Tori Spelling is usually pretty chill about celebrity gossip— I guess she has to be after being in the spotlight for so many years. But when the above cover story scared the bejesus out of her children, she got mad. And spoke up.

The celebrity mom has justifiably lashed out against Star Magazine for claiming that she is getting a divorce from husband and father of her four children Dean McDermott. 

“This time I had to comment,” Tori wrote the mag, explaining, “because this time I’m answering not as a celebrity but as a mom.” Tori elaborated that her 5-year-old son, Liam, saw the magazine cover in a local supermarket checkout line. “His proudest achievement so far in his young life is that he is learning to read. Until now, when that pride turned to sorrow thanks to Star magazine.”

Tori continued, “He first spotted me on the cover, then Dad, and then a picture of himself and his three younger siblings. He was able to read two things out loud, the word DIVORCE (which he proudly sounded out) and the caption above his picture which read ‘Who will get the kids?’ He became terrified.

“I had to hurry him and his confused 4-year-old sister Stella out of the grocery store and into our car. By the time he was fastening himself into his car seat he was asking, ‘Why is someone getting us? Where are you and Dad going?’ He was anxiously biting his lower lip and his big blue eyes were filled with tears. My heart sank. How would I explain to my children that what these three writers who have never even met us but who claim to know the ins and outs of our relationship and have proudly put their names on this article are flat out writing lies?”
