Tori Spelling was ordered to pay over $38,000 in her ongoing credit card lawsuit last week.
American Express sued Spelling over the debt in January. Court documents showed the actress had last attempted to make a payment in June 2015, but that the $1,070 transaction failed.
Spelling's mom, Candy Spelling, told TMZ at the time that she was helping the actress financially.
The 71-year-old writer claimed she was "paying all [of Tori's] bills" but not "extras" like the credit card debt.
"I'm not paying any back payments. Just for the house and the kids' school and the food," she said. "I don't know [why she missed payments]. Extravagance, I guess."Spelling herself attributed her financial troubles to her privileged upbringing in her 2013 memoir, "Spelling It Like It Is. "
The actress is the daughter of Candy Spelling and late producer Aaron Spelling.
"I grew up rich beyond anyone's dreams. Even when I try to embrace a simpler lifestyle, I can't seem to let go of my expensive tastes ... I can't afford to live like this anymore."
Spelling is known for playing Donna Martin on "Beverly Hills, 90210" and has since appeared in a number of TV movies.
She and husband Dean McDermott also starred on several reality series, including Lifetime's "True Tori."
