Tori Spelling revealed on her "misSPELLING" podcast that she might have to join OnlyFans to afford college tuitions for her five children. In a conversation with guest William Shatner, Spelling, 51, candidly discussed the financial challenges of sending her kids to university.
Shatner, 93, highlighted the high costs of education, saying, "You've got numerous children going to school and university... it's just crazy." Spelling responded, "I'm gonna have to go on OnlyFans in order to get them into college."
OnlyFans, initially known for adult content, has diversified its offerings to include various creators like comedians and chefs. Spelling explained, "OnlyFans is a site...originally, it was more women in the field, not sex workers, but along those lines, but now actresses do it."
Shatner probed further, asking about the kind of content on the platform. Spelling clarified, "If you're on in a bikini or something revealing, if people subscribe and they pay more, they can get, like, a shot of you with, like, your breast showing." When Shatner asked if everything could be shown, Spelling confirmed, "If you want! If you choose."
Spelling's financial woes have been public. She inherited $800,000 from her father, Aaron Spelling, who left behind a $500 million estate. Despite this, Spelling has faced significant financial struggles, including stays in inexpensive hotels and RV parks. She moved out of a $15,000-a-month rental home, leaving it "completely trashed," according to neighbors.
Her financial issues have pushed her to explore various revenue streams. In January 2023, Spelling admitted on Jeff Lewis Live on SiriusXM that she had spent $400 in two days on Denise Richards' OnlyFans account. She found the platform fascinating and described the allure of potentially exclusive content.
She and Dean McDermott, who shares her five children, announced their separation in 2023. Despite past attempts to work through their issues, including McDermott's infidelity in 2014 and a re-proposal in 2017, the couple ultimately decided to divorce.
Discussing her children's educational prospects, Spelling humorously remarked on the podcast, "Educating my kids about money so they don't turn out like me." Shatner offered a more practical suggestion, "Let them work," which Spelling dismissed, noting her children's varying abilities.
