In an television interview with 20/20, Tori Spelling revealed her huge credit card problem - hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. Despite the fact that Daddy Aaron Spelling was the richest television producer in history, and that he was worth billions at the time of his death, she never once asked him to bail her out.
“I had a hit TV series, so I didn’t really need [my
parents] for anything,” she said. All that changed when “90210″ went
off the air. Spelling says that at one point she owed hundreds of
thousands of dollars on her credit card and that she came close to bankruptcy, all because of her “bad shopping habits.”
“Bad shopping habits die hard,” she explained. “In all honesty, I
grew up a certain way. I never had to worry about money … that was my
reality.”
She says she was too proud to go to her father for help. “That
means, in my mind, [that] I was what everyone thought I was, taking
money from my dad, the rich little girl that he paid for everything.
And I just refused to be that. [I would] rather be bankrupt.”
This and other interviews are a part of her memoir, "sTori Telling" which seems to be interesting. It's well written from what I've read. Check out an excerpt on line here.
