Yikes! As if the animosity between Candy Spelling (mother) and Tori Spelling (daughter) wasn’t already bad enough, Candy had to go and lob another accusation/attack on Tori in a new radio interview this week wherein mother publicly blamed her daughter for the death of TV producer/mogul Aaron Spelling (Candy‘s husband, Tori‘s father). Now, I like me a family feud as much as the next person (OK, I really don’t … but up until now the Candy vs. Tori thing has been marginally amusing) but this seems to be taking things a bit too far. It wasn’t that long ago that Candy Spelling released one of her famous “open letters” to daughter Tori pleading for a reconciliation … but Tori refused. Clearly, that didn’t sit well with Candy … hence, these new comments blaming Tori for Aaron‘s death. Damn. And I bet you thought your family had issues:

Everybody knows Candy and Tori Spelling had a beef, but now moms is taking the family feud to a whole new level of nasty. Appearing on a Massachusetts radio station Thursday to pimp her new book, Stories from Candyland, Candy Spelling not just bad-mouthed her 90210-starring spawn, but went so far as to blame husband Aaron Spelling’s demise on her estranged daughter. “My daughter one day decided that she wasn’t speaking to my husband, myself and my son and that’s how it’s continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years,” Candy said to 94.7 WMAS-FM’s Kellogg Krew. “And it was sad, that’s what killed my husband actually. He just didn’t want to live after that. He has just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter and she wanted no part of him once he couldn’t do anything for her.” The über-producer died June 23, 2006, following a stroke; angst was not listed as the official cause of death. Candy says that while both women have paid lip service in interviews about reconnecting, there has been no such luck thus far. “I’ve always been trying to work on the relationship. I don’t know what the anger is.” Call it a hunch, but maybe it has something to do with the accusations of patricide. We’ve been trying to get reps for Tori and Candy on the horn, but so far nada.

This is about as low as low-blows go. It’s one thing to launch personal attacks on someone else (tho, it’s pretty sad when those attacked are leveled at your own flesh and blood) but to publicly blame your daughter for the death of her father is just … shitty. I used to think that Candy was a spitfire but this is just a really crappy thing to say about your daughter. Something tells me that a reconciliation between these two grown, adult women now has an even greater likelihood of never happening … ever. I do feel bad for Tori Spelling tho … it must be really terrible to hear these sorts of attacks coming from one’s own mother. The late Joan Crawford ain’t got nothing on the Mommie Dearestness of Candy Spelling.
