"We are deeply saddened that, during our time of loss and grief, we are forced to respond to the media frenzy caused by the mean-spirited and surprising comments made by Tori to the press, just two days after the passing of [AARON SPELLING]. As we try to honor his memory with love and respect, the sudden media frenzy she has created at this sensitive time is hurtful and very disturbing. Aaron's legacy deserved pure and unadulterated tribute and recognition which, sadly, has been tainted.
"Everyone deals with grief in a different way, and since Tori chose not to be here at that time, we believe she is having a harder time dealing with that loss. We understand how difficult it might have been for her to be here, and, perhaps, more difficult for her after she arrived. Aaron loved both his children with all his heart, and he understood how hard it was for her.
"We hope Aaron will be remembered with reverence and spirit for the monumental legacy he has left and not for the petty and tabloid headlines which have marred his articles of remembrance. We have mourned our great loss as a family and will continue to do so as that is what Aaron deserved."
Dickinson "received jewelry on loan for a photo shoot... Among the pieces loaned were a pair of diamond earrings, valued at $52,000; a turquoise , pearl and gold necklace, valued at $14,000; a coral and gold necklace, valued at $17,500; and turquoise and pearl earrings, valued ay $4,500." Lane says that Dickinson has failed to return the loaned jewelry, claiming "the pieces were either lost or stolen from her home."
Lane says in the lawsuit that their insurance company investigated and determined Dickinson's theft story to be "dubious."
She's such a hot mess she probably put them in the freezer and forgot about it. Let's hope this is really a mix up and that Janice didn't hock them for drug money.
