Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott will openly discuss their troubled sex life during the upcoming True Tori docu-reality series, which premieres Tuesday at 10PM ET/PT on Lifetime.

In a teaser clip released by Lifetime, Spelling, 40, and McDermott, 47, sit down to talk with a therapist in attempt to work on their rocky relationship. Spelling is still reeling from her husband's December affair when he had cheated on her with a 28-year-old woman named Emily Goodhand while away on business.

"We have four kids, so in the sex department there were ebbs and flows," McDermott explained in the clip.

"Is that safe to say?" the Chopped Canada host asked his uneasy wife.

"We had a great relationship and we had a great sex life," Spelling countered.

"We would have sex once every two weeks," McDermott argued. "It wasn't fantastic."

Spelling's appalled reaction said it all.

"What?! What did I say?" a confused McDermott questioned defensively.

The therapist was then shown interrupting the couple's conversation to offer up her own opinion.

"Dean, your expectations of what a marriage is supposed to be like sexually -- it's like a fairytale," the therapist told him bluntly.

"I can never give him enough sex," Spelling said as she started to cry. "He's never going to be happy with just me."

"I'm insatiable. Sex was an escape, just like drugs and alcohol," McDermott admitted, taking ownership of his mistake. "I was out of control."

Spelling then hesitantly asked her husband, "But I don't understand, why her?"

"I wasn't attracted to her," McDermott said of Goodhand. "It was just like a warm body."

"I'm mad, like, I'm really mad," Spelling noted.

"My worst nightmare is what I did, absolutely," McDermott said. "I cheated on my wife. That's my worst nightmare."

"Or that you got caught?" Spelling dared to ask.

After a moment of pause, McDermott seemed to give in.

"I -- I don't know," the reality TV star replied in defeat.


The couple began filming True Tori only days after McDermott left rehab. He had checked himself into a rehabilitation center in January after regretfully having sex with Goodhand a month earlier. The series will basically air in real-time, as the show debuts three short weeks after cameras began taping.

"A part of her wants to completely humiliate him and make him suffer in front of millions of people. She wants to have some sort of justice. She wants him to truly feel the pain of what he did to her," a Spelling friend told People earlier this month.

"She's in a total crisis mode. If she can believe that his addiction has nothing to do with her, then maybe they can move on. But there's no way Dean wants to be humiliated on television for cheating on his wife. His life is basically a nightmare."

True Tori was reportedly all Spelling's idea.
