Tori Spelling and Randy Spelling‘s sibling relationship was far from ordinary, with moments of intense drama and deep affection.
In a recent episode of her podcast “misSPELLING”, Tori, 51, shared a childhood memory that left her brother Randy, 45, shaken. The former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress recounted a time when she almost injured her younger brother in a fit of rage.

“You suggested the school I ended up going to because you had close friends and you said, ‘It was smaller. I think he’s really going to like it and thrive there’ and I did,” Randy recalled. “I thank you for that. You went to bat for me.”
While Hollywood is full of “nepo babies,” some celebrity kids paved their own path without the financial help of their wealthy parents.
