Tori Spelling is opening up about<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tori-spelling-files-divorce-dean-mcdermott-18-year-marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> her divorce from her husband</a> of 18 years, Dean McDermott.On Friday, Fox News Digital confirmed that Spelling had filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the grounds to dissolve her union with McDermott. Spelling filed first, and on her new podcast, "missSPELLING," she began to process the intense change to her life."So, I just filed for divorce," she says in the opening moments of the show, taking a deep breath. "I just filed for divorce, whoa. I said the words that I’ve said in my head for like 16 years…wild."<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/candy-spelling-calls-tori-spelling-survivor-after-marriage-breakdown-hospitalization-moldy-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CANDY SPELLING CALLS TORI SPELLING ‘SURVIVOR’ AFTER MARRIAGE BREAKDOWN, HOSPITALIZATION AND MOLDY HOUSE</a>As she discusses her and McDermott’s relationship, she also called him to inform him the news of their divorce had gone public. During the podcast, McDermott calls back, but only Spelling’s side of the conversation is heard. It’s clear they’re speaking about the optics of her filing first, and she explains why she did so to him and listeners."I feel like I deserve to file first, then. You basically put it all out there with the Daily Mail. You said everything that you've done to me all through the years. So I think it would make perfect sense that it's followed up with I would file. Because those are things that I would never have divulged to somebody, and you did." <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tori-spelling-financial-struggles-dean-mcdermott-blames-candy-spelling-90210-star-falls-hard-times" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TORI SPELLING FINANCIAL STRUGGLES: DEAN MCDERMOTT BLAMES CANDY SPELLING AFTER '90210' STAR FALLS ON HARD TIMES</a>Spelling referred to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dean-mcdermott-blames-tori-spelling-divorce-drunken-rages-choice-barn-animals-bedroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McDermott’s 2023 interview</a> with The Daily Mail, where he divulged intimate details of their relationship, including his struggle with addiction and her keeping barn animals in their bedroom as factors in their separation. She ends the call by telling McDermott, "I love you" and then says, "Wait, that’s it.
