14 DAY TRIAL // Tori Spelling is currently in the hospital, after her health took a turn for the worse because she’s been stressing herself out with the ongoing drama in her marriage, caused by husband Dean McDermott’s infidelity of one year ago.
While she’s recovering there – and presumably NOT getting any visits from Dean, because they’re not speaking right now – Lifetime is still airing the second season of their reality show, True Tori.
A new trailer has dropped, and if you had doubts before, it should confirm to you that, indeed, these two can fight over just about anything.
The baked potato that broke the camel’s back
You will find the new video embedded below. The scene starts like a normal evening at home, with Tori and Dean preparing dinner for themselves and their 4 children, but in the space of only a couple of minutes, things take a turn for the disastrous.
And smack at the middle of everything is a baked potato, which Tori thought Dean cooked because he wanted to prove to her that he was better at it than her.
Cooking squabbles aside, the trailer is meant to show that, despite the fact that Tori agreed to stay married to Dean after he cheated on her, they still have major issues. The trust is gone and so is the good communication they once had, so fights start from the stupidest things these days.
To further highlight that, the video ends with Dean asking Tori why she’s still married to him if she really can’t stand him anymore, to which she replies that she doesn’t even know anymore. In voiceover, she admits that married women have a harder time walking away from a bad marriage if children are involved, and she is convinced that many women would agree with her.
Tori and Dean, one year of capitalizing from the cheating scandal
Before Christmas last year, rumors started making the rounds that Dean was sleeping around on Tori, which, if you ever kept an eye out for celebrity gossip, you know wasn’t new. Things changed when a woman named Emily Goodhand (not since or heard of since) stepped forward to claim in just one interview that she had had a 2-night affair with Dean.
She provided plenty of details in it to get the scandal going: Dean had told her that his marriage was over, he’d gotten drunk and drugged out of his mind during what she described as a bender, and he spoke against Tori as a selfish, cold-hearted woman who could not understand him anymore.
Then, Goodhand slipped off the face of the earth completely.
By then, Tori had found out about the whole thing, but she said nothing for a few more months, while she brokered a deal with Lifetime for a docuseries to document the fallout from the scandal. Once the deal was secured, she confirmed the cheating story in the announcement for her show.
Earlier this month, a second season of True Tori started airing, even though the first one was somehow underwhelming in the ratings and despite the fact that it was supposed to be a one-time thing. With it, Tori and Dean marked one full year of capitalizing on the cheating scandal, whether staged or not.
And here’s what they have to do to keep the money coming in:
