Tori Spelling Talks Her and Dean McDermott's Kids Objecting to Her Public Comments About Personal Life

Tori Spelling's biggest critics are often her five kids. The 50-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 star opens up on the most recent episode of her misSPELLING podcast with guest Teresa Giudice about her kids objecting to her public persona.

"My kids are like, 'Ugh, Mom, stop putting us out there and talking about us.' And I'm like, 'It's kind of our day job. I don't know what to tell you,'" the single mom shared. "My kids grew up on TV."

In addition to her acting work, Spelling has also been featured in a number of reality TV shows alongside her family, including So Notorious, True Tori, and Tori & Dean. Spelling is mom to Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7, whom she shares with ex Dean McDermott.

But in the wake of Spelling's split and subsequent divorce filing from McDermott, coupled with her kids growing up, she said it has become more of a sticking point in their parent-child relationship.

"For my kids, they're more not OK with some things I say," Spelling explained. "And my 15-year-old [Stella], she's now like, 'Mom, I'm in high school, and you can't say things because I didn't choose this.' And I'm like, 'I understand that.'"

Giudice also understood the conflict, saying that her second daughter, Gabriella, whom she shares with ex Joe Giudice, prefers to keep her personal life more private.

"She doesn't really like all the cameras and everything," Giudice explained. "I always ask my daughters if they want to film with me, if they want to do a scene with me. So I don't force them… Gabriella's my one that's a little more reserved, she's private on Instagram. She's that child. And I'm totally fine with that."

Spelling filed for divorce from McDermott after 18 years of marriage last month.

"Tori filing for divorce from Dean was not a surprise to either of them. They have both been getting their ducks in a row and a plan in place for the past couple of years," a source told ET. "They wanted to make sure that they're both taken care of individually and also as co-parents. It's not a volatile situation on either end and things are actually pretty cordial between them. Their co-parenting situation is fine and continuing to get better."
