Tori Spelling had an awkward AF exchange with her realtor this week!
On Friday, the 50-year-old actress took to Instagram Stories to blast a man named Robert Vinson for “mocking” her family’s current housing “crisis.” And she pulled out the receipts! For those who don’t know, Tori has been experiencing a serious mold infestation in their home for months now. It’s been so bad that she revealed to fans in May that her kids were “so sick” from the issue and their home has “been slowly killing us for 3 years.” OMG!

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum was forced to stay in a cheap motel with her kids for some time after being forced to move out of the house due to mold. So on top of dealing with her marriage troubles with her husband Dean McDermott, she’s been dealing with this problem? That’s awful!
Well, her real estate agent apparently was feeling sympathetic to her situation at all! The drama started when Robert randomly sent a message to Tori that read:
“The latest bizarre inquiry.”
Of course, the momma was confused by the text and wrote back:
“I’m sorry? I’m assuming that wasn’t meant for me.”
Apparently, Robert had no clue Tori was on the other end of the phone because he then replied:
“It is more for Karen. Tori Spelling has been asking for a 1 month rental. If you follow her situation on TMZ it is all amusing.”
Not him talking smack about his client! Becoming angry, Tori fired back:
“This is Tori Spelling. Wow! Human empathy and kindness prevails. Kids in crisis is amusing.”
Clearly, she wasn’t happy with her realtor. In fact, she was so pissed she leaked the text messages on her Instagram and wrote over the screenshot:
“And, this human is a father! I guess I hold out too much hope that people lead by kindness. Shame on you Robert Vinson @vinsongroup real estate! My 5 kids are going through Mold poisoning and we need a home and this is how you treat people? Mocking their situation?”
Oof…
However, Robert is defending himself. He said in a statement to Page Six about the situation:
“Celebrity impersonation is rabid in Hollywood. As a real estate broker, I have a fiduciary responsibility to be certain of the identity of the person we are dealing with.”
The realtor claimed Tori contacted him about the one-month rental before and he asked her, “How can I confirm it is you,” since he believed it was a “scam” at first. Robert added:
“I never received a call back from the text. I am now being publicly shamed for my due diligence. I sent Ms. Spelling the following text after being bombarded with vulgar messages from her followers, ‘I am sorry about the message. I was raised by a single mother and understand the challenges you are dealing with. When you did not call me I thought I was being spoofed by someone who was pretending to be you.’”
So he believed it was a scam and thought it was still a good idea to mock her situation? Really? That is not a good look at all. Thoughts on the matter, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!
