Beverly Hills 9021 Uh Oh
Television producer Aaron Spelling is being sued for sexual harassment by his former nurse. She claims he “placed his hands on her breasts, groin and genital area, exposed himself, solicited oral sex and offered her cash in return for various sex acts.”
That’s just part of the allegations against her 82-year-old former employer, but common sense tells me things didn’t go down the way she claims.
I’ve seen Spelling a couple times. The first was three years ago in Vegas (“My New Year’s W/Rickles and Spelling”) and at the time he looked like he was at death’s door. When I saw him again two years later, he looked like a Jehovah’s Witness at death’s door, refusing to go away until the Grim Reaper let him in. Now he probably looks very much like former death row inmate Charles Ray Allen does today: just a rapidly decomposing prune. The guy wouldn’t even have enough strength to lift the gargantuan rock his wife Candy sports on her hand. The point being I might believe the accuser if she said he’d copped a feel in one naughty spot or another. But there’s no way he possesses the strength and dexterity necessary to get his hands on the melons and the muffin unless she let him. At the very least, she must have done a lousy job rebuffing his advances. If a guy lays his hand on any of my jewels, it’s either going to be followed by a serious smack or some serious smacking. Depends on how hot he is.
As for the allegations he exposed himself, well, she is a nurse. I can’t even count how many times I’ve had comics whip out their shlongs in non-sexual situations. Like it is for nurses, that’s just part of the job for female comics. And so what if he did offer her money for sex? That’s not sexual harassment, although it could be deemed sexual insultment if the mega-millionaire didn’t offer her a tidy sum for a little romp.
Per court papers, the home nurse was first hired to tend to Spelling in November 2004. Shortly thereafter, she claims, Spelling began his lewd behavior, which also allegedly included masturbating in front of her, sticking his tongue in her mouth and telling her “that he had many actresses who would come into his office and perform oral sex on him.”
That last part I believe. There’s no other explanation for the career of that awful blonde actress who played Donna Martin on “90210.” But come on, he stuck his tongue in her mouth? I’ve had scores of overanxious dogs try to do that but none has succeeded. And they’re professionals with nine inch tongues. How wide does someone have to keep her mouth open for Grandpa Spelling to manage that kind of action? I don’t even think the jacking off part is a big deal. She could look away or go to another room- she had about 100 other rooms to choose from for crying out loud.
Given that he created such bed-hopping guilty pleasures as “Melrose Place,” and “Dynasty,” I don’t doubt that he’s a real horndog. And most likely he did make advances toward her but there’s a way for a woman to shoot a guy down and move on. If the behavior continues, start collecting proof, especially when it’s against someone so loaded. I’ve managed to make more than a few bucks over the years from the covert collection of information I later used against employers who fired me (yeah, the plural there is correct- “insubordination” appears quite frequently in my old employee files). But I wouldn’t have been able to retaliate if I hadn’t kept records of situations as they occurred. In this day and age of mini-cameras and tape recorders, it shouldn’t have been too hard for her to document one of the many behaviors she claims occurred. I can guarantee that if she had any actual proof like that, this whole situation would have stayed quieter than George Bush on “Jeopardy.”

- Vanessa Minnillo - beverly hills 90210 Interesting post. I came across this blog by accident, but it was a good accident. I have now ...
What you say is true, cuz it does sound like that nurse is nothing but a money-hungry skank. But then you also gotta factor in that Aaron isnt exactly a gentlemen. Remember that big ol’ scandal he created when he fired Hunter Tylo from Melrose Place (I think it was) because she was pregnant? And then it turns out when she sued him, he lost because she was already 8 months and still looked hot as hell. The thing is I wouldnt put it past him to make a little sexual harrasment, but the whole thing about how he felt her up? Tscha!
It’s 2.40am here but I had to read this before I went to bed. You’re spot on as usual – don’t these people think their stories through before they make their claims? At his age he’s probably glad of the reputation she’s furthering for him. there is another explanation for the career of that ‘awful blonde actress’ – she’s Tori Spelling. I’m thinking you might have known that and just decided to create another talking point. Whatever,great post as usual. Keep making us laugh.
Frankly, I am as puzzled as George Bush at the Math Olympics. I am as confused as Rosie Odonnell on Brokeback Mountain.
Whatever happened to refraining from judgement? This conjures memories of so many newschannel hours wasted on Kobe Bryant. I have no idea what happened there. Did he do it? Did she let him? No matter what side we choose, we condemn someone without hearing the facts.
If we hate Spelling(and many of us do), then we side with the accuser. If we are still hung-up on 90210, then we believe Spelling didn’t do it.
Motive is of no help to us, because both parties would have something to gain.
Then again, who would look suspect if Spelling and accuser worked together to parlay this into a new sexy nursing home drama for Fox?
The saddest part, we won’t have to wait until Fall because I am sure this will be all over Fox News real soon, preventing them from focusing on the usual serious journalism.
-Hola, I am a visitor of a very distant country (chile) … but though I read your blog, treats is afraid very interesting
How did you earn the title of comedian? Do you have to go to a specially ceremony or just possess enough arrogance to claim that you are funny?
From your post and comments, it at least sounds like people are being objective. I think there have been times where the fact that there is an accusation, was enough to condemn. This is not to say that there isn’t alot of pigs out there.
I hate repeating mistakes. Years ago I was at the Six Flags in San Antonio, Fiesta Over Texas. The first thing I did was ride the most exciting ride they had. I don’t recommend this because, of course, the rest of the day just can’t compete with the first few moments. Now I find that I’ve done it again. After hearing about blogs for the last few months I decided to read a few. I’ll be damned but the very first one I read is this one. I can’t even begin to describe my dissapointment in all the other blogs after reading this one first. Please, for the sake of all hapless beginners like myself, place a warning on your blog stating that this blog is for veterans only.
As for Spelling…… keep yer dirty paws off the help until you’ve come to an agreement for payment FIRST!!! You would think he would have figured that out years ago. Maybe it’s a sign that he’s lost his senses.
D.T.- I actually sided with Spelling on the Hunter Tylo situation. She was hired to play a sexpot and then she decided to get pregnant. But I guess it all depended on the wording of the contract.
abaddon1215- As someone else stated, I was pretty objective in my commentary. The question remains why did she allow all the behavior she alleges to continue repeatedly? (And I have to assume you’re joking about FOX usually focusing on “serious journalism.”)
swedophilia- You don’t really “earn” the title of comedian, that’s just what it says on the paychecks. It takes arrogance to use certain adjectives, but not nouns. So calling yourself a “model” if you’re paid to model isn’t arrogant but calling yourself a “super model” is.
Stephen- Thanks for the compliments but there are plenty of other great blogs out there. Have you checked out Dear Poker Abby?
helloo jenee…I’m the one of ur visitor.from indonesia.this is the first time I see ur blog…does it true?? i didnt hear that news here. nice blog…
Well WTF? What is the point in making all that money so you can have a stay at home nurse if you can’t jam on the one while grabbing a little ass from time to time?
I for one would counter sue for sexually negligent care. Didn’t this nurse ratchet read “The World According to Garp”?
