A mother’s heartbreak.
Tori Spelling made the brutally honest confession that her two oldest children have been relentlessly bullied in school, sharing the dark details of their educational torture.
The Beverly Hills 90210 star is a mother of five and has found her children to be a target of bullying on social media, but now she is sharing the fact that their own peers have been harassing them as well.
“My two 1st born... they have been thru so much bullying I can no longer not share and express ourselves,” she wrote as a caption of a throwback photo of Liam and Stella, two of her children with hubby Dean McDermott, to her 1.5 million followers.
“Stella is 11. She was 1 in this pic. Innocent little being that only knew unconditional love, honesty, exploration, & kindness. Her beautiful heart, full of hope. Between her last year at her elementary school or the 1st year at her middle school this human has endured enough bullying for a lifetime,” Spelling wrote.
“Liam, my 1st born, is a feisty funny guy. 2 thumbs up in this pic at 2 years old. He graduated last year from Encino but not without the principal telling us he was ‘unmotivated & lazy,’” she wrote about her teenage son.
“Poor guy thought from way he was treated by her that he was ‘stupid.’ Beyond not the case. He is a hilarious, smart, outgoing, and a creative kind guy! Then, he started his new middle school. Same school as Stella. He was bullied to the point that he developed severe emotional based headaches and stomach aches.”

Stella’s Situation
Mom Tori described her daughter’s dire situation. “Her old school in Encino, we were told she is acting like ‘Patient zero’ and ‘she’s playing the victim’ & ‘we are talking to the parents of that said bully’ and ‘he is trying to change.’”
Actions
She claimed the child bullying Stella did not change. “He never did,” she wrote. “Never any consequences for his actions towards my daughter and other kids. This child’s parents are on the board of the school. They give a lot of money to this school. Financially, we aren’t able too. So, they won.”
Desperate Measures
“We then moved kiddos to another school,” the BH 90210 star said, explaining how they tried to help their children. “One that professed feelings and kindness as a priority. This time, my daughter was bullied so bad (including comments about her weight and sexual things he said that my daughter didn’t even know about.)”
Damage Done
“This school did the right thing and expelled the boy but the damage had been done,” Tori confessed, describing the harm done to her daughter.
“She now associates her education with boys that have been so horrific to her. She wanted to empower others girls and be a business leader. She now has panic attacks and doesn’t want to return to school. This girl, 2 years ago told me she wanted to be President or work to empower women daily.”
Poor Boy
Tori said her son did not receive the help that his sister did. “He continued to be bullied so bad we had to leave. Was hesitant to post this bc as celebs we are sometimes judged for having problems others have ?#worriedmomma.”
Money Woes
Tori responded to a comment with a message about how troubled they were. “Sadly these poor kiddos have been thru so much and now their financial educational help has been taken away,” she wrote. “Further making them feel like they don’t deserve an education or a place where they can feel safe and not get lost in the school system.”
Cash Strapped
On an episode of Tori Tried and True, she got candid about her ongoing cash issues, telling fans, “I am not great with money, and I know a lot of people read a lot of stuff about my financial things going on.”
