Tori Spelling has reportedly gone radio silent on her friends following her split from husband Dean McDermott.
“Tori has not been returning calls and has kind of gone AWOL, which has her close friends worried sick,” an insider told the Daily Mail Thursday.
According to the outlet, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum’s loved ones are concerned as she’s believed to be staying at a $100-a-night motel in the Los Angeles area with her five kids: Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6.
“Dean is also taking up some issue with the kids being with Tori at these motels,” the source added.
“He thinks that the kids should be at home and not motel hopping with Tori. He just believes that this is not what is best for them at this time.”
Reps for Spelling and McDermott did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The report comes after Spelling moved her family out a rental home earlier this year after discovering an “extreme” mold infestation, which she said caused her children to suffer respiratory infections, allergy-like symptoms and skin rashes.

In May, she sought recommendations for a lawyer after claiming that the mold was “slowly killing” her family.
As for her relationship with the former “Chopped Canada” host, he announced their divorce via Instagram in June after 17 years of marriage.

“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own,” McDermott wrote in the since-deleted post.
“We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time.”
The duo’s relationship had been murky for years, with rumors of marital issues first starting in March 2021 when the “Scary Movie 2” actress was spotted without her wedding ring.
That September, the “Due South” actor addressed the breakup speculation on the “Feminine Warrior” podcast, insisting there were no issues.
The “Due South” actor announced their divorce last month in a since-deleted Instagram post.

“It’s just weird that people need to know,” he said. “‘What’s going on with Tori and Dean? She’s not wearing her ring.’ Why do you need to know that? How is that going to affect your day?”
At the time, McDermott, 56, claimed that he ignores the rumblings and lets people think what they want.
Meanwhile, insiders close to the estranged couple were shocked by the recent news of their split, claiming that it “came out of the blue” after they had spent months working on their marriage.
“Their friends have seen their ups and downs through the years, but they really did seem to be in a good place,” a source told People last month.
“This feels really out of the blue. If this had happened a year ago, it would’ve been expected because things were terrible between them,” the insider continued.
“Sure, they still had their disagreements and didn’t always see eye to eye, but the past six months things had felt good between them.”
