Tori Spelling isn’t letting a lil’ old pandemic stop her from making some money
The “Beverly Hills 90210” star touted a virtual meet-and-greet for 20 lucky fans this Thursday. The catch? Each participant has to pony up $95 for the chance to gab with Spelling.
Not surprisingly, Spelling’s venture caused an almost immediate backlash on social media with followers decrying the hefty price tag during a time when so many people are struggling economically during the coronavirus pandemic.
One annoyed follower wrote: “Of course it’s $95 because during a Pandemic we all have that to spare what a bummer…”
Another commented: “People are doing free concerts and you are charging? How about you do a lottery and do random pics for the winners!!! Please!”
While another archly noted: “Damn people are dying, and you still think how to gain money from us…what you were and what you became…”
The reality star — whose father was TV mogul Aaron Spelling — and husband Dean McDermott have been plagued by financial issues for years.
She has been sued twice by American Express for failing to pay back balances of $38K and $88K. In 2017, the couple was sued by City National Bank for failing to make monthly payments on a loan.
