A source tells the site, "Mary Jo was first approached by Dean at Tori's demand to see if there was any interest in coming on the show. Producers needed a new storyline for this season, and Mary Jo's name came up."
Apparently, Eustace wasn't too keen on appearing on the show, but was eventually persuaded to do so by McDermott.
The source added, "At first, Mary Jo said no, but began to talk to Tori about it," the source added. "After being offered $10,000, and a promise that she wouldn't be portrayed as the evil ex-spouse, Mary Jo agreed."
What's more, it seems as though Spelling is eager to have Eustace on the show to make her look more sympathetic to her viewers.
The insider explained, "Tori has clear ulterior motives in attempting to befriend Mary Jo on camera. She is hoping that this will make her more sympathetic to viewers. Also, it will make Dean look like a fool for cheating on both of them. It's dysfunction at its best."
The second season of True Tori is set to air on Lifetime.
