00:00 She lost it on me.
00:03 Shannon Doherty recalls a big fight she had
00:05 with her Beverly Hills 90210 co-star,
00:07 Jenny Garth, back in the day.
00:10 While speaking with fellow 90210 alum, Brian Austin Green,
00:13 on her Let's Be Clear podcast,
00:15 Doherty opens up about a prank game
00:17 Jenny would pull on set, but some weren't ready to play.
00:21 She was doing, she was calling it Pants Down Day,
00:24 where she would pull the pants on some of the crew members
00:29 in a funny way.
00:30 But some of them were getting pretty annoyed with it.
00:33 So Shannon says she decided to turn the tables on Jenny
00:36 and the result was explosive.
00:38 Then I reversed it and I said, "Skirt Up Day."
00:42 And she always wore the men's Calvin Klein boxer shorts
00:47 under her clothes, so I didn't think it was that big
00:49 of a deal, and so I did Skirt Up Day and oh my God,
00:55 she lost it on me and I was just not in the mood
01:00 to back down.
01:02 Ian and I were there and so we were the two that stepped
01:05 into the kind of the middle of it
01:07 to keep it from escalating.
01:10 E! News has reached out to Jenny Garth for comment
01:12 on Shannon's allegations.
01:13 Elsewhere in the chat, Shannon, who played Brenda Walsh
01:16 on the hit 90s series, and Brian, who played David Silver,
01:19 talk about how the pressure on the young women on set
01:22 was different for the young men.
01:24 You guys were always very supportive of each other
01:27 and congratulating each other,
01:30 and it wasn't necessarily the same with the girls.
01:33 I remember it got really rough and competitive for you all.
01:38 Jenny did previously open up about this particular aspect
01:42 of her time on the show in a 2021 episode of her
01:45 and fellow 90210 alum Tori Spelling's 90210MG podcast.
01:50 She said at the time, "The show brought out
01:52 a super competitive part of me.
01:54 Being in that environment of being judged
01:56 because of my looks or how I looked in an outfit,
01:58 it was just a different day and age,
02:00 and it gave us young girls a lot of mixed messages.
02:03 I, for many years, struggled with it."
02:05 She added, "If I'm honest, I think the show kind of taught me
02:08 to be threatened by other girls,
02:10 be threatened by other women, and be more competitive
02:13 because I wanted our co-stars' approval or attention."
