Tori Spelling got very candid about her money struggles on the latest episode of her "misSPELLING" podcast, confessing to guest William Shatner, "I’m gonna have to go on OnlyFans in order to get [my kids] into college."

The actress — who shares daughters Stella, 16, and Hattie, 12, as well as sons Liam, 17, Finn, 10, and Beau, 7, with estranged husband Dean McDermott — noted that higher education is "inordinately" and "crazy" expensive.

Tori Spelling and estranged husband Dean McDermott share five children.

Shatner, 93, wasn't familiar with the online platform, which the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 51, explained as, "I guess, originally, it was more women in the field — not s-- workers, but along those lines."

"But OnlyFans transformed into — now there’s comedians and there’s chefs ... and it’s videos, and people pay," the mother-of-five elaborated. "It’s, like, you could subscribe. But a lot of actresses do it now, and they show things."

"I need that. Can we start that for me?" she asked. "Educating my kids about money so they don’t turn out like me."

The actress hasn't shied away from discussing her money woes over the years, explaining that growing up in her super wealthy family is likely to blame for her issues.

"I don't want sympathy, but I was taught or I wasn't taught how to function in the real world and I'm doing the best I can," she spilled on another podcast episode. "I want to tell you something that's not going to be shocking: I'm not good with money. I suck with money. I didn't even know how to write a check until I was in my 40s."
