American actress Tori Spelling rolled into 2023, allegedly in a lot of debt. However, according to reports, the Beverly Hills , 90210 alum can finally heave a sigh of relief as some of the burden is off her shoulders. The actress is now free from a credit card debt of about $87,000. Here are the details of the story.

Recently, The Sun reported that for a while, Tori was in an American Express credit card debt of about $87,594.55. The unpaid credit card debt led to the company filing a lawsuit against the actress in October 2016.
