In case you missed True Tori Season 2 Episode 2, let us give you a brief recap:

It was a cringe-worthy mess, just like every other episode. It did have one unexpected surprise, however.

While cleaning out her warehouse (literally) of wildly expensive crap so that she can sell some of it to prevent her family from going bankrupt, Tori randomly decided to reach out to her ex-husband, Charlie Shanian.

Yes, amidst all the talk of Dean cheating on Tori, it’s easy to forget that she slept around on her first hubby, then left him for Dean just 15 months after their wedding.

Dean’s first wife, Mary Jo Eustace, has already popped up this season, so clearly Spelling-McDermotts have decided to mine their romantic pasts for drama now that the audience has had to endure an entire season of them howling at each other.

A cameo from Shanian would be more surprising than the Eustace pop-in, however, as dude retired from public life after his marriage to Tori ended, and it doesn’t sound like they parted on good terms:

“Fifteen months into my marriage, I open the National Enquirer to see pictures of what appeared to be my wife giving another man a lap dance,” said Shanian in one of his only interviews since the breakup.

“In the end, I didn’t screw up she did. Well, some might say, she screwed down, but that’s a matter of opinion.”

Wow. We don’t know much about this guy, but we like him!
