I went from relationship to relationship. I never was, like, the dating person,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to focus on building my empire, and then if a man comes around, he can fall in line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/tori-spelling-breaks-silence-on-car-accident-with-her-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tori Spelling is speaking out for the first time after being involved in a car accident in Southern California. \u201cHi, I just wanted to reach out to everyone.
