Tori Spelling added being in Uncle Sam’s bad book to her long list of personal problems as she was targeted for failing to pay taxes.
According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum has several tax liens filed against him by the California State Franchise Tax Board for thousands of dollars in debt.

In total, Spelling owes the state about $96,000 in unpaid taxes. A lien has been filed against Spelling’s Calabasas home. As always, the Tax Board warns that further interest and fees will continue to accrue until the lien is paid in full.
The tax lien comes as details of Spelling’s tumultuous marriage to estranged husband Dean McDermott play out. Remember that in June, the Canadian host announced that their marriage of almost two decades was coming to an end.
“It is with great sadness and a very, very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, @torispelling and I have decided to separate and start our own new journeys,” McDermott wrote at the time.
The “Chopped Canada” host, however, quickly deleted the statement, and both parties remained silent about the state of their marriage, despite being seen with different people several times.
That was until recently when McDermott, for the first time, confirmed that indeed his marriage to Spelling was on the rocks. In a shocking interview, the father of five shared his story of how his marriage fell apart, admitting that it was badly affected by his addiction to prescription pills and alcohol.
“All Tori has done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy, and I caused that woman a lot of damage and pain,” McDermott told the Daily Mail. “I am responsible for that today. And it was the biggest change I had to make.”
He opened up about how he would get drunk on tequila and drugs and go into “alcohol-fueled rages,” leaving Spelling and their children “bloated.” The 57-year-old explained that his substance addiction was fueled by his depression and that his family was bombarded by the paparazzi when facing financial difficulties.

McDermott recalled, “Alcohol made me feel pretty good. I started out feeling pretty good until it got to the point where it didn’t – it ended up in isolation. It ended with me drinking a fifth of tequila every night, seven days a week, and a handful of narcos [prescription meds] alone with a beautiful family in another room.”
The “Due South” star added that his addiction led to “devastation” and even inspired a since-deleted statement about the end of their marriage in June. “My worst memory with Tori was the last fight when I was drunk and angry. It was the night I raged against him and the children and I saw the light, the last flicker of the fire go out in his eyes. I am posting this because I am at the end of my rope. I don’t know what to do. I had burned everything again,” he recalls of the incident.
“I can’t do it anymore. I can’t live that life anymore. I’m tired of the anger and the yelling.”
Despite his wrongdoings, the television personality who claims to be sober now, declares that he is still in love with his estranged wife.

“He wanted access to the children and he wanted to set a good example,” claimed the informant who said McDermott had not seen his children since June, when he typed the farewell message.
According to reports, after posting the Instagram message, McDermott attended a 40-day rehab period at Harmony Place chosen with the help of Spelling. Even though he’s clean now, he’s reportedly still trying to get into the “Kiss The Bride” actor’s good books so he can get access to his kids.
As is sometimes the case with celebrity breakups, there is a possibility that McDermott and Spelling may turn to the legal system to fight it out.
