During the episode of her podcast “MisSpelling” on Tuesday, March 11, Tori, 51, compared herself to “a cacti” as she elaborated on her thoughts. “Just water me occasionally, and somehow I endure,” Tori remarked. “How I am still alive remains a mystery. I don’t consume water. And when I state that I don’t drink water, I mean I don’t drink it.”

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star shared that her aversion to water originated in her childhood, when her mother, Candy Spelling, would administer medication by mixing it with Coke syrup. “I used to wonder, ‘What have you put in this? What are you giving me?’ And she would respond, ‘What, do you think I’m trying to poison you?’” Tori reminisced.

Tori, who has five children — Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, 8 — with her former husband Dean McDermott, mentioned that she compelled herself to drink water during her pregnancies since she understood the necessity to “hydrate the baby growing inside you.”

“But in my thoughts, I was saying, ‘I’m hydrating for them, not for me,’” Tori explained. “I can down a glass of wine in just a couple of seconds without issue. Yet, when I take a few sips of water gently, before I know it, I’m like, ‘I feel like I’m going to be sick.’”

Tori also mentioned that she became wary of McDermott, 58, after he recently offered her a ginger ale that she suspected might be tampered with. (The couple, who wed in May 2006, maintain a friendly relationship following Tori's filing for divorce in March 2024, just three weeks before McDermott submitted his own response.)

Even though McDermott reminded Tori that she was “the mother of my children,” Tori recounted telling him, “I was like, ‘Listen, it’s nothing personal. I feel this way about everyone.’”

Tori elaborated, “I have this strange, irrational anxiety about accepting drinks from others. I don’t classify it as a fear of water. I prefer to express that I despise water; I claim to have an allergy to it.”
