On Monday’s episode of Shannen’s Let’s Be Clear podcast, the Beverly Hills, 90210 stars recounted their youthful days once they had been “hard core sisters” to unravel why they parted methods. The Charmed star started by insisting they “destroyed Hollywood” and all the time “hit it very hard” whereas out in town.

Shannen dished:
“We both got boyfriends, who ended up being friends, both had a lot of issues.”
While the actresses didn’t share the names of the dangerous beaus they had been discussing, Tori agreed:
“They were better to each other than they were to us.”
Oof. That sux!
Still, the women needed to get much more particular than that! Shannen doubled down on the road of questioning, questioning:
“What was the pivotal moment? Because it’s like one minute we were friends and one minute we weren’t, from my perspective looking in, now as an outsider, I saw that you were swayed by two certain individuals, in particularly one.”
Again, she didn’t title the particular person — however the True Tori lead didn’t want her to. Tori stated being “a swayer” is her “downfall,” inflicting her pal to elaborate:
“You were always easily swayed. And it was very frustrating for me because I always used to tell you like, ‘Yeah, Tor, have an opinion.’ Like, you’re smart, you’re funny, you’re talented. I loved you and I respected you and I wanted you to believe in yourself as much as I believed in you.”
While attempting to “figure out what was the weak point where you were able to be swayed,” the Mallrats alum blamed it on Spelling’s fling on the time — which shocked Tori. Shannen detailed:
“I do because he was abusive, verbally … physically. I remember we went to Mexico with our boyfriends, you called me crying from your room, you came to my room, there was a point I specifically remember looking at you and saying you have to end it with him or I’m going to actually kill him, I can’t stand by and watch this.”
Oh, no…
When the Scary Movie star didn’t break up together with her then-boyfriend, the divide started to develop, Shannen defined:
“All I can think because you didn’t break up with him, you stayed and got tortured for a little bit longer. But we sort of started drifting apart I don’t know if that was it, I don’t know if you started listening to those other people.”
She continued:
“I can’t recall the exact rift but I’m thinking all of those things sort of collided at one time, and maybe it was just so much pressure from other people that you know, the friendship just dissipated. And then you gravitated towards others.”
Recalling one incident of IRL drama on set, Shannen remembered coming underneath hearth after “several cast members” approached her to inform her she shouldn’t “be doing covers without the entire cast” when she, Luke Perry, and Jason Priestley had been tapped to be on the 1992 cowl of Rolling Stone with out everybody else. And amongst these offended castmates was Tori. Oddly, all these years later, Tori has no recollection of that! Must not have been as vital as everybody felt on the time…
Addressing her weaknesses, Dean McDermott‘s estranged spouse stated:
“I think when I was young, it was whoever was the alpha more at the moment would sway me. And I think I couldn’t stand up for myself … I didn’t take ownership of anything. So it’s like, you know, nice, nice, nice to everyone. But it’s like you said, have a f**king opinion about something. And I’m sure I did.”
She concluded:
“I’m sorry I couldn’t [speak up]. I still can’t speak up for myself sometimes, at 50.”
Aw! It’s too dangerous problematic BFs led to the BFFs’ preliminary falling out — however how good they’re in a position to have an open and trustworthy dialog about it and transfer ahead with no laborious emotions!
