Tori Spelling shared a humorous and candid story about her first breast augmentation surgery on her podcast MisSPELLING, despite her Beverly Hills upbringing, she secretly had the procedure done "in a strip mall" when she was a teenager.
Responding to a listener's question, “Did you get your boobs done in a van down by the river?” — referencing Chris Farley’s Matt Foley sketch on Saturday Night Live — Spelling, 51, laughed.
“I’ve always wanted to have sex in the back of a van,” Spelling joked. “But not while getting my boobs done, and definitely not by the river. Maybe by a beautiful lake.”
Spelling then humorously discussed her various surgeries, saying, “My boobs? Which version of them? I just got them done again. I think these aren’t the ones either, gosh darn it.”
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum explained, “I think they’re okay now. My intention was to go smaller this time because, looking back to the ‘90s, I liked my boobs and wished I had kept them as they were.”
Spelling, who says she was “like, a 32B, maybe an A plus — like, or minus,” initially wanted "to make them fuller” when she had her first breast augmentation at 19.
She mentioned her “bad boyfriend” at the time, a recurring topic on her podcast, and shared that a girlfriend of his friend, who was a stripper, recommended a place. “I was so scared to tell anybody, so I went to this doctor in a strip mall. I’m not kidding. I can’t make this up.”
“I think he was a fine doctor; it was just an outpatient surgery center in a strip mall,” she explained.
At 19, Spelling felt uneasy. “I was like, ‘Uh, this isn’t Beverly Hills. What’s happening?’ I was confused. Now I know, hey, you can get everything done in a strip mall. I was concerned, but I didn’t say anything, and I got them done.”
Some famous friends cared for her post-surgery as she was too “scared” to tell her parents.
“My mom, Candy Spelling, had to come over and take care of me because, at the time, I was best friends with Carmen Electra and Alicia Silverstone, and they were taking care of me,” Spelling shared. It was Christmastime, and her friends had to go home to their families.
“I can’t even make this stuff up,” she said. “I was bandaged up, and my mom came over, and I was like, ‘I have to tell you something.’ “
Spelling said her mom “was really cool about it” and instead asked about her ankle tattoo.
“Inside, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’”
