Candy Spelling on Tori Rift: 'I'd Never Leave My Kids in Distress'
Candy Spelling revealed even more details about the rift between herself and daughter Tori Spelling while promoting her new tell-all memoir this week.
"Candy at Last" detail's the best-selling author's 38-year marriage to producer Aaron Spelling, raising two children in Hollywood, and even dating as a widow while managing life on her own. Furthermore, Spelling shared intimate details about her family in the new memoir, including admissions about her relationship with daughter Tori.
While promoting "Candy at Last" with an appearance on "The Talk" recently, Spelling said that Tori is "very successful" despite rumors that the actress and her husband Dean McDermott are in "financial ruin." Tori described her financial distress in a book "Spelling It Like It Is," but she and McDermott later claimed to have bounced back from the money troubles.

Further denying the rumors of financial ruin, Candy said, "No, it's not true," while on "The Talk." The 68-year-old also dismissed gossip that she shut her two kids out of their large inheritance.
"I'd never leave my kids in distress," she said. "I'm always there to support her. I even bought them a house in Malibu."
However, Spelling and her daughter, 41, have experienced long intervals of estrangement in a rift that has been public over the past several years. Despite their rocky past, Candy penned optimism toward a mother-daughter relationship in "Candy at Last."
"Tori and I are a work in progress and probably always will be," Spelling wrote.
"Candy at Last" is on sale on Amazon.
Spelling's candid memoir arrives just as Tori is enduring a cheating scandal with her husband of seven years. Late last year, McDermott cheated on his wife before entering rehab, leaving Spelling "devastated," according to Us Weekly. Today, the couple, who shares four children together, is struggling to save their marriage- as documented on the television series "True Tori."
