[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t think of candy spelling without thinking about how horrible was she treated Tori spelling.

I know Tori has gone through her ups and downs and needed to be limited in terms of what kind of money she would get, but Candy basically had Tori on some tight ass allowance and cut her off from the vast majority of family’s money. That’s partly why she stayed with that horrible ex-husband of her Dean for so long. And tried to please him by having five kids with him. And that’s why she did so much reality television a few years ago.

Candy’s ugly on the inside too. [/quote]

Oh please. Tori is an adult and her dad left her close to a million dollars. Her mother paid her rent and private school for the kids. Tori had a major spending issue and blew through any money she had. I remember reading once about how spending 100k in one shopping trip wasn’t uncommon for her. She is an adult and capable of being responsible and not needing an allowance at all. She made her own decisions and her own choices in life. And the consequences are all on her. [/quote]

+1 I agree. Tori is not entitled to her parents’ fortune. No one is. Parents can decide to do whatever they want with their money.[/quote]

It’s a little different to inherent $800k when your parents net worth is 1/2 a billion dollars and your parents at one point had the largest house in California. She should never have to work, and it’s both Aaron and Candy’s fault that they never made it clear to her that she wasn’t getting any real inheritance or support. I mean, she was on her father’s tv show as a teen and young woman. What’s she supposed to do, strike out on her own and get some stupid $50k or $100k a year job?

I mean, my net worth is $2M, proportionally that’s like me leaving my kids $4,000.

Candy sux and frankly so does Aaron. I do blame them. [/quote]

I think Tori also bears responsibility at this point. I also have really immature, crappy parents, and at some point you have to just recognize this is the hand you were dealt and then do the hard work to parent yourself and do right by yourself and your own kids.

However, yes, it's very clear they were awful parents and it's not exactly surprising she has so little personal resilience. What they actually should have done is make sure that the money she made on 90210 was intelligently invested and taught her financial smarts and how a rich person can turn the money they have into more money without ever having to get a regular job. Instead Tori learned to burn through money fast and was taught to sell herself in order to get more money, which actually worked okay for a time between her book, reality show, endorsements, etc. But now she's middle aged and has little to no star power and that isn't cutting it.

She should have developed some self awareness along the way to help her figure it out and it's sad she hasn't. They did wrong by her but she's also done wrong by herself.

At least she can probably have a good laugh about this ridiculous "photo" of her mom. I bet she's enjoying reading the online commentary making fun of Candy.[/quote]
