Tori Spelling's Early Beginnings as Hollywood Royalty

Spelling, who hails from Hollywood royalty, has spent most of her life in the limelight. Fans have scrutinized her personal and professional endeavors with every move she makes. She is one of the two children of the late film and television producer Aaron Spelling and furniture heiress Candy Spelling.

Her career began with guest roles in several TV shows, such as "Saved by the Bell," "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," and "TJ Hooker." However, her role in Fox's "Beverly Hills, 90210" propelled her to stardom.

Spelling's late father, who served as the executive producer of Fox's teenage drama series was the one who added her to the show. Because of this, Spelling's ascent to stardom was not without criticism, as TV viewers accused her and her father of nepotism.

Many perceived Spelling's success as something she didn't earn through talent or hard work but through familial connections.

In 2019, she returned to the meta-drama series "BH90210," alongside other cast members who played exaggerated versions of themselves. Nonetheless, the show appeared to have lost its popularity with the audience.

The revival of the series was Spelling's suggestion, but her idea was not the result of great creativity. Instead, it came from a mother desperate to revive the franchise because she had financial troubles.

The meta-drama series appeared reminiscent of Spelling's personal life, particularly her struggles to escape the shadow of her late father's legacy.

In 2006, she starred in "So Notorious," a sitcom that shed light on the harsh treatment of actresses in Hollywood. The sitcom also highlighted Spelling's failed attempts to prove that she was her own person and not just her father's daughter, which gave her a less-than-desirable reputation.

Several fans did not only criticize the actress for having instant Hollywood connections. Nowadays, Spelling is being slammed for her "muppet"- looking face. Most of her fans noticed that she looks like a muppet because she wears too much makeup and has had too many surgeries.

In September 2021, Spelling appeared unrecognizable while celebrating the wrap of MTV's show "Messyness" with her hairstylist Laura Rugetti, "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, and other friends.

A few people who went to the event also posted unfiltered photos of Spelling and Polizzi on Instagram, showing how they looked in real life, which was different from their online pictures.

The event with friends was followed by Spelling's Instagram post showing her sitting beside Polizzi, whom she referred to as her "messy bestie" and "twin flame." She mentioned in her post how they loved to empower each other to be their authentic selves.

The post drew negative remarks from Instagram users. Several netizens commented on Spelling's seemingly different appearance, far from her old looks from when she starred in "Beverly Hills, 90210."

"Wow. What happened to your face?????," a user asked. Another fan expressed that Spelling no longer looked like herself and raised a question about why many celebrities seem to strive for a Kardashian-like appearance.

Meanwhile, another user speculated that Spelling might have the same surgeon as the Kardashians. An observant netizen chimed in and pointed out striking similarities between Spelling's appearance and that of Khloé Kardashian.

"Cue the Muppet show theme," a netizen suggested sarcastically, while another Twitter user pointed out that Spelling resembled a "muppet," more specifically, the fictional character Miss Piggy.

However, amid the criticism, plenty of fans rallied to her defense. A fan called her "gorgeous," while another described her as "the most smashable thing." A netizen remarked that the actress was "stunning" and "beautiful."

Shortly after these criticisms, Spelling addressed fans' rumors about how her looks have changed in an interview with Jeff Lewis on SiriusXM radio. Even though she admitted that her appearance had changed, she denied having had plastic surgery.

Moreover, Spelling revealed that she underwent exosome therapy, also called cell regeneration therapy. This treatment falls under regenerative medicine, aiming to reduce inflammation, promote cellular regeneration, and modify the body's immune response.

She believed the exosome therapy contributed to her youthful appearance because she was frequently complimented on her flawless skin. She also recalled people telling her she looked like Snooki's age.

Tori had also denied looking like one of the Kardashian sisters. She said her new makeup artist, Hailey Hoff, was responsible for her new look. She told Lewis in the radio interview:

"I look like I've had a nose job. Like, it's straight now... It's all contouring."

Spelling made the comment after fans saw another Instagram photo of her and her hairstylist Laura dressed in matching blue denim jumpsuits with their long blonde hair cascading down their shoulders.

It appears that Spelling's current claims of not having undergone plastic surgeries differ from her statement in 2019 when she confirmed having had a nose job and breast augmentation in a People magazine interview.

In response to the public speculation surrounding her alleged plastic surgeries, since she was 17, Spelling clarified to the magazine that those were the only procedures she had undergone and nothing else.

Spelling's remarks about plastic surgery not only sparked fans' speculation but also elicited reactions from medical experts. Two prominent New York City plastic surgeons, Dr. Ramtin Kassir and Dr. Howard Sobel, believed the actress had her appearance enhanced.

Kassir, who gained recognition for his "designer rhinoplasty," said Spelling had more than one surgical procedure such as a nose job and a blepharoplasty or brow lift. Looking at her old picture, he added:

"She definitely did her nose again, 100 percent — unless these are so filtered [it only appears that way] —I'mt I'm just going by I'mt I'm seeing [in the photos]."

He also suspected Spelling had a facelift because her jawline looked refined, tight, and clean in contrast to her old photo. Kassir said there were no clear lines in her current photos, especially around her neck and collarbone.

While Spelling's regular fitness routine may have added to her physical transformations, Kassir insisted she had done more facial enhancements. He explained that in her' case, she might have used fillers as her neck looked really tight.

Meanwhile, Sobel, a renowned cosmetic dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital, agreed with Kassir's opinion that Spelling may have had work done on her face, particularly the use of injectables, such as fillers on her jawline and chin and Botox injections on her forehead and eyebrows.
