In the candid interview, “Chopped Canada” host McDermott talks about his marriage to Spelling and how he’s always taken care of her throughout their 17-year marriage.
“All Tori has done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy, and I caused a lot of damage and pain to that woman,” McDermott said. “I am responsible for that today. And it was the biggest change I had to make.”
The actress admitted that it reached a point in their marriage when they started living like “roommates.” McDermott shared with the news outlet that he battled depression amid his family being constantly attacked by the paparazzi and facing financial difficulties.
He talked about how he would get drunk on tequila and drugs and go into “alcohol-fueled rages,” leaving Spelling and their children “bloated.”

McDermott admits, “alcohol makes 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.”
