TORI SPELLING’s parents tried to talk her ex-husband out of marrying her - by telling him she was a terrible person.
Actor CHARLIE SHANIAN admits he was taken aback when his request to wed the former BEVERLY HILLS, 90210 star was met with stunned silence and then harsh criticism.
Making his first TV appearance since he and Spelling divorced after a year of marriage last year (05), Shanian told TV life coach DR KEITH ABLOW, "They said how selfish she was, how she needed therapy really badly." Shanian, who is psychiatrist and author Ablow’s first big guest as he launches a new TV talk show this week (beg11SEP06), adds, "They proceeded for the next 25 minutes to tell me what a horrible daughter they had." Shanian even reveals how he learned his brief marriage was over - from his wife’s therapist.

I don't. The article said "parents" so I would image the dad also thought TTori was a bitch.

Wow, I'm shocked he didn't say anything earlier but now opens up on a TV show. I suppose he's not afraid of Aaron Spelling's wrath anymore but it's still weird timing. Maybe she and ratface deserve each other.

How bad could Tori be that her parents told a guy not to marry her ? That is jsut really sad that even your parents tell people not to marry you

You would think they'd have been happy to have her off their hands then.

Not to change the subject, but what's up with her lately? every picture you see on the internet she either has her hands in his pants or in her own.

Hm. That does sound pretty bad when your parents badmouth you to your fiance in an attempt to talk him out of marrying you. I wonder if she really is that bad? I mean, so bad that even her dad would take part in the "Tori is a horrible selfish person you shouldn't marry" talk? Why would they say that?

Either it's true, or maybe they just didn't want him to be a part of the family (he being a lowly writer/actor and all), and just used this as an excuse to talk him out of marrying into the family. I guess either way, the extremely rich have a potential for being extremely bizarre.

Some of my ex-husband's relatives warned me about him - and aw, I was in love and stupid!

I'm sure that the Brinks Truck parked in front of her parents house made him get over the selfishness part.

Ouch!! For some reason I don't believe this guy. It's one thing when your parents joke around and tell your fiance 'Are you sure you want to marry my daughter? You know she is selfish and hard to live with!" because I can see my own family doing that playing around...but this guy can be really exaggerating the whole conversation since Aaron Spelling is dead and Tori's re-married. It sounds fishy to me. He sounds like an embittered ex-husband just looking to bad-mouth her and the family because he has nothing else to do. Screw Charlie. He's an ugly sonofabitch too...Dean's way better looking than his poor ass anyway.
