Ms. Spelling cheated on her decent, kind, attractive husband, Charlie Shahnain, for the Canadian never-was actor wannabe billionaire goober named Dean McDermott. They met on the set of a crappy movie of the week in Canada, and started an affair right away. Dean was also married to a Canadian celebrity chef, Mary-Jo Eustace, who was more famous than he was in Canada, and they had a young son, and were in the process of adopting a daughter. Dean dumped them all for Tori, and he also disavowed the almost-adopted baby girl so he could go be "soulmates" with Tori. Tori dumped her husband for Dean.  Meanwhile, behind Tori's back, Dean talked shit about her constantly back in Canada to his friends, telling them she was ugly and stupid, but he finally had his "big shot", plus instant millions. Tori's father and mother learned all about this, plus they hated the fact Tori divorced her good husband, whom the absolutely adored, for a loser like Dean. Buh-bye inheritance. They didn't want Dean to get anything. So much for Dean's instant millions. They wanted to teach Tori a lesson at the same time about decency.  Yeah, I know way too much about those bozos. But in my defence, I have friends in the film industry in Toronto, and they shared this gossip.
