Watch: Dean McDermott Talks Moving on From Mistakes

It would be an understatement to say that this season of True Tori has been anything but tumultuous. 

Following a headline-making cheating scandal, Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott opted to open up the doors of their home to the cameras, allowing viewers to be exposed to their blow-up fights (over something as silly as a baked potato), financial woes and the fallout from Dean's infidelity. 

E! News caught up with the reality star on Monday and asked the 47-year-old dad whether he's ever weary of sharing to much on the show, but instead—he dropped a bombshell about the future of the series. 

So is Dean done with True Tori?! Well, you'll have to tune in to E! News to find out!

In the meantime, we can reveal that McDermott said he and Tori are "on good terms" although he admitted that "viewers may not be ready for real reality TV." 

As for those photos of Dean leaving a sex shop while his wife was in the hospital? McDermott will address those reports tonight, too, as well as the couple's financial troubles. 

"I would love for the public to see me as just a human being," he told E! News, just days after his explosive Twitter rant when he shamelessly told his "haters" to "f--k off."  "I'm just trying. I'm trying to get through this life, I'm trying to do some good and I'm trying to teach my kids right from wrong and just have a good life."

Less than two weeks ago, in a candid interview with Entertainment Tonight, McDermott insisted that he's "not a monster" nor is "the first person to ever cheat on his wife."

"I messed up," he told E! News, reiterating his remorse. "People make mistakes, but those mistakes don't define them. It's what you do after the mistakes that really shows your true character. So I would like people to take away from all of this that I'm a good guy that messed up that is just trying to put my life back together," he explained, pausing for a moment before adding, "Our life back together." 

For more from Dean—and to hear his future on the thoughts of True Tori—be sure to tune in to E! News at 7 and 11 p.m. tonight!
