Tori Spelling and Carmen Electra Put Listening Devices on Exes’ Phones to Catch Them Cheating

Tori Spelling and Carmen Electra were quite the spies in their younger days, it seems.

“I had a boyfriend — and this is so wild,” Spelling, 51, declared during the Thursday, April 17 episode of her “Misspelling” podcast. “I was best friends, this is random, Carmen Electra, and I was best friends with her. I’m talking when I was like 19, and I had this bad boyfriend.”

Electra, now 52, also had a “bad boyfriend,” and he was best friends with Spelling’s man at the time.

“They were always going off and gambling,” Spelling continued. “She and I would just be homebodies at home. I went to a spy store because I was like, I know my boyfriend is cheating on me. We got a listening device, put it on the phone and recorded.”

Electra and Spelling got together after the fact and had a “moment of truth” about their respective boyfriends.

“Instead — I mean, my boyfriend was cheating on me — but found out her boyfriend was cheating on her,” Spelling recalled.

The walk down memory lane came while Spelling was interviewing Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Britani Bateman for Thursday’s podcast episode. Bateman, 53, noted that she had also previously bugged an ex’s phone.

This led into Housewives conversation with Spelling asking Bateman about claims made from fellow RHOSLC star Meredith Marks. (A January episode of RHOSLC, showed Marks asking if Bateman put a “recording device” in her hotel room during a cast trip.)

“To find out that Meredith was looking like all over her room with Heather for a listening device. I mean, that kind of stuff. I’m like, ‘Really?’ Come on, Heather,” Bateman said during Thursday’s episode. “It’s so ridiculous that it’s almost not even insulting. It’s just like, OK, that tells me much more about you than it does about me.”

Bateman said the whole situation was “so silly,” before doubling down on her claim from the show.

“Literally got woken up in the middle of the night,” Bateman claimed again. “This is a true story. I heard someone throwing up, and it was Meredith, through the wall. There was no listening through the door or the wall.”

Spelling clarified, “So they thought you put a listening device. You had gone to some spy store.”

Spelling — a fan of RHOSLC — also spoke with Bateman about a different scene from the same episode. Bravo fans will recall Bateman recording a video from inside a sprinter van with the full cast. Bateman was immediately clocked — and yelled at by her costars.

“It is infamous, you recording,” Spelling noted.

“I’m not sure how much I can speak to it. “Something about that comes out this season,” Bateman said. “We may or may not be filming and things may or may not be coming out about the recording in the van.”
