshame me and my children I say ‘Shame on you!’"
Official Statements & Responses
Spelling typically refrains from responding to unfounded rumors but admitted that she occasionally feels compelled to clarify the truth. "I find myself sometimes, though, being like, ‘No! it’s not true! Have I had filler in the past? Yes — I don’t have filler right now. I have Botox,'" she noted, highlighting the difficulty of navigating public perception.
