Tori Spelling Faces New, Nearly 6-Figure Debt on November 29, 2023 at 6:05 pm The Hollywood Gossip

Published

Poor Tori Spelling is now facing a massive debt on top of everything else that this year has thrown at her.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Dean McDermott confessed to what he put his family through before he went to rehab and became sober.

But his substance abuse struggles were not the only factor. Among other things, Tori and Dean faced major financial challenges over the years.

That didn’t help their marriage. And now Tori’s facing a nearly 6-figure debt.

The Blast reports that the State of Claifornia Franchise Tax Board has filed several liens against Tori Spelling.

The first lien stems from unpaid taxes from 2017 to 2019, and total just shy of $60,000. The second is from 2021, totalling around $36,700.

All told, she owes just shy of $96,000 for these combined debts. Unfortunately, fees and interest will continue to mount until Tori can clear this debt in full.

Unfortunately, this is not an unfamiliar plight for Tori — or for her ex, Dean McDermott.

State and federal tax liens from 2016, 2017, and 2018 totaled much higher — at nearly $1 million.

Additionally, there was that $324 tax warrant from New York.

How does this happen? That’s a complex question because money is pretty complex.

Simply put, unless someone is actively evading paying what they owe, it usually means that they didn’t make what they expected to or just didn’t make enough. Or had an unexpected financial crisis — some of which can last years.

We know that it’s hard to look at someone who owes $100k or $1 million as unfortunate, but Tori and Dean’s financial struggles have been very real. There are extremely wealthy people who make a mockery of the law to avoid paying their fair share. That’s not what’s going on with Tori.

It’s sad that Tori is in this predicament. Maybe she could reasonably have avoided it — or maybe she couldn’t. We don’t know.

For years, she has seemingly struggled to remain afloat.

And that was before her miserable 2023. An extremely hazardous mold infestation, a sudden divorce announcement, and a barrage of indignities have hounded her all year.

Meanwhile, Tori’s mother Candy Spelling has an estimated net worth of $600 million or so. That’s rich, even in the entertainment world.

Famously, Tori and her brother each received only $800,000 when their father passed. The actual fortune went to Candy.

Candy has publicly stated her intention to help Tori financially amidst her divorce. But, according to Dean, this generosity is a very new development.

“It’s your daughter. It’s your flesh and blood and it’s your grandbabies,” Dean called out Candy during a recent interview.

“And for someone who is so blessed to have so much,” he suggested, “it would be really nice for her to share with her daughter.”

Candy almost certainly has the financial power to make Tori’s debts vanish as easily as the average American can afford a two-person McDonald’s order. If there’s anything stopping Candy but Candy herself, we’re not aware of it.

Kim and Kanye’s Daughter North West Faces Criticism Over Her Tattoos

Published

on

North West, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, is under the spotlight once again — this time for showing off a collection of tattoos that set social media on fire. In recent photos and videos circulating online, North was seen with several arm designs, including tributes to her parents and fashion-inspired symbols. While fans were quick to admire her bold style, not everyone was impressed.

Critics argue that the tattoos — even though they appear to be temporary — are another example of celebrity children being pushed into adult trends too early. Comments flooded social media platforms, with some users saying Kim allows North too much freedom, while others defended the reality star’s parenting approach, praising her for letting her daughter explore creativity and self-expression.

“Kids should be kids,” one commenter wrote, reflecting a broader sentiment among parents online. Meanwhile, supporters pointed out that North comes from one of the most fashion-forward families in the world and that experimenting with style is part of her upbringing.

Kim Kardashian has not directly addressed the controversy, but she has often spoken about encouraging her children to express themselves authentically. North, already known for her viral TikTok appearances and fashion collaborations, seems unfazed by the criticism.

At just 12, North West continues to blur the lines between youth culture and celebrity identity — reminding the public that in the Kardashian–West household, individuality isn’t just allowed, it’s celebrated.

Jennifer Lopez’s Ex Fires Back: “You Are the Problem”

Ojani Noa Accuses J.Lo of Cheating After “Never Been Loved” Comments

Jennifer Lopez is once again at the center of a media storm — but this time, it’s her first husband, Ojani Noa, turning up the heat. Following Lopez’s recent Howard Stern Show interview, in which she claimed she has “never been truly loved” by any of her exes, Noa has publicly accused the superstar of cheating and playing the victim.

In the viral Instagram post that has now spread across major outlets like TMZ and New York Post, Noa didn’t hold back.

“Stop putting us down. Stop putting me down with your victim card,” he wrote. “The problem is not us. Not me. The problem is you. You’re the one who couldn’t keep it in your pants.”

“You Chose Fame and Lies Over Love”

Noa and Lopez were married briefly from 1997 to 1998, before her rise to Hollywood superstardom. In his explosive statement, he accused her of being unfaithful during their marriage, claiming she prioritized fame over their relationship.

“You have been loved a few times. You’ve been married four times. And have had countless relationships in between,” Noa continued. “You decided to lie, to cheat on me. You begged me to keep the marriage intact to avoid bad press.”

Noa described himself as “faithful, honest, and loving,” saying he uprooted his life and career to support Lopez at the beginning of her entertainment journey. “I left my family, my friends, everything behind for you,” he wrote, “but once fame came calling, you left me behind.”​

Lopez Silent Amid Growing Backlash

As of now, Jennifer Lopez has not publicly responded to Noa’s allegations. During her Howard Stern interview, the singer and actress claimed her former partners “weren’t capable” of loving her, saying, “It’s not that I’m not lovable… it’s that they’re not capable.”

Her remarks were widely interpreted as referencing all of her ex-husbands — including Marc Anthony, Cris Judd, and Ben Affleck — but it was Noa who reacted first and most forcefully. His comments have ignited widespread debate online, with many questioning whether Lopez’s honesty came at the expense of others’ reputations.

Public Response and Media Fallout

The online reaction has been intense, with social media users split between defending Lopez’s right to share her truth and blasting her for allegedly rewriting history. Meanwhile, entertainment analysts note that the controversy adds to an increasingly turbulent year for the singer, following canceled tours, underperforming films, and ongoing scrutiny over her marriage to Affleck.

This latest backlash has also reignited conversations about Lopez’s highly publicized romantic history. As tabloids and fans speculate whether more exes might respond, the situation underscores an old truth in celebrity culture — that every candid confession comes with consequences.

For now, Jennifer Lopez remains silent. But in the court of public opinion, the debate about who’s really at fault in her love story is only just beginning.

Selling Your Soul in Hollywood: The Hidden Cost of Fame

Published

on

By all appearances, Hollywood is a dream factory — a place where charisma, talent, and luck collide to create stars. But behind the camera lights and red carpets lies a conversation few inside the industry speak openly about: the spiritual and moral price of ambition.

For actor Omar Gooding, the idea of “selling your soul” in Hollywood isn’t a metaphor — it’s a moral process that begins with tiny compromises. In an October 2025 interview, Gooding explained that no one in Hollywood makes a literal deal with the devil. Instead, it’s the quiet yeses, the moments when comfort overrides conviction, that mark the beginning of the trade. “They don’t say, ‘Take this or you’ll never make it,’” he said. “They just put it in front of you. You choose.”

Those choices, he argues, create a pattern. Once you show that you’ll accept something you once resisted, the industry notices. “Hollywood knows who it can get away with what,” Gooding said. “One thing always leads to another.” The phrase “selling your soul,” in this context, means losing your say — doing what you’re told rather than what you believe in.

That moral tension has long shadowed the arts. Comedians like Dave Chappelle, who famously walked away from millions to preserve his creative integrity, often serve as examples of where conviction and career collide. In resurfaced interviews, Chappelle hinted that he felt manipulated and silenced by powerful figures who sought control of his narrative, warning that “they’re trying to convince me I’m insane.”

This isn’t just about conspiracy — it’s about agency. Hollywood runs on perception. Performers are rewarded for being agreeable, moldable, entertaining. Those who question the machine or refuse the script risk exile, while those who conform are elevated — sometimes beyond what they can handle.

We see the ‘collections’ all the time,” Gooding explained. “When the bill comes due, you can tell. They made that deal long ago.”

But the story doesn’t end in darkness. Gooding also emphasizes that in today’s entertainment landscape, artists have more control than ever. With streaming, social media, and creator‑driven platforms, performers don’t have to “play the game” to be seen. Independent creators can build their own stages, speak their own truths, and reach millions without trading authenticity for access.

Still, the temptation remains — recognition, validation, quick success. And every generation of artists must answer the same question: What are you willing to do for fame?

As Gooding put it, “You just make the best choices you can. Because once it’s gone — your name, your peace, your soul — there’s no buying it back.”
