Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling Recall the Man Who Tore Their Friendship Apart
Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling dug into the past on the latest episode of Doherty’s podcast Let’s Be Clear, as they tried to pinpoint “the pivotal moment” that changed between them in the 2000s, because, as Doherty said, “one minute we were friends and then one minute we weren't.”
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-stars and close friends had a falling out while filming the series. And Doherty told Spelling on the podcast this week that the way she saw it, Spelling had been easily “swayed” against her by “two certain individuals,” and Spelling admitted that she was right. “You know I’m a swayer,” she said, “[that’s] my downfall.”
The two were inseparable in the earlier 90210 years, as Doherty recalled they were “like sisters, like best friends. We were always together.” She added, “If I was late, you were late.” Their being late brought up the differences in the way the two actresses were treated by their other co-stars. “I always got the brunt of [their complaints],” Doherty said, “Because they’re not going to say something to the producer’s daughter”—a reference to Aaron Spelling, who produced the show.
