Tori Spelling blames ‘jerk’ son Liam, 17, for ‘porn massacre’ Elf on a Shelf prank

Tori Spelling opened up about a common family joke from her teenage son.

The 51-year-old actress opened up about a rough family time during her Christmas Eve episode Wrong Spelling Podcast.

She revealed she got a shocking surprise one morning when her son Beau, seven, showed her the Elf on the Shelf display.

She compared what she saw to the 1978 porn film Debbie Does Dallas.

“I walk into the kitchen and the elves are there and there’s a porn massacre going on,” the actress said.

‘The elves all did different things to each other. Mouths in different places, mouths where they shouldn’t be. Some were upside down, all the way around.”

‘There were beef sticks and cheese sticks involved…and there was some ranch dressing [and oil involved],” Tori explained.

Tori’s 17-year-old son Liam was behind the raunchy display and called him a “jerk,” while also admitting she found it “funny.”

Tori had to stifle her laughter around her seven-year-old son and asked Liam to tone it down with the X-rated displays.

‘As I was laughing inside – and it was very funny – and I was taking pictures and sending them to all my friends, I thought, ‘You have to cut back on the dirt.’

That didn’t deter him and not long after she found the Elf in another compromising position.

‘The elves all stood in a circle [surrounding reindeer] and I was like, “Oh man, Liam, you’re a jerk,” she commented.

In addition to Liam and Beau, Spelling shares son Finn, 12, and daughters Stella, 16, and Hattie, 13, with her second ex-husband, Dean McDermott, 58.

The Elf on the Shelf incident comes after Tori admitted to having a lot of “mom guilt” over the fact that her and her children’s lives are not stable.

During a previous episode of her MisSpellng podcast, Tori explained that she had been working hard on a project for months.

She asked her children to help around the house and regrets that most of that work falls solely on her 16-year-old daughter Stella.

“When I’m at work and I’m gone all day, it’s a big responsibility for my 16-year-old to really supervise the family,” she said. “I feel really guilty when I get home at the end of the day.”

“People have babysitters or nannies or housekeepers or things like that, but we’re just us. I know it’s probably very difficult for the public to understand, but it’s true.

Her guest that day was Dr. Hillary Goldsher, a psychotherapist in Beverly Hills, and Tori took her mother’s guilt to the licensed professional.

‘As a parent, work was financially very stable for a long time. I had multiple shows and multiple product lines and brands and was just a workhorse in an empire.”

‘Then I had four of my children and they couldn’t see another side. They could be living a certain life that I was providing for them through my work, and suddenly things weren’t stable anymore.”

But now, due to the ups and downs of a career in entertainment, her income is “financially neither consistent nor stable.”

“With five children, I feel like I’m sorry. I constantly let them down because my life is not stable. Their lives are not stable,” she argued.

I can give love in abundance, but unfortunately they are on this roller coaster with me.”

“I’m so used to having such outwardly harsh reactions to my life, no matter what,” the Scary Movie 2 actress said.

“They are on this journey with me and I can’t keep things from them. I have kids old enough to read stuff online. They read the fake stuff, but they read the semi-accurate stuff and they read the real stuff.

“And I’m not saying poor me – here I am defending myself again – but I feel like ever since my soon-to-be ex-husband and I broke up, it’s been fight or flight.”

“It’s been constant with five kids,” the Dancing with the Stars alum continued. “And whether it’s emotional, physical or financial, we’ve just been working on it.”

“When life throws unexpected things at you every day, you think, ‘Oh, I’m past that.’ And then suddenly you have a plan, boom. And it’s day by day.’
