Dean McDermott reveals his son walked in on him having sex with wife Tori Spelling
Tori and Dean’s children were victims of cyberbullying in January after trolls posted nasty comments about their kids on a photo Tori had posted to social media.
“I am absolutely horrified and disgusted by the comments being left about my children,” Dean said at the time.
“Body shaming and bullying my children??!! What is wrong with you people??!!”
Dean opened up on his new ‘Daddy Issues’ podcast, saying that Liam had “picked up” on the bullying.
“Liam picked it up, and that’s when I really went ballistic, because it’s like, you know, it’s gonna happen,” Dean said on the podcast.
“He said, ‘Dad, am I obese?’ I said, ‘Look buddy — there’s some sick people in the world … and they need to do stuff like this. They need to say bad things about people.’”
Tori and Dean are also parents to Stella, 11, Hattie, 7, Finn, 6, and Beau, 2.
Of the haters who posted the comments, Dean said he had one message for Liam.
“‘Think about it, son. You have a busy life,’” he said.
“‘You have school, you got sports; do you think you have time to go on Instagram, scroll through the people that you’re following, and make a negative comment about somebody?’ I said, ‘No, you don’t. You don’t, and if you did, you’d fill your time with something else. So think about how sick these people are that they have to do that.’”
Married at First Sight‘s Martha also spoke out about cyberbullying this week, saying it’s something she deals with on a daily basis.
“Currently I deal with cyber bullying on a daily basis. It is by far the ugliest thing I’ve experienced,” she told her Instagram followers.
