Was Tori Spelling's Ebola scare cover-up for 'nervous breakdown'?

Tori Spelling's near and dear ones say that she is having a nervous breakdown.

According to the sources, the 41-year-old star's recent Ebola scare, after she had checked herself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was possibly scam to cover-up her troubled personal life, TMZ.com reported.

Reports are that there's not only trouble in the actress' paradise, as she had recently had an argument with husband Dean McDermott, but the couple is also financially limited if not flat broke, as they've blown through her 800,000 dollars inheritance from Aaron Spelling, and the star is freaking out that her scripted career would soon be over as she's turning 42.

It is believed that Spelling faked the illness to the point that she actually made herself sick, and a close friend, who's is trying to stage an intervention, said that maybe making her troubles public to the fans could "lead her to seek some change in her life.
