Dean McDermott is leaving TV?! How can we handle this bad news?! Oh yeah -- by finding some other messed-up reality family that we're glad not to be a part of. Either which what the reality star/bad husband/cheater, cheater pumpkin eater is saying bye, bye, bye to his time on the Lifetime series with wife Tori Spelling, True Tori. The big bad cheater came on Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday and told the hosts he'd just hit it and quit it -- his show that is.

"I wanted to come on to dispel some rumors … as for as the show goes, I am not going to continue."

Dean went on to confess, "We have five more shows left… I can't do this anymore. I can't keep opening a vein, opening my soul and sharing my feelings and thoughts and demons with the world."

The 47-year-old also lamented his infidelity and his substance addiction. "The fact that I cheated on my wife, I wish never happened. I wish my alcohol and drug use hadn't gotten out of control. I still love Tori to death and that's why we're still together."

If he really does want to stay with Tori, leaving the show sounds like a good idea to us …

Catch Dean while you still can. The last five Dean-packed episodes of "True Tori" air on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Lifetime.
