Tori Roloff Reveals Son Liam McDermott Needs Surgery in Health Update on December 14, 2023 at 10:58 pm The Hollywood Gossip

Earlier this month, Tori Spelling attended her first official event since Dean McDermott’s tell-all interview.

She didn’t do so alone. Four of her five children accompanied her to that festive red carpet appearance.

Liam McDermott, her eldest son, did not.

As it turns out, there may have been a very good reason for that. Tori just shared a health update, revealing that her son was about to go into surgery.

On Wednesday afternoon, Tori Spelling took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of her firstborn.

16-year-old Liam Aaron McDermott was on a hospital bed, clearly as a patient. He was awake and with his phone by his side.

Tori detailed that her son was preparing to undergo surgery. Both he and his mother were feeling nervous, she reported.

“My 1st baby waiting to go into foot surgery,” Tori captioned the post.

She confessed: “Not sure who’s more nervous him or mama.” 

“Proud of your bravery,” Tori then expressed to her son. “And things can only get better after this.”

Very correctly, Tori did not go into detail about why Liam was undergoing surgery. That is absolutely and emphatically his business.

It’s foot surgery, which does narrow down the causes considerably. He could, conceivably, be dealing with bunions or correcting a tendon issue.

(Yes, bunions are more common among adult women, but they can happen to teens in Liam’s age range. Probably not the likely culprit, however)

As we said, it’s Liam’s business. And Tori is not wrong to leave out those details.

Despite being a nepo baby (even if the benefits waned considerably after her father’s passing), Tori chose to become a public figure.

None of her kids did. They’re famous because their parents are famous, and they’re in the spotlight because their parents have both had a really rough year. This isn’t a case of adult reality stars who exchange access for material gain.

It is possible that Liam’s surgery had nothing to do with whatever has caused him to now undergo surgery.

For example, he could have missed the event because it didn’t interest him. He’s a 16-year-old, and walking the red carpet with your mom might get old after a while.

It’s possible that he might have had a bad break in his ankle and needed surgery. But probably not. Tori pretty specifically mentioned “foot” surgery.

A few months ago, Tori herself underwent an extended hospital stay. She has not chosen to fully divulge what prompted it.

Rumors suggest that she may have fallen or collapsed. And there is speculation that her previous black mold exposure may be continuing to impact her health.

That’s likely not behind Liam’s need for surgery. Again, it’s his foot. Or feet? Probably just one foot, but who knows?
