Dean McDermott Avoids Jail In Child Support Case Only Because His Ex Showed Him Mercy

Dean McDermott was almost sent to jail on Thursday for failing to pay child support to his ex-wife.

Tori Spelling’s husband appeared in court in Los Angeles on Thursday after his former spouse Mary Jo Eustace filed a complaint claiming he stopped paying child support for their 18-year-old son Jack in October and owes her thousands of dollars.

After filing her paperwork Mary Jo said, "This has been difficult. It's very hard to stand up for yourself."

McDermott, who told the court he had “fallen on hard times”, was dramatically read his Miranda rights, which are given to those intended to be questioned in police custody, after being held in contempt of court for failing to pay.

Before sending him to jail, the judge gave the former couple an opportunity to work out a deal and Eustace withdrew the complaint, sparing McDermott jail time. He is now scheduled to pay off half of the amount he owes by Monday. Insiders told the outlet Eustace will refile her complaint as early as Tuesday if he doesn’t pay up.

 

Dean McDermott Did Coke While Son Was At Home

There has been debate about why Dean McDermott checked himself into rehab. He implied it was for sex addiction, but when he checked himself in, his ex-wife said he had a lot of demons. Radar managed to find out about some of those demons by getting their hands on a court filing from his ex that she filed back after she filed for divorce. In the pleading she says,

 “In March 1999, I went to my parents for a family gathering with Jack. Dean missed the gathering because he didn’t feel well. During the course of the event, Dean McDermott walked into the living room, threw a bag of cocaine on the table and said, ‘I have a cocaine problem .’”

“[Dean] started crying uncontrollably and was shaking and said that he should go to the emergency room,” she claimed. “I was able to calm Dean McDermott down. Dean McDermott told me he had used cocaine when he was in the house alone with Jack.”

“I called a friend who had a cocaine addiction, who helped Dean McDermott get into a support group,” she continued. “Dean McDermott committed to the support group and controlling his addiction to cocaine … for a while.”

She said that he continued to use cocaine and self-medicate throughout their marriage and was extremely violent too. Sounds like a real winner of a guy. I wonder if he has been using coke or self-medicating during the marriage to Tori. Did she also use?

Mary Jo Eustace Has A New Book - Love It

**I couldn't decide if the photo was Heather Mills or not, so just went with a different one**

I'm sure that at some point while writing her new book Mary Jo Eustace came to the conclusion that she was much better off without the king of the douches Dean McDermott aka Mr. Tori Spelling. It is because of that realization that she only slammed Dean and Tori just a little in her new book. In one portion of the book she describes how she met with Tori personally to beg her not to break up her marriage.

"I told her I thought (her) behavior thus far had been the height of insensitivity and rudeness. I tried to explain that we were a real family, with a new baby and a substantial history, and there were serious consequences to all of this...
"The toughest moment was when my husband kept calling her to see how the meeting was going. She told him it was 'going great' and joked that we were quickly becoming 'soul mates.' I left the room on that one."

Wow. Dean wasn't calling his own wife for status updates, but was instead calling his future meal ticket. I think Mary Jo shows a lot of restraint in this passage. I'm sure she is happy as hell now that he is out of her life, but at the time this meeting with Tori took place she must have been just devastated. What was Dean expecting his wife and Tori to decide? Was he having Tori end his own marriage for him? Did he think Mary Jo would give her blessing after she sat down with Tori? There are few people in the celebrity world I dislike more than Paris Hilton, but Dean McDermott is right there neck and neck with her. When Tori finally wakes up or finds some new boy toy and dumps Dean, I think he will fade faster than Lindsay Lohan's career.
