   Still from Lifetime’s True Tori, when Tori Spelling breaks down as Dean McDermott admits to cheating on her

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott will open their personal life to the camera and discuss even the most private details on Lifetime’s new docuseries, True Tori, which premieres on April 22. This new show is just Tori’s way of humiliating Dean for cheating on her – and getting caught.

Word that Tori hadn’t agreed to do the show for money but out of revenge first surfaced online a couple of weeks ago; People magazine is now confirming it: she is doing this to teach Dean a lesson about what will happen if he ever cheats again.

“The decision to do this show is not coming from someone who is in a solid, good place. Tori is very, very upset and angry. It's just too raw and personal. There's too much pain and it's too private,” an insider reveals for the tab.

Dean is not a willing participant because he wants to work through their problems behind closed doors, not in front of a camera crew and, implicitly, millions of people at home, either in front of the TV or at their computer.

However, Tori has made it very clear to him that he doesn’t have a say in it: either he does this (and learns his lesson), or he’s out of the picture. Dean is determined to do whatever he can to keep Tori happy and to have her take him back, the insider says.

“A part of her wants to completely humiliate him and make him suffer in front of millions of people. She wants to have some sort of justice. She wants him to truly feel the pain of what he did to her,” adds the same tipster.
