It looks like there's nothing Tori Spelling won't say or do for a headline. The former Hollywood actress - who is supposedly in deep financial trouble with her husband, Dean McDermott - recently opened up about her family's issues, including her on-again, off-again relationship with her mother, Candi Spelling.

According to Lena Dunham's site, Lenny, Spelling opened up about her "complicated" relationship with her famous mother and why she decided to out her husband's infidelity on her reality show.

As far as her childhood with her mother, Tori said, 'It's because [my mom] had that relationship with her mother.' I would always ask my dad, 'Why is Mom like this to me?' He would tell me, 'She had a really bad relationship with her mom. Her mom was like that with her. There was a lot of competition. It was complicated.'"

She added, "I thought, If I have a daughter, I guess it's just going to pass down. That's the way it goes. Over time, I discovered it was definitely a conscious effort, and I just reminded myself every day I'm not my mom."

When it comes to her rocky marriage with her husband Dean though, Tori says there's an important reason why she wanted to let the world know exactly what was going on behind closed doors between the two of them.

She explained, "It was honestly my decision [to put the affair fallout on the show]. This was affecting me on many levels, not just the personal level. This is my career; this is, I hate saying it, my brand. All the lines blurred at that point. I obviously ran it by Dean, and if he had been adamant that he didn't want to do it, I would not have done it."

Despite Dean cheating on Tori with a fan from Toronto, the couple managed to repair their marriage through therapy. Keep up with Enstars for all the latest news on Dean and Tori and all of your favorite celebrity couples right here.
