Tori Spelling is opening up about the cyberbullying she’s experienced for over 30 years.
The actress, who rose to fame as Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, took to Instagram to discuss how her career has affected her relationship with her body image, specifically her eyes.
“My Dad always said ‘Your eyes are the windows to your soul’…I’ve never forgotten that,” Tori, the daughter of the late producer Aaron Spelling, began. “Because of that belief my Dad rarely let his actors wear sunglasses in a scene. He believed their eyes conveyed everything. All emotions. I’ve carried that motto thru my life. I always look people in the eyes. I hold their gaze always. I never look away. I’ve taught my kids to always show people respect and look them in the eyes when they are talking to them.”
The mother of five also wrote about being heavily scrutinized as a teen celebrity.
“I used to hate my eyes. When I started 90210 at 16 I was filled with low self confidence. Then, internet trolls ( yep we had them back then too!)called me frog and bug eyed,” the Scream 2 star revealed. “Being put under a microscope as a young girl in her formative years was hard. I spent years begging makeup artists on my shows and movies to please try to make my eyes look smaller. I would cry over my looks in the makeup trailer chair.”
