Mary Jo Eustace Pens Story of Dean McDermott Betrayal
Attention, Simon Monjack haters: perhaps it's time you spewed your venom at someone else deceitful.
Mary Jo Eustace will be glad to give you a candidate: Ex-husband Dean McDermott.
The pair were happily married - having recently pulled an Angelina Jolie and adopted a child - when the second rate actor left her last year for Tori Spelling. On Mary Jo's birthday, no less. She spoke to People magazine about the incident.
"I came home, and somebody called me and said there was going to be something in [New York Post gossip column] Page Six, and I didn't even know what Page Six was," Eustace said. "So it just kind of exploded. ... I was offered several publishing deals to do a book, and I turned them down."
But Eustace, who now lives in Canada with kids Jack and Lola did write "a comedy script loosely based on my situation," and it is being looked at as a possible series; perhaps one to compete with Tori and Dean's nauseating reality show, Inn Love.
In the meantime, she has also written an essay for a new anthology called The Other Woman, which features stories from 21 women about betrayal. Kim Kardashian can probably relate to it based on the Ray J sex tape leak. Here's an excerpt:
When The Other Woman Is Tori Spelling
When Dean called me from the set [of his TV movie], he told me how great he was getting along with his costar Tori Spelling. She was fun, caring and much hotter in real life. I assumed this was good. Before he left, jokes flew at the prospect of working with the daughter of a Hollywood mogul. I suggested he befriend her. "Who knows?" I laughed. It might be good for his career.
Now here he is, back. We're on vacation and I'm wearing my bikini with saggy faded bottoms. I know something is wrong. "Have you met someone?" I ask. He nods yes. "Is it Tori Spelling?" He nods. "We're soulmates," he says. "She loves me unconditionally."
"What conditions?" I scream. "You've only known each other three weeks." (The Hollywood Gossip finds this to be a better point than even the ones Simon Cowell just made about Britney Spears.)
I look down at my baby daughter. "We just adopted a baby." The phrase single mother pops up in my brain. I start to feel weightless as I cross the divide between together and alone.
"I'm not leaving the kids," he says. "I'm leaving you."
I begin to sob. I actually begin to worry that maybe it's all because I look fat. Maybe he was undecided, and this dreadful bikini sealed the deal.
Hey, Mary Jo, we doubt that's true. But you can talk to Janet Jackson if you wanna see how to lose weight.

Yeah Torri and Dean are good together on T.V. But to just up and leave a women you have been with for 12 years had one kid with and adopted another does not seem right. If he was unhappy, he should have gotten a divorce sooner. But like others have said there are two sides to a story. Also torri was cheating on her husband too. No one will never know what really happened but the people apart of the situation. Maryjo should be mad, how everything happened was so F up for Maryjo it seems in the media. She seems like the only one that got hoodwinked. Hopefully Maryjo's kids wont get too badly affected by this becuases torri's kids wont be affected. Hope the best for both sides.

I hope you have found happiness. When a person finds happiness after a major disappointment its much easier to move on.

Mary joe, if you are reading this post, this is what I think.Feel blessed that Dean is gone from your life.He is as ugly on the outside as he is on the inside. There is NO love ,he is making babies so he has eternal attachment to Tori. They are both pigs and spineless cowards the way they ended their relationships.This marriage will not last and the divorce is going to be very ugly. You wanna bet? And by the way, Deasn already cheated on Tori. With whom? Who cares? It is done

Mary Jo you are a very lovely lady. I can relate to everything you have been through. The very same thing happened to me about 6 months after it happened to you. I was devastated to say the least. I had years of therapy over it. That had to be my lowest time in my life. But now I look back at the new married couple (my ex) and I see they are so very miserable. And I just sit back and thank my best friend Karma for helping me through it all. I wish you the best Lady. And remember not everything like this has a happy ending.

People are so judgmental , you don't know both sides of the story so shut up I watched the show for the first time and I liked it they seem very much in love and anyway who cares about ur comments it's not like ur getting paid . Like they are to be watched by thousands, or maybe millions of viewers so womp womp. !!!!

I really cannot get over some of the hurtful things people have written on here to you. Everyone has a choice on how they (choose) to respond to a situation/person. If you are not happy with your current situation or life you do not break free from your responsiblilities/commiments & start a new life. It shows lack of principle & values. It's instant gratification & to hell with who we hurt. If he truly wasn't happy in his 12 yr marriage he should of either talked to you about it & tried to get counseling or see if it's that he is not happy with himself. And same with Tori's first marriage. I truly hope you can come to terms with all you've been through. And that you find true happiness in your life. No one deserves to be treated like that--12 yrs is a long commiment.

He will end up doing the same thing to Tori some day and she will deserve it. This man is such an opportunist. What exactly does Tori think she has some prize? Who would even want a man that would do this to his family and wife. And by the way, Tori is not cute, she looks like a frog and has bulging eyeballs. I'm sorry you had to go through this but believe me you are better off without him. Soulmate....are you kidding me?

Mary Jo, I think it is so much better that you are not with Dean anymore, he is such a loser and Tori is highly, highly annoying. You are solid and graceful and I hope you find or have found someone who makes you much happier because Dean is a big Idiot. They are both idiots. I just caught a part of their last movie together, and its such a joke! What happened sucked, the pain you went through sucked, but thank goodness you have moved on! Good for you!

So much judgement going on here. Must be nice to be so perfect! It did not work out between Dean and his wife and I believe Tori was married as well. Okay so they left their spouses and have a new life together. Why is this anyone's business anyhow? And for those who a still bitching about being left by their cheating spouse get over it and be happy that someone that was not happy with you is no longer in your life. There is no such thing as "breaking up a happy home". If your home was so happy then it could not be broken. No such thing as a "husband stealer". Unless he was forced into leaving you to be with someone else, accept the fact that it just did not work out with you and him. Stop blaming everyone but yourself. You were part of it too.

I am a huge fan of Tori's and now Dean's as well. You need to face it that you made dean unhappy and now that he's with Tori he is HOTTER than ever. When he was with maryjo he was so plain and conservative.
