McDermott also says that he wants people to stop thinking of him as a "monster" and that he's not the "first person to ever cheat on his wife."

He added, "I messed up. People make mistakes, but those mistakes don't define them. It's what you do after the mistakes that really shows your true character. So I would like people to take away from all of this that I'm a good guy that messed up that is just trying to put my life back together," he explained, pausing for a moment before adding, "Our life back together."

Meanwhile, it doesn't look like their reality show, True Tori, isn't doing so well in its second season. Things are so bad that reruns of Seinfeld are reportedly doing better than Spelling's show.

According to Radar Online on Thursday, the first season of True Tori debuted with over 1 million viewers. The first episode of her second season only brought in a dismal 766,000 viewers.

During Tuesday night's episode the couple argued about the possibility of having McDermott's procedure filmed, with the actor adamant that he doesn't want it televised for the world to see.
