The 'Scary Movie 2' Actress Owned Up To Causing Her Eye Ulcer

Last month, the "Mistle-Tones" actress was plagued with a health issue. She opened up about having an eye ulcer, explaining that she had caused it. The Tv personality admitted that she had partly contributed to the ailment during an episode of her "9021OMG" podcast. 

The podcaster narrated her predicament to Garth, who doubled as her cohost. "It's so silly; it's my fault; I did this to myself," she admitted before adding, "So I have contacts, but I have the daily ones, and at the end of the day, kids, whatever.… I can make all the excuses I want; I don't take them out, I sleep in them, and it's unhealthy."

Spelling's revelation prompted her cohost to guess how long she kept her contacts in. Garth thought seven days but was countered by Spelling, who told him it was incorrect and shared the actual length. In the Young Artist Award winner's words, "Seven weeks. I'm exaggerating. But I've been known to go maybe 20 days. I know you, guys, it's shaming [SIC]."

She added that her doctor informed her of how lucky she was to have walked away with the relatively simple injury of an eye ulcer. Despite the diagnosis, the "Calls for Cthulhu," the actress declared that she would give wearing contacts another chance by switching to "30-day ones when this heals."
