The 'Beverly Hills 90210' star responded to people commenting on her looks, including comparing her to former talk show host Wendy Williams—but Spelling is taking it all in stride.

Tori Spelling recently addressed online comments comparing her to former talk show host Wendy Williams and, well, she's not bothered in the least.

The Beveryly Hills 90210 star discussed look-shaming trolls on a recent episode of her podcast misSPELLING, telling her listeners she has "pretty thick skin."


She dedicated the episode to responding to fan comments and questions, prefacing:

"You can ask me anything. You can say anything, pretty thick skin."
"I do read the comments—look at me, I'm human."
"I can feel them, but I can also have a good sense of humor about them."

When a producer read out a comment that said, "She looks like a White Wendy Williams," Spelling chuckled before responding:

"I actually think Wendy Williams is very pretty."

She continued:

"She hasn't been very kind to me in the past, but she is a pretty woman and I feel bad for her situation."

In 2020, the talk show host was less than sympathetic towards Spelling's financial struggles, saying during one of her segments:

"There's nothing worse than being an heiress with nothing but clownery and buffoonery around you."

And commenting on Spelling creating Cameo videos for $95, she quipped:

"I'd pay for that. I would like to see Tori and what she does on a meet and greet."

Regardless, Spelling took the comparisons all in stride and actually agreed there is a resemblance.

"But I feel like commenting on that, you'll never be able to unsee it."
"It's one of those things that once that comment was made, I was like, 'Huh?' and then I looked and I was like, 'Oh, hmmm. Can't unsee that!'"
"Because you see what they're talking about."

You can watch the moment below.

Listeners loved that Spelling was able to brush off negative comments and find humor in them.

Spelling also revealed her kids thought she had "made it" when her name was spoken on The Wendy Williams Show when the host read the headline:

"Tori Spelling has Ebola."

Spelling recalled:

"They were like, 'Mom, you made it!'"

The podcast host also addressed comments likening her appearance to Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans in the 2004 comedy film White Chicks.

"'She looks like Marlon and Shawn Wayans in disguise in the movie 'White Chicks.'"

Again, she didn't argue with the comparisons.

"...and I'm like, 'Fair.'"

Trump's Dismissive Reaction To Concerns About Insider Trading Amid His War With Iran Speaks Infuriating Volumes

In an article for CounterPunch titled "Trump’s Casino Royale: The Iran War," Matthew Stevenson wrote:

"Given that Donald Trump conceives of the presidency as a casino—why else would he be trying to makeover the White House to look like the Bellagio?—it makes sense that his administration has turned the war with Iran into an insider-trading scheme."
"It used to be that wars were fought to make 'the world safe for democracy' or 'to end all wars' (a World War I expression), but now wars are fought so that Trump insiders can get rich quick in prediction markets or to help the president’s family (and its remittance men) corner the Persian Gulf oil market."

Pointing out who is profiting off inflating oil prices and creating false scarcity, Stevenson added:
