In Dec. 2013, McDermott engaged in an affair with a woman named Emily Goodhand while in Canada. A few weeks later, Goodhand went public with her story, claiming to have slept with McDermott, who is a father of four, at a Toronto hotel. Goodhand also revealed McDermott told her he and Spelling had a sexless marriage.
Following his affair, McDermott began to plan his suicide.
“I was driving around in my truck with a loaded 9 mm. I was put on a 5150 at the UCLA psych ward,” he recalled. “[My son] Liam had a performance and I didn’t want to miss that performance… I had plans that night to do it.”
Also in the interview, McDermott revealed plans to walk away from his gig on True Tori, a series created after the affair, which was meant to document his and Spelling's efforts to get their marriage back on track.
“We have five more shows left. I can’t do this anymore,” he confessed. “I can’t keep opening a vein, opening my soul and sharing my feelings and thoughts and demons with the world. I don’t watch it. I can’t. It’s really difficult. I can’t do it anymore, for my soul.”
True Tori is currently airing on Lifetime every Tuesday night at 9 p.m.
