Now I am familiar with Tori, having watched all the seasons of Tori & Dean, read her first book and caught up with 90210. Tori fascinates me because she seems both smart and naive- a television princess who carved her own path but stumbled quite a bit on the way. Her childhood stories were incredible and definitely painted Candy as overly perfectionist and distant (both from Tori and the real world). And I understand why Candy has emerged to tell her own story- it's obviously not for the money, maybe for the attention.
In her book, Candy paints herself as a shy (she even stumbled a bit during her speech) traditional young woman groomed to be the perfect wife and mother. With a respectable honestly she admits to being a trophy wife and to enjoying the role in the background.
There is also this amazing unconscious acceptance of her enormous wealth. Going to Europe? Why not take 30 pieces of luggage? Why not have a gift wrapping room or an endless list of collections? Why not? That's the part I can't understand- living in that type of extreme luxury. She also had a bone to pick with Tori and repeats over and over that her daughter has "millions" and shouldn't be disgruntled. But personally it's easy to see how that level of money could disrupt familial relationships. Complicated, indeed.
Candy in person seemed like a very mannered and nice lady but she also seemed like the type of woman you do NOT want to cross. It would terrify me to eat dinner with her because she's the type that would notice every single etiquette mistake. It seems obvious that Tori's main sin was airing the dirty laundry. But then again, she is the daughter of a television mogul who made it rich on melodrama...
