The son of TV star Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott was admitted to a hospital after experiencing “pain” and being “immobile” following an incident that occurred at home. The mom of five has spoken out and unveiled details about what happened.

The teenage son of TV star Tori Spelling, 50, was admitted to a hospital to undergo surgery. According to an Instagram Story post made by his doting mom, Liam McDermott, 16, had to have the operation done as a result of an injury that occurred at home.

Spelling’s post showed her son, who also received a visit from the family doctor, lying in a hospital bed after the successful surgery on his foot and ankle. In the picture, she also thanked and credited the amazing team of medical professionals involved in the operation.

In the second post she made to her Instagram Story, Spelling explained the incident that prompted Liam needing the surgery in the first place. According to the mom of five, “Liam fell down the stairs at home and has been in pain and immobile since. 6 weeks + no healing…and Liam’s navicular accessory fractured bone in right foot needed to be removed and then tendon reattached to his main bone with a metal hook rod.”

She also thanked the many people who have been reaching out with well wishes and supportive messages as Liam recovers, on both her behalf and his.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star also previously shared the adversities Liam has faced, which affected his physiological health. In a lengthy caption, Spelling divulged that her son, like her daughter, Stella McDermott, has been a constant target of severe bullying at school.

Upon graduating from Encino in 2019, Liam’s principal called him lazy and unmotivated. This affected him to the point where he believed he was incompetent despite this not being the case.

To add insult to injury, when the 16-year-old started middle school, he was severely bullied to the point where he developed hectic headaches and stomach aches from emotional distress. Eventually, receiving no help from the school, Liam had to leave.

Since splitting with her estranged husband, Dean McDermott, Spelling has had to juggle raising five kids independently. Of her responsibilities when it comes to her children, she expressed, “A lot of times, I find myself trying to do everything myself…”

However, she luckily has a supportive friend group she can rely on for help from time to time, and although she and Dean are no longer romantically linked, she said she can still split caretaking roles with him.
