Spelling Home Not For Sale

Aaron Spelling’s widow, Candy, has denied reports that she is selling their mansion less than two weeks after his death.

It was reported earlier this week that Candy Spelling had secretly placed the mansion dubbed, The Manor, on the real estate market. The asking price? A mere $150 million. Spelling’s camp has slammed the rumors and Candy said in a statement, "I am deeply saddened and disappointed by the rumors and stories that have emerged claiming that I have my home up for sale." The statement went on to read, "I am forced to respond during this sensitive time that these stories are not true, nor do I have any current plans to sell the house that my husband Aaron and I built. I find it disheartening to wake up and find camera crews on the street filming my front gate for the morning news, particularly since the story is not true."

The home was reportedly built in 1991 for $41 million including the price off the land. It is said to have over 100 rooms including three kitchens, a doll museum, a theater, a bowling alley, and a room dedicated only to gift-wrapping. The house also features an eight-car double garage, a swimming pool, six formal gardens, a gazebo, and a greenhouse among other "necessities." Sources say that even though Candy Spelling has denied reports that the house is for sale, it really is privately being shopped.

Candy Spelling has berated the press for their treatment of the Spelling family following the TV mogul’s death. She continued on in the statement, "In light of my husband’s recent passing, the media’s tabloid treatment and coverage of this and my family during this week while we mourn the loss of my husband is shameful, disgraceful and dishonorable. Aaron was a friend to the press and always took the time to speak openly with them and was very cooperative. Aaron did not deserve to have his legacy tarnished by this and the other inaccurate information reported over the past two weeks." Understandably, she is upset…but Tori Spelling is the one who rushed forward about five-minutes after her father’s death to speak freely about the family feud and her mother’s alleged affair. As for the media…they are just trying to do their job!
