CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA: Tori Spelling is once again under fire after sharing an unusual parenting moment involving her 7-year-old youngest son, Beau.

The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' alum posted an Instagram Story showing herself partially covered in a pink blanket while her son massaged her legs—something she said he did in exchange for his allowance.

Spelling’s post quickly made the rounds, with many calling it “wrong” and “creepy.”

"She has always seemed a little off. But this is SICK," one fan commented.

"Ewwww. . that is so creepy. Wth," another wrote.

"She's not only lazy, she has oatmeal for brains..." questioned another critic.

One fan chimed in, "No kid should be rubbing any part of an adult's body. It's just wrong and creepy as hell."

Another added, "$he’s just so NA$TY."

Someone else noted, "Don't have five kids if you can't care for them properly."

Tori Spelling’s lazy mom hacks 

This isn’t the first time Tori Spelling’s parenting style has raised eyebrows.

On her 'MisSPELLING' podcast, she previously admitted to dressing Beau in his school clothes the night before to save time in the morning.

“It's so bad. I've gotten so lazy with my youngest one because there's so many that at night I put him in his clothes for the next day," she said with a laugh.

Spelling said she convinced him it was a “cool” trick, adding, “So, he has dinner, he takes his bath—sometimes—but then I'll be like, ‘Hey, dude, it will save an extra five minutes if we get dressed now and then you can sleep later.’”

On an April episode of her podcast, Spelling got candid about her close bond with Beau, the actress revealing that she once had Dean McDermott keep her company while she used the bathroom—a habit that, following their split, has now shifted to her children.

Sharing that she hasn't "pooped [or] peed alone in 18 years," Spelling explained as per People, "First it was Dean, then it was kids."

"Beau still stands there and stares and talks to me while I'm pooping," she said on her podcast. "I think I function better with people."

"Is that co-dependent?" the mom of five asked herself, before answering, "Yes. Cool."

Spelling, 51, is currently going through a public and messy divorce from her estranged husband, McDermott, with whom she shares five children, Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau.

She has openly discussed the challenges of solo parenting and financial struggles, often using humor to address criticism.
