Mary Jo Eustace dishes on losing hubby to Tori Spelling
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Rumors
I realize that Mary Jo Eustace is not very well known outside of Canada -- but I grew up watching her cooking show What's for Dinner and she was tall and kicky and often sarcastic and I wanted to have her hair.
Mary Jo's fame heightened in this country when her now ex-husband Dean McDermott famously left her for Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling. Mary Jo and Dean had two children, and I remember wondering how difficult it must be for her and their children to see Dean and Tori parading down red carpets, kissing passionately in public, and creating reality TV based on their gushy form of love.
I don't have to wonder much anymore. Mary Jo has written a tell-all book on what it is like when the "other woman" is Tori spelling. Mary Jo says she did it because she needed an outlet for her overwhelming feelings amidst the divorce and grieving process. People has a small, compelling snippet of the book which features Dean telling Mary Jo that Tori and he are soulmates -- when he'd only known her for three weeks. Dean tells his wife that he is not leaving the kids, only her, and she wonders if it is because of her horrible bikini that makes her look fat. It made me want to read it, and also to never look at another story about Tori and Dean. How heartbreaking.

Pat Liss said...I give the Dean/Torie marriage 2 more years!Does anyone on earth think Dean didn't know who Tori's Dad was? He was willing to dump 1 husband and one wife and 2 kids to live with his "Soulmate"(after 3 weeks after meeting her)How childish. But his future is secure(as long as they remain soulmates)
I watch Mary Jo everyday on her T.V. show and pray she can go on to a better life . I admire her greatly. Can't say the same for Dean. GROW UP, BOY!!

MTL said...The fact is that both Tori and Dean were already married when they met. It’s too bad they couldn’t think of the feelings of their spouses and children. They had an affair anyway. Tori and Dean committed adultery, which is a big sin. It doesn’t matter at all if they were already in unhappy marriages. Please do not try to justify what they did saying maybe they had unhappy marriages or that Mary Jo is “plain”. None of that matters and it doesn’t make it right what they did. It’s not cool to be married already to someone else and make the decision to carry on an affair with someone else. Not cool at all. God created marriage between a man and a woman and intended it to be a lifetime commitment. It’s too bad in our society that people like Tori and Dean are so looked up to by others, the institution of marriage (God created marriage to be between a man and a woman by the way), and God’s commandments are held in so low self esteem and so disregarded. It’s very sad. We must not continue to make excuses for such poor behavior and low morals including celebrities. We must pray for change and a conversion of hearts. We must pray for Tori and Dean and everyone involved. My heart especially goes out to Tori’s ex and Mary Jo and their children. Dean and Tori should have at least thought of the implication of their actions especially on the two innocent children involved, but of course they didn’t. That’s Hollywood for you. In Hollywood (and many places in America) a lot of people just care about themselves it seems. It’s so sad.
