Wow. This is enough to make the Linda and Brooke Hogan seem like a close-knit mother and daughter.
Appearing on a Massachusetts radio station, 94.7 WMAS, yesterday to shill for her new book, “Stories From Candyland,” Candy Spelling didn’t merely bad mouth her daughter; she pretty much blamed the 90210 star for the 2006 death of her father. SERIOUSLY.
“My daughter one day decided that she wasn’t speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that’s how it’s continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years,” Candy said. “And it was sad, that’s what killed my husband, actually. He just didn’t want to live after that. He [had] just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter, and she wanted no part of him once he couldn’t do anything for her.”
Yes, referring to her own daughter’s actions, Candy actually said: that’s what killed my husband.
Candy Spelling has set the bar of awful mothering extraordinarily high. Good luck reaching it, Dina Lohan and Denise Richards!
In an attempt to garner more publicity for her joke of a memoir clarify her statement, Candy wrote the following for The Huffington Post:
“I didn’t intend to create headlines. I was asked a question about my daughter not speaking with my family, and I answered truthfully. My husband was very ill, and he had stopped eating and taking liquids. He called Tori on a daily basis, and never stopped asking if Tori had returned his call. We had to say no every day.”
We can only think of one response to these galling statements:
Anyone that purchases Candy Spelling’s book should be stoned on the spot.
