Dean McDermott accused of cheating with cooking staff; Tori Spelling is not the only victim
Apparently Tori Spelling is not the only one who got cheated on from her husband, Dean McDermott.
According to TMZ, McDermott has also been cheating out the people who created his new cookbook, hiding the tons of money he got for the project.
McDermott, who is the father of 5, is now hosting a show in Canada. The show is compared to the U.S. show, Chopped, but is Canadian style, and ratings so that the show is doing well, thanks to his marital issues.
According to the site, Harlequin publishing company saw a good opportunity, and decided to make a cookbook deal with him.
McDermott, who is the author of the book, entitled, The Gourmet Dad describes the book as a personal account of a guy's guy who cooks for his family.
Sources connected to the cookbook deal are revealing that, McDermott received an advance of more than $250,000 from Harlequin, but part of that money was to help the reality TV star pay for all the expenses. But when it came to paying the people who put blood, sweat, and tears into the book, the story got more interesting.
According to records, McDermott cheated:
"-- Photographer ... $33,319.80
-- Food Stylist ... $14,648.74
-- Prop stylist ... $6,609.91
-- Canadian taxes ... $6,613.40"
The cheated victims claim they've called McDermott multiple times, and sent him emails, and texts but he's ignoring them.
Staffers that worked on the Chopped show have been treated unfair. TMZ claims that they McDermott live in their homes for free during the book and show projects, evening feeding the father of 5.
Now McDermott is being called, "The biggest mooch in Toronto."
Plans for a lawsuit are in order, the photographer is asking for an injunction, preventing McDermott from using the photos taken by the photographer, until he's paid.
