It’s no secret that Tori Spelling and her mother Candy have had their ups and downs over the years. The fact that both of them are so high-profile in Hollywood means that much of what they do – from relationships to affairs to financial troubles – ends up in the public domain.

At the end of February it was revealed that Tori had finally moved into a comfortable, five-bedroom rental home in Woodland Hills, California, after spending months crashing in motels and living out of an RV with her children, per British media.

When news of Tori’s financial woes and living situation came to light, many netizens took to social media to express their confusion. After all, Tori’s mother is a multimillionaire sitting on a hefty inheritance thanks to her late husband (more on that later).

Either way, things appear to be looking up for Tori – at least for now.

Here’s what we know about Candy Spelling, her relationship with her kids, and why things have turned out this way.
