Fans of Tori Spelling will know she is nothing if not open and honest with fans. And sometimes this is to a fault because she has made some interesting admissions over the years (does anyone remember what she said about the anniversary gift she made for her now ex, Dean McDermott?). Still, her latest discussion about keeping a couple of frozen placentas is probably the last thing fans expected to hear.
In a recent episode of her Misspelling podcast, the Beverly Hills, 90210 actress, who is a mother to five children, admitted that there are two placentas just chilling out (excuse the pun) in her freezer. “I will comment on the last thing [that people] would think I have in my freezer, though, and that would be my placenta,” she said. “Unsure which child. There’s two in there, so unless I have the biggest placenta in the world, there’s two vats in there.”
Tori Spelling Discusses Her Frozen Placentas
Later in the podcast, she admitted that freezing the placenta after birth is “normal” and among the “fancy stuff [new moms are] supposed to do.” She continued, “They say it’s good luck to eat it, or it’s good luck to bury it, or it’s good luck to have it sent and made into that powder, and they put into pills. I’m just too lazy to send it out. It’s a thing. It’s supposed to be good for your body, and they take it out of your body, and it’s good to put it back into your body.”
It is true that consuming the placenta has become a thing, and there are many women who have opted to make it into pills. But it’s not often that you hear about women leaving their placenta in the freezer for years. Surely placentas cannot be kept in the fridge forever? And Spelling and McDermott’s youngest child, Beau Dean McDermott, is already seven. His eldest full-sibling, Liam Aaron McDermott, is 17, and his stepbrother, Jack Montgomery McDermott (whose placenta Spelling will not have had access to), is 27.
