Jennie Garth Too ‘Bummed’ About Tori’s Salary Woes To Actually Call Her

The backstage drama behind the CW’s 90210 reboot is quickly providing its very own season arcs — and all this before the teen soap has even aired! When last we swung by the refurbished Peach Pit, Tori Spelling was bailing on the redo after learning that other original cast members Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty would be receiving more money. Appraised of the issue, Garth quickly called up EW to give her side of the story:

“[The press thinks] we’re at war over salary with Tori. I didn’t know I was at war with Tori,” Garth told EW.com. “I’m really bummed because I love Tori and I was psyched Tori was going to be on the show. I think she should definitely get paid as much as either of us is getting paid. Her father created the show. It just seems wrong if that’s the case. I don’t know what really happened because I haven’t talked to her. I would like to talk to her.”

Well, why pick up the phone when a couple of online quotes will suffice? Surely, Garth has the number of a costar she acted opposite for ten years — or is she simply mad that Spelling sold off the garage door opener she’d forever had her eye on without even so much as a friendly publicist tip-off?
