If any couple over the past few years seemed irretrievably lost in the marital woods, it was Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. Their troubles—both real and exaggerated—were plastered all over the tabloids, Spelling's health seemed to be suffering from the stress and they had opened their home for Lifetime's True Tori, which every week featured another installment of sobbing, yelling, accusations and the continuation of a fight that only seemed to be taking them in circles. It seemed highly unlikely that their then eight-year marriage was going to survive either their issues or the cameras. They didn't share their usual annual family holiday card in 2013 and, in 2014,...

It's been a tough year for some kids on reality shows.
From Here Comes Honey Boo Boo to Friday Night Tykes to the kids of Real Housewives with parents getting divorced or going to jail, it could be hard to understand why a parent would want to broadcast their child’s development for all the world to see -- even if they’re able to pay for college down the road with talent fees.
Child advocates who we spoke to said that there aren't enough regulations, especially for shows shot outside California, to protect kids from being overworked and exploited. Unlike the push for a "no kids" policy in paparazzi photos -- which was supported by Kristen Bell and other celebrity parents -- there’s been no coordinated campaign focused on kids on reality shows.
