Dean McDermott’s first ex-wife calls Tori Spelling ‘desparate’ for calling him about divorce during podcast
The "90210" star and Canadian actor were married for 18 years before announcing their divorce in March
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Dean McDermott’s first wife, Mary Jo Eustace, had some strong words for Tori Spelling.
Eustace, who was married to McDermott from 1993 until his affair with Spelling led to their divorce in 2006, wasn’t a fan of the "90210" actress for calling him during her podcast to tell him she had filed for divorce.
"Desperate much? It’s just low, low, low," she told Page Six on Thursday. "It’s just not how you conduct things."

Only Spelling’s side of the conversation is heard, but it’s clear they’re speaking about the optics of her filing for divorce first, and she explains why she did so to him and listeners before ending the call by telling McDermott, "I love you."
