Tori's Ex Spills Spelling Secrets

Charlie ShanianBeing married to Tori Spelling comes with many perks, one of them being privy to intimate details about the Spelling household.

Charlie Shanian, the first Mr. Tori Spelling, is breaking his silence to "The Dr. Keith Ablow Show" and opening up about his high profile marriage and his ex-wife's relationship with her parents, Aaron and Candy Spelling.

Charlie reveals to the syndicated talk show that Candy told him if he didn't sign the pre-nuptial agreement the invitations to the wedding would not go out in the mail.

Shanian admits the bad blood between Tori and Candy existed even prior to their wedding in 2004. Charlie claims that after asking the Spellings for their blessing to marry Tori, Candy and Aaron proceeded to tell him what a terrible daughter she was. "They said how selfish she was and how she needed therapy really badly and she was just horrible to her parents."

Shanian also claims Aaron would tell Tori "I love you best, even more than mommy," which would pit Candy and Tori against each other in a competition for Aaron's affection.

Since Aaron's death in June, Candy and Tori have been involved in a nasty inheritance battle.

Charlie and Tori divorced in April 2006. The following month Tori married Canadian actor Dean McDermott.

Charlie Shanian's interview airs Thursday on "The Keith Ablow Show."

33. Watching this interview today I thought this excuse of a man was pathetic. He went on the show to share that breakups and divorces are painful. I think WE ALL KNOW THAT! I was wondering how she could have even got excited in bed with him and wondered how she could have even had sex with such a nasty man who only married her for fame. Good for her for leaving him and finally finding a real STUD! GO for it TORI. Your nightmares of facing this man everyday is OVER! ENJOY!

34. Tori Spelling is a product of her ENVIOMENT and UPBRINGING. Shes just another Paris Hilton Spoiled to the core, and Self Centered its only about them.
I cant stand either, they both are Spioled Brats.

39. Tori is such a cold person. This is the nicest guy and is is such a BITCH for what she did to him. I really hope her second marriage to that creepy, ugly guy goes strait in the crapper.

40. Thank God this girl divorced him, she gave him a job. By the way who the hell is he? Imagine the loser who gets a buck by taking about a dead man, a woman who dumped him for a hottie and a tight fisted mother in law who treated him like dirt. The stuff dreams are made of. What I would like to share with you is that a co-worker went to this dead show and said that the promotion to the audience was a few t-shirts and half of the audience left during the show that's how dull, pointless and boring it was.

41. My husband always loved our daughter more than me.. I knew it and accepted it and was glad she had a wonderful daddy who loved her and was there for both of us until he died last year. I guess money twists people's minds up and becomes more important than family loyalty. Tori's ex is a creep to say that stuff.

42. To smart white boy........just curious, if you are so smart why do you need a blow up doll?

43. Whatever happened to the days when personal information from inside of rich families was kept out of the lime light? Is it now proper to garner attention in any way possible as long as you do not have to directly pay for it with cash or credit? Tori Spelling is just another one of those spoiled brats that make the world cringe every time you see or hear the name. Poor to these people means under 100 million dollars probably. What could possibly be next from this family? Maybe a tell all expose accusing Aaron Spelling of abusing his daughter sexually for years followed by an enormous lawsuit? Who knows about the ongoing tales from this group of whiners and no one should care either, don't waste your time giving them the attention they crave so much and maybe they will disappear from our lives for good. Keep family matters where they belong, between family. And to answer a posed question, YES it is common in these types of households to have a family member demand pre-nuptual agreements, that's money for you!

44. All the money in the world....and they still are not happy...and certainly not satisfied...to comment on Charlie boy....he is an idiot...these people that go TV, in magazines and sell their sorry stories...Boo Hoo....and shame on Candy and Toni, washing their troubles out for the world to see....all I know is I am so grateful for the loving, respectful daughter I raised...plus working two jobs.

45. I feel so bad for Tori to have such horrible parents. I don't know how bad Tori was to her parents, but for them to say those things to her former fiance-to-be is just a horrid situation for any son or daughter. I cannot believe they did that. What did Tori do to her parents that was so cruel?? Don't you think that if she was so horrible, she would never do an interview for (which one was it) one of those celebrity magazines, which she did a few months ago? No matter how bad I was to my parents, and we all have been, especially in our teenage years, my parents would never ever do that to me. They'd cry if they did that. No matter what wrong I did in my life, my parents love me so much. I feel bad for Tori, because it seems there is a cold-heartedness in her family, especially coming from her mother. Maybe all that money has warped their minds. How can you say that about your child?
