Tori Spelling's transformation from a teen entertainment titan of the
'90s into a reality TV star was quite a journey. Along the way, the "Beverly Hills,
90210" star fused the sitcom and reality show formats for her 2006 scripted VH1 series "So
Notorious," which saw her playing an alternate version of herself. It aired in the wake of her
extramarital affair with her "Mind Over Murder" co-star Dean McDermott, whom she later married.
Despite the negative headlines about the scandalous manner in which her marriage started,
Spelling fully embraced her status as a tabloid darling, as she has never shied away from speaking
candidly about her, well..."Messyness." During a 2008 Redbook interview,
she explained how she learned to stop worrying about her critics at a young age. She said,
"As a teenager, I'd get upset about what the magazines said about me;
it hurts when you read that you're ugly. But I've worked through the criticism."
Spelling has also been the subject of plastic surgery rumors since she was a teenager,
and she has been honest about the work that she has had done. In 2019, she told People magazine,
"I literally had my nose done and my boobs done,
and that's it. I'm constantly reading that I've done more."
Being an open book helped Spelling build a successful career in reality TV, but some
fans think that the star is starting to look a little too much like another reality personality.
When Spelling stepped out in August 2021, fans could not stop talking about how much
Spelling resembled Khloé Kardashian — and per usual, Twitter had the jokes. One tweet read,
"BREAKING: Tristan Thompson leaves Khloe Kardashian for Khloe Spelling."
Sadly, Khloé and Spelling have something in common
besides their reality careers and looks — unfaithful partners. Another person wrote,
"Tori Spelling is trying to single white female Khloe Kardashian."
"Yes Twitter I've heard that a lot."
Some comments were actually pretty kind. One message read,
"'Tori Spelling stole Khloe Kardashian's whole look' and she looked good while doing so too."
Spelling herself has revealed that she has Khloé to thank for making her look
great below the waist. In 2020, she posed in a pair of jeans from
Khloé's Good American brand. She captioned her Instagram pic with,
"The fit is so comfy and soft, & sucks me in in all the right places."
Okay, so Spelling's denim post was sponsored, but we still love
seeing the women of reality TV supporting each other. And we're definitely happy that Khloé's
new celebrity twin has found her, quote, "twin flame" in her "Messyness" co-star,
Jersey Shore's "Snooki." Spelling captioned a pic of her and Snooki with,
"Love the way we empower each other to be our authentic selves."
Even if it surprised some, her new partially-FaceTuned look might have
been a long time coming for Spelling. Growing up, Spelling was always in the spotlight,
but it wasn't until later in life that she admitted to having low self-confidence.
In 2020, Spelling opened up for seemingly the first time about
her struggles with self-acceptance in a heartfelt Instagram post. She wrote,
"When I started 90210 at 16 I was filled with low self confidence.
Then, internet trolls (yep we had them back then too!) called me frog
and bug eyed. Being put under a microscope as a young girl in her formative years was hard."
Spelling didn't hold back, going on to say,
"I spent years begging makeup artists on my shows and movies to please try to make
my eyes look smaller. I would cry over my looks in the makeup trailer chair."
Spelling has been in the business long enough to know that when she debuts a new look,
everyone will be talking about it. Despite all of the internet commentary about her appearance,
she has no problem posting and showing off her looks,
and she seems like she has grown past any negative commentary.
"I get to now like embrace that and share it and be like, 'yep, this is it.'"
In her 2020 post, she cautioned fans,
"Just remember next time that you go to comment on someone's account
regarding their face or body or choices, you don't know them."
