"My 5 kids are going thru Mold poisoning and we need a home. This Is How You Treat People?'" Spelling wrote on a screenshot of the exchange

<p>Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic</p> Tori Spelling, pictured in May, called out a realtor for a text he accidentally sent her.

When Tori Spelling contacted a local realtor looking for a rental home, she got an unexpected response.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star, 50, revealed in May that she was looking to move after an "extreme mold" infestation was found in her home, causing her family to keep getting sick. On Friday, she shared an Instagram Story showing a text exchange with Los Angeles realtor Robert Vinson, of Vinson Group Real Estate.

The exchange begins with a message from Vinson that appears to have been accidentally sent to Spelling instead of another recipient, in which Vinson wrote, “The latest bizarre inquiry.”

“I’m sorry?” Spelling replied. “I'm assuming that wasn’t meant for me.”

“It is more for Karen,” Vinson responds. “Tori Spelling has been asking for a 1 month rental. If you follow her situation on TMZ it is all amusing.”

“This is Tori Spelling,” she then replied. “Wow! Human empathy and kindness prevails. Kids in crisis is amusing.”

On her Instagram Story, Spelling wrote a scathing note on the screenshot: “And this human is a father! I guess I hold out too much hope that people lead by kindness. Shame on you Robert Vinson @vinsongroup real estate! My 5 kids are going thru Mold poisoning and we need a home and this is how you treat people? Mocking their situation?”

Vinson responded to Spelling’s post in an email to PEOPLE claiming he thought the person he was speaking with was someone impersonating the actress.

“Celebrity impersonation is rabid in Hollywood. As a real estate broker I have a fiduciary responsibility to be certain of the identity of the person we are dealing with," he wrote. "Ms. Spelling texted me asking for a one month rental. Concerned that I was dealing with a scam I texted ‘How can I confirm it is you.' I never received a call back from the text. I am now being publicly shamed for my due diligence.”

Vinson says he apologized to the star.

“I sent Ms. Spelling the following text after being bombarded with vulgar messages from her followers: I am sorry about the messageI was raised by a single mother and understand the challenges you are dealing with. When you did not call me I thought I was being spoofed by someone who was pretending to be you."

"You just keep getting sick, one infection after another," she wrote. "Respiratory infections. Extreme allergy like symptoms too and like my poor Finn skin rashes as well."

She added that she would look "for an @airbnb or @vrbo or hotel till we can even grasp what to do."

“We are just renters so looks like moving is in our eminent future as well,” she wrote. “Grateful we have renters insurance. We’d be lost how to tackle this without.
