Tori Spelling's longtime manager wants '60 Minutes' investigation after 'DWTS' elimination

Tori Spelling was eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday, and her manager wants an "investigation" into the matter.
During the Wednesday episode of Spelling's "Misspelling" podcast, Spelling's manager Ruthanne Secunda called the elimination an "outrage."
"I think it's an outrage," Secunda said in the episode, joking that she was "calling '60 Minutes' to do an investigation" and there was a "glitch in the system."
Secunda continued, saying, "If airlines can be grounded from a glitch, there could have totally been a glitch in the voting for Tori, so I'm suspicious."
Spelling, 51, who was paired with pro partner Pasha Pashkov, was eliminated during Tuesday night's "DWTS" episode, along with fashionista Anna Delvey and first-year pro dancer Ezra Sosa.

Secunda pointed out that she's "a little bitter" and "it's not an even playing field at all." She added that while she thought Olympians and athletes on "DWTS" were great, they're "used to performing in front of millions of people." Two-time Super Bowl champ, NBA legend Dwight Howard, 2024 Paris Olympics "pommel horse guy" Stephen Nedoroscik and Olympic bronze medal-winning women's rugby player Ilona Maher are the featured athletes on this season of "DWTS."
The "True Tori" star also jokingly asked if it was possible to do a "ballroom recount," as they use in politics to re-tally votes.
"I really didn't have a gut instinct that we would be voted off," Spelling said on the podcast. "Listen, I'm a realist. I came into this with no dance experience, and I didn't expect to win the Mirror Ball."
Anna Delvey's 'DWTS" run ends in doubleelimination: She never stood a chance against critics.
Spelling told fans her five children were in the audience for her final "DWTS" performance on Oscars night, where she performed to "This is Me" from "The Greatest Showman." Her appearance on the program arrived roughly six months after she and actor Dean McDermott split in March.
The estranged couple shares five children together: Liam Aaron, Stella Doreen, Hattie Margaret, Finn Davey and Beau Dean. Spelling filed to divorce the Canadian actor after 17 years of marriage in Los Angeles. Last year, McDermott announced that he and the "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor were separated.
