Candy Spelling recently caught an episode of her daughter's show Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood and was not impressed with how her strained relationship with her Tori had become a big plot point of the reality TV show.

Tori and Candy have been battling for years and Candy has two grandchildren through Tori, Liam and Stella, but Candy has never met baby Stella. Apparently, Tori had sent Candy a last-minute invite to Stella's first birthday party, but Candy declined. Candy later saw the episode of Tori and Dean where she saw Tori agonizing over whether or not to invite her. And, well, the following letter was sent to Tori via TMZ.

Candy writes, "A big party wasn't how I envisioned meeting my granddaughter for the first time; but, hey, this is Hollywood, and my grandchildren have become reality show props, too. At the time I emailed 'yes,' I didn't realize I was being set up for a two-parter, even though it was clear I was being invited to be part of a segment for my daughter's reality show.

Spoiler alert. Don't read this if you plan to sit through an hour of people looking at their watches and saying 'she's late.' I decided my first meeting with my granddaughter should be on home video, not primetime cable; so I emailed that i would not be attending."
