Tori Spelling reveals she cooked and ate her placenta along with ex Dean McDermott
On Friday's episode of 'misSPELLING,' the 'Beverly Hills, 90210' actress made her admission in response to an email from a listener asking what "the last thing anybody would think" she had in her refrigerator.
With eagerness, Spelling turned to what was in her freezer instead. "That’d be my placenta," she revealed, per HuffPost.
"Unsure which child, there’s two in there," Spelling said. "So unless I have the biggest placenta in the world, there’s two vats in there. And this is normal! Y’know, ’cause there’s all that fancy stuff — they say it’s good luck to eat it, or it’s good luck to bury it."
To make matters even more alarming, Spelling revealed that she and her former husband, Dean McDermott, had previously prepared a dinner out of one of her placentas.
"One time ... my ex and I was on board, we cooked the placenta and ate it."
"People do it all the time, and Dean's an amazing chef. So I mean, it was like, a little truffle oil, little salt and pepper. He cooked it and seasoned it and it was actually really good," she said, per TooFab.
Spelling and ex-husband McDermott share five children together: Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7.
The actress said that placing the placenta, a transitory organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy and attaches itself to the fetus through the umbilical cord, "back in your body" is thought to be beneficial.
She added, "It's supposed to be good. It's something that's good for your body, and they take it out of your body, and it's good to put it back in your body."
Tori Spelling reveals storing several placentas for more than seven years
The 51-year-old former '90210' cast member disclosed on her 'misSPELLING' podcast on Friday, June 28, that she had been keeping two placentas in her freezer, though she isn't certain which child's birth they are from.
The former reality star admitted that the placentas were not from the birth of her youngest child in 2017, and she mentioned that another one of her placentas is being preserved at a friend's residence.
The actress continued by expressing regret to her "best friend Jess" for storing her youngest son's placenta at Jess's residence, per People.
Spelling said, "His is still in her freezer... I said, ‘Jess, can you take the placenta home because they’ve given it to me and I don’t know what to do with it?’ So she, like a proper best friend, did take it home."
However, Spelling admitted that her friend had requested her to reconsider multiple times over the past seven years. "I'm going to one day," declared the actress.
"The ones in my freezer currently, I don't know. We move a lot, so unfortunately a couple got lost," she continued. "Imagine they got lost or left at a rental. Imagine you open up a freezer and...that would be interesting to put on eBay."
Since launching her podcast in April, Spelling has been revealing secrets to her audience.
