Tori Spelling revealed she made a sex tape with her ex and it was almost leaked.
The reality TV personality, 51, made the bold confession in this week’s episode of her misSPELLING podcast and admitted she wished she had let it be leaked.
She said she and her ex-husband Dean McDermott once filmed themselves during an intimate moment after he suggested it to her on Valentine’s Day.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum — who also recently admitted she never drinks water because she is afraid of being poisoned — explained that somebody got ahold of the tape and tried to sell it for money.
To her surprise, however, it never leaked.
Spelling and the actor, 58, tied the knot in 2006 and were together up until their divorce last year.

She recalled filming it when she and her ex were ‘in the height’ of their fame while filming their reality show, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, which aired from 2007 to 2012.
‘It was Valentine’s Day or something, and I was in New York,’ she began. ‘He was filming a movie, came to visit me, and he was like, “Hey, let’s film ourselves having sex.”
‘We had never done it before, you know,’ she said, explaining that they had been together and ‘married for years’ at that point.
The actress recalled how she ‘never even watched it back’ and forgot about it until it got into the hands of somebody who had access to their home.
‘We trusted everybody,’ she said. ‘He had it on our computer at home, and a friend he thought was a friend stayed at our house while we took the kids to Hawaii. Anyway, [the friend] took the computer and tried to sell it to Vivid Video.’
They actually contacted us and said, “We want to let you know we didn’t accept it,’ she said.
Jokingly, she recalled responding to them: ‘I said, “Why? Were my angles not good?”
She continued about how their friend broke their trust. ‘So we had to get a restraining order on this guy,’ she said.

In the end, she said they ‘got all of it back and everything.’
Reflecting on the incident, Spelling admitted she sometimes wished she had just let it leak.
‘I don’t believe in regrets,’ she said. ‘But I’m bummed I said no to Playboy and now at 51, I wish I had been on the cover of f***ing Playboy!’
She added: ‘I was doing it with my husband, and we were together. I should have let that sex tape go out.’
Spelling also recently reflected on her past marriage with McDermott and opened up about her love life.
While talking to guest Audrey O’Day, Spelling broke down in tears and said she does not want to ‘die alone.’
‘I’m now 51 and single again with five kids,’ she said in another episode from this week. ‘So, I don’t even know where I stand in the future. I just don’t want to be alone. I don’t want to die alone. I don’t know what I’m doing right now.’
Spelling filed for divorce from McDermott in March 2024 after nearly two decades of marriage.

In a past episode of her podcast from March, she spoke about their current, cordial relationship.
‘[I’m a] single mom of five now, co-parenting very well with my ex, Dean, which I gotta say, it is super challenging,’ she shared with her listeners.
‘I don’t know if anyone has gone through this, but I’ve never called him Dean. I’ve called him babe for 20 years. So it is super hard to remind myself that, “Oh, OK. You guys aren’t together anymore.”
‘So when we’re doing kid drop off and switcheroos and he’s over helping, I’m like, “Oh, babe.” And I’m thinking to myself, “Is that OK? I just called him babe.” And he’s cool with it.’
