Mary Jo Eustace has some thoughts about her ex-husband, Dean McDermottIt is Tori Spellingit’s divided.
ET’s Brice Sander spoke to Senior Bitches podcast host at the grand opening event for the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center in West Hollywood on Thursday, and she reacted to the ex-couple’s public divorce.

Although Eustace was initially coy about the ongoing drama in his family – “What are you talking about?” she joked with a laugh — she weighed in on McDermott and Spelling’s split.
“We’re so good. We’re way above nonsense,” Eustace said of her and her son, who accompanied her to Thursday’s event. “He just took the LSAT. He’s going to law school. My daughter is going to medical school. It’s the same cheesy shenanigans, so we just have no interest. Things are fine.”
The mother-son duo were all smiles throughout the event, with Eustace telling ET that “it’s the best ever” to have Jack by his side.
“It’s great to be with him. He’s my best friend. I think he’s my best friend, but he might think differently,” she said, before looking at her son, who assured, “I’m not going to discuss it.”
As for her ex, McDermott took it to Instagram last June to announce that he and spelling were separating after 17 years of marriage.
And last March, photos emerged of the pair having an emotional encounter in a warehouse. In photos obtained by ET, Spelling can be seen throwing a bag toward McDermott and crying in her car.
That same day, Spelling officially asked for divorce by McDermott. In the documents, obtained by ET, Spelling cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation, they requested spousal support and sought sole physical custody and joint legal custody of their five children – Liam, 17, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 7.
“Tori filing for divorce from Dean wasn’t a surprise to either of them. They have both been putting in effort and a plan in place for the last two years,” said a source. told ET just after. “They wanted to make sure they were both taken care of individually and also as co-parents. It’s not a volatile situation for either side and things are actually very cordial between them.
