I'm sure there are two side to this story - but they're sides that should be playing out in private. Candy Spelling has taken to the press again to chastise daughter Tori. Candy, per usual, has made some nasty passive-aggressive comments while trying to appear like she's taking the high road. Because the high road always involves sending a public letter to TMZ: I Know many middle-aged people have issues about their
parents and their upbringing. I did. My memories didn't match all those of my
mother, and, funny thing, it's the same way with my daughter.
Life has consequences. What you say is on the record. Other
people have feelings.
I have a vested interest in this subject. My daughter,
Tori's, two-part season finale revolves around my granddaughter's first
birthday party and how she has made what seems like an agonizing decision to
invite me.
Cue music. Cue sideways glaces. Clue Lights.
I did get an invitation just in time for the RSVP deadline.
I'm sure its delivery will be on next week's episode with some comment about my
house or driveway or street or something they won't like. I wonder if that will
be spread out over one part or two. Sigh.
A big party wasn't how I envisioned meeting my granddaughter
for the first time; but, hey, this is Hollywood, and my grandchildren have
become reality show props, too. At the time I emailed "yes," I didn't realize I
was being set up for a two-parter, even though it was clear I was being invited
to be part of a segment for my daughter's reality show.
Spoiler alert. Don't read this if you plan to sit through an
hour of people looking at their watches and saying "she's late." I decided my
first meeting with my granddaughter should be on home video, not primetime
cable; so I emailed that i would not be attending.
Back to other reality stars. My husband taught me that the
plots have to be fresh and updated. The same old whining gets tired after a
while. Enough complaining about what may or may not have happened during first
grade or YMCA camp, or what vegetable you were forced to endure, especially
when you are privileged enough to be on TV and get paid for it.
For all the reality show personalities, please remember that
real life doesn't get edited to make things better or worse or get better
ratings.
You're responsible for what you do. Life isn't just a show.
And your families can't just be props. Make your own season finale without
creating conflicts you will regret later.]
How about not sending a letter that will be viewed by the public! If she had a soul, she'd surely regret that move later. And as for calling Tori "middle-aged"? What exactly does that make you, Candy? You're a fantastic mother. Golf claps.
