Tori Spelling recently opened up about a significant and risky decision she made as a teenager regarding her first breast augmentation surgery.
During an episode of her “misSpelling” podcast, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum revealed that she had her initial breast surgery performed at a local strip mall.
“My first boob job, I had a friend at the time,” she recounted.
“It was the bad boyfriend I talk about, it was his friend’s girlfriend, and she was like, ‘Oh you just have to go to this place.’ I went to this doctor, and it was in a strip mall. I can’t make this up. I think he was a fine doctor. It was just an outpatient surgery center in a strip mall. I was 19, so I was like, ‘Uh, this isn’t Beverly Hills,’ I was confused,” she added.
Despite her confusion, Spelling did not voice any concerns. “Of course, I didn’t say anything. I got them done and [my friends] took me home,” she explained. “At the time, I was best friends with Alicia Silverstone and Carmen Electra, and they were taking care of me. I can’t even make this stuff up, you guys.”
Spelling eventually had to have her implants redone. “My whole intention of getting them redone was to go smaller,” she said. “Looking back in the ’90s, I liked my boobs, I wish I had just kept them. I was like a 32B, maybe like an A+ or minus. I just wanted to make them fuller.”
This isn’t the first time Spelling has been candid about her physical transformations. In April, the actress admitted to using Type 2 diabetes medication to aid in weight loss after the birth of her fifth child.
“I tried Ozempic, and it didn’t work for me,” she revealed on her “misSpelling” podcast. “So, I went on Mounjaro, which did do the trick, and I did lose weight.”
With celebrities increasingly open about using antidiabetic medications for weight loss, Spelling felt comfortable sharing her own experience. “It’s a different time, so I don’t feel shamed saying that.”
Spelling began taking Mounjaro in 2017 after the birth of her son, Beau. She is also mother to four other children: Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, and Finn, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Dean McDermott.
“At my heaviest, I was 120 pounds my entire life,” Spelling noted on her podcast. “And after Beau, I was 160 pounds. I couldn’t lose the weight, and the doctor was like, ‘Well, it’s an age thing.’”
Now, Spelling is satisfied with her weight. “I’m happy with my weight,” she said. “I did go off of it because I had hit my ideal weight and I felt like I didn’t want to get any thinner.”
Spelling’s candidness about her breast augmentation and weight loss journey just goes to show that celebrities are just like you and me – they certainly aren’t perfect!
