Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott Owe Massive Debt On Defaulted Loan
Reality stars Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are still working toward finalizing their divorce after being married for 18 years. It’s been a year since she filed for divorce, and things are still ongoing. Now, the separated couple is facing even more difficulties and debt. It seems they owe a massive amount on a defaulted loan. What happened, and how much do they owe? Keep reading to get all the details.
Tori Spelling & Ex-Dean McDermott Facing Massive Debt
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are facing more legal trouble amid their divorce. It seems they have defaulted on a loan and now owe a massive amount of debt in both principal and interest. The couple did not pay a six-figure debt that they had accrued even before their separation.
In Touch shared the news that this debt is coming back to haunt them. It was discovered that on May 16, City National Bank filed paperwork in court stating that McDermott and Spelling have not paid off their court-ordered judgment. The hefty amount continues to accrue interest as it sits unpaid.
According to the report, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge issued a default judgment against Tori and Dean on May 22, 2017, in the amount of $202,066.10. Tori was also ordered to pay an additional $17,730.56 on top of that.
Now, the new paperwork filed in court states that $219,796.66 is owed on the default judgment and another $175,596.45 in interest on top of that.

City National Bank filed the initial complaint against Spelling and McDermott in 2016, citing it as a breach of contract. The former couple took out a large loan in the amount of $400,000 in 2012. However, they failed to pay it back. The initial documents said, “Defendants materially defaulted under the promissory note by failing to pay the principal and interest owing thereunder.”
Tori and Dean did not satisfy their obligations that were listed on the loan. They ultimately defaulted when they failed to make monthly payments. Therefore, the remaining $188,803.38 loan balance was ordered to be paid immediately. It wasn’t.
Why Did They Default?
Not only did Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott default on their loan and still have an outstanding balance, but the documents also allege that Tori overdrew her checking account by $17,000. Since she bounced a check, this is why she was ordered to pay an additional amount when the judgment was decided by a judge.
The initial filing sat dormant for years until City National Bank filed the new request this month. Now, on top of working through their divorce settlement, they will have to figure out how to pay and satisfy this hefty amount of debt piled against them.

Their divorce proceedings are still ongoing and have not really had much movement in months. Both Tori and Dean were requesting spousal support and wanted the other not to receive any support. They were also both trying to get physical custody of their five children.
What do you think about Tori and Dean having this massive debt stacked against them that continues to grow?
