Actress Tori Spelling might have to get creative to manage the costs of sending all five of her children to college. In a light-hearted conversation on the latest episode of her podcast, “misSPELLING,” the 51-year-old star quipped about the lengths she might go to fund her kids’ higher education.
The Financial Strain of Higher Education
During the episode, Tori Spelling chatted with guest William Shatner, 93, about the financial challenges of parenting. Shatner brought up the topic, noting the considerable expense associated with sending children to college. “You have numerous children going to school, and the university, which they will eventually go to, I’m here to tell you is inordinately expensive. I mean, it’s just crazy,” he said.
Tori Spelling, who shares five children—Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7—with estranged husband Dean McDermott, responded with a tongue-in-cheek remark: “I’m gonna have to go on OnlyFans in order to get them into college.”
Explaining OnlyFans to Shatner
The conversation took a humorous turn as Spelling explained the concept of OnlyFans to Shatner, who was unfamiliar with the platform. Initially known for adult content, OnlyFans has evolved to include creators from various fields, including comedians and chefs. Spelling explained, “Originally, it was more women in the field—not sex workers, but along those lines.” Shatner, seeking clarification, interjected, “When you say ‘not sex workers, but along those lines,’ they either are, or they aren’t. They’re either putting out, or they’re not putting out.”
“Yes,” the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star confirmed, adding that the platform now features a range of content. “A lot of actresses do it now, and they show things.” Spelling elaborated that subscribers could pay for exclusive content, which might include revealing photos.
A Comedic Exchange
Shatner humorously likened OnlyFans to a fundraising platform like GoFundMe, suggesting the title “I need help raising my kids.” Spelling laughed and replied, “I need that. Can we start that for me? Educating my kids about money so they don’t turn out like me.”
Shatner offered a more traditional approach: “Let them work.” The banter continued as he inquired about her children’s skills, humorously asking if they were good at various subjects and activities, to which Spelling repeatedly replied, “Nope.”
When Shatner asked if they were good at staying home, Tori Spelling enthusiastically responded, “Yup!” Shatner joked, “So have her stay home and have people pay her to stay home and out of their lives,” to which Spelling exclaimed, “Yeah! That’s what OnlyFans is!”
The Reality Behind the Joke
While the conversation was filled with humor, it highlighted a very real issue: the high cost of education. For many parents, including Spelling, the prospect of funding multiple college tuitions is daunting. Despite the jokes, Spelling’s situation resonates with countless families facing similar financial pressures.
In the end, Tori Spelling’s humorous take on joining OnlyFans underscores the lengths to which parents might jokingly consider going to ensure their children’s futures. Her candid conversation with William Shatner offered a blend of comedy and reality, reflecting the challenges and creative solutions families contemplate when faced with the high cost of education.
