Tori Spelling recalls reality TV stint: ‘I can finally be authentic’

Lyricist and songwriter Tori Spelling recently weighed in on her past stint on reality TV and how close she became to her authentic self during it all.

Spelling made this claim during her most recent chat with Us Weekly and there she was quoted saying, "I like being able to be myself and be authentic. I feel like [being on reality TV] ties me closer to people and to the public. So I like having fun with [it]."

She also admitted, "I truly believe in season 1 of True Tori, I felt like it was an important message," and "It was my way of getting my narrative [out] because everyone else was telling my story. It was a good message. I feel like for people everywhere going through that stuff."

Despite her appreciation for it all, Spelling added, "It probably shouldn’t have gone on past season 1. It became a little dysfunctional all around."

But Spelling does have fond memories of her time filming Tori & Dean and admitted, "I love that because … it’s their life. They were born on TV, like the first three, pretty much.”

“I love showing them that and being like, 'Look at these cute scenes when you were one and two years old.' So they definitely watched."
