One of the most-repeated phrases by reporters is, "I don't write the headlines."
I just saw headlines on Foxnews.com, The Huffington Post and elsewhere that read:
"Candy Spelling: Tori's Actions Killed My Husband Aaron Spelling."
I don't know who is writing the headlines, but I wish he or she would read the rest of their own stories:
"Candy Spelling is blaming the death of her husband Aaron Spelling on the heartache he suffered from daughter Tori's alleged decision to cut off contact from the family.
"I've always been trying to work on the relationship [with Tori]," Spelling said. "I don't know what the anger is. 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."Spelling went one step further however, saying Tori's abandonment ultimately cost Aaron Spelling his will to live.
"It was sad because that's what killed my husband actually. He just didn't want to live after that. You know, he had done everything ... he could possibly do for his daughter and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."
I didn't intend to create headlines. I was asked a question about my daughter not speaking with my family, and I answered truthfully. My husband was very ill, and he had stopped eating and taking liquids. He called Tori on a daily basis, and never stopped asking if Tori had returned his call. We had to say no every day.
I should have known better, but it is the truth. Next, someone will refer to it as 'patricide.' Wait, sorry. Eonline just did that.

Be the bigger person. Stop talking to the press about her. Call her and apologize for whatever she thinks went down. Tell her you miss her terribly.
Life is too short for this kind of behavior. One day it will be too late. Alot of people would give anything to have that opportunit
Candy, it's time to bury the hatchet with your daughter. If that is not going to work then take the high road and don't say anything negative about her in the press anymore.
I find her pitiful and a big disgusting
Blaming your only daughter for the death of her father in the public eye is only going to separate you more from what you supposedly love.
Why on Earth would you even insinuate something like that?
Do you remember that you have GRANDCHILD
STOP!
"It was sad because that's what killed my husband actually. He just didn't want to live after that. You know, he had done everything ... he could possibly do for his daughter and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."
Even if you believe every word to be true, a mother should always try to lessen the pain a child has to bear. You cannot state with 100% certainty your daughter's absence as a reason for your husband's death. The only purpose your statement serves is to vent anger at your daughter and place a burden of guilt on her shoulders. Nothing positive can come from that.
1. Geez. Why did I read that?
2. I can't really tell what her gripe is.
