McDermott recognized he had a problem that needed to be addressed, and he was determined to commit to overcoming his substance abuse issues. “Coming in at 55 years old — it’s just not a good look. I had to get this right,” he told Page Six. Right from the beginning of his treatment, he realized the impact getting clean (or not) would have on his future. “I fell in love with it. It changed my life,” he said of treatment.

Once sober, McDermott also dedicated his time to pursuing a career where he could help others in similar situations. He opened the Conscious Community Global center and works as a counselor. “I work in recovery today because of my experience in treatment and sober living,” he said. “I’m an alcohol and drug counselor, and I work with other treatment centers. I work with alcoholics and addicts and help them find the path that I found and the one that I’m on now. It’s incredibly rewarding.”

Dean is moving on with his life, while Tori was reported to be living in an RV with their six kids.

“All Tori’s ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy, and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman,” he told The Daily Mail in November 2023 of how his addiction influenced their relationship. In the same interview, he also discussed how alcohol had destroyed his relationship with his family. “It ended up with me drinking a fifth of tequila every night, seven days a week, and a handful of narcos [prescription meds] by myself with a beautiful family in the other room. That’s what it led to and that’s what led to the brokenness and to what happened between me and Tori.”
