Tori Spelling Opens Up About Cyberbullies Calling Her ‘Bug Eyes’

Tori Spelling shared part of her journey towards self-love with fans in an Instagram post this week, sharing life lessons her father taught her and her newfound love for her eyes.

“My Dad always said ‘Your eyes are the windows to your soul,'” Spelling writes. “I’ve carried that motto thru my life. I always look people in the eyes. I hold their gaze always. I never look away.”

Spelling explained that her eyes used to be one of her greatest insecurities while she was first in the public eye through the show Beverly Hills, 90210.

“Internet trolls (yep we had them back then too!) called me frog and bug eyed,” Spelling writes. “Being put under a microscope as a young girl in her formative years was hard.”

According to Spelling, her 1997 Rolling Stone magazine is what finally changed her mind about her eyes. Nonetheless, she remains insecure about her facial features because of the trolls, and for the most part chooses to only photograph one side of her face.

“Our memories can’t remember physical pain but we do remember emotional, verbal, and written pain,” she writes. “That said. Here’s me. Straight on. I love my eyes now. They make me uniquely me.”
