Tori Spelling is no longer co-hosting her “Beverly Hills, 90210” rewatch podcast with former co-star Jennie Garth.
The former reality star announced her abrupt exit from “90210MG,” which launched in 2020, in an Instagram Live, Entertainment Weekly reported Thursday.
The 53-year-old explained that she planned to pursue other projects and encouraged fans to continue listening to Garth, per the outlet.
Us Weekly reported Thursday that while Spelling “has not participated on the podcast in recent weeks,” Garth “is passionately excited to continue to rewatch.”
A source shared, “She plans to rewatch it to the end and include special guests and guests co-hosts from the series.”
Reps for Spelling, Garth and iHeart Media did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The actresses, notably, were in the middle of recapping Season 8 of the drama, which ran from 1990 to 2000 for 10 seasons.
Spelling and Garth, 54, played Donna Martin and Kelly Taylor, respectively, in the beloved series.
They reprised their roles in the 2019 revival, “BH90210,” alongside Shannon Doherty, Brian Austin Green and other cast members.
The “90210MG” podcast launched in November of the following year.
Garth has yet to address Spelling’s departure directly on the podcast, which social media users have pointed out in recent Instagram comments.
One fan called the situation “weird,” writing, “They don’t mention it on the actual podcast but [Spelling] announces it on a live video with Brian. … If everything was completely amicable it seems like she’d announce it on the podcast and they could wish her well and say goodbye.”
Another added, “I’m bummed that she’s gone and disappointed that it hasn’t been addressed.”
When Garth and Spelling started their podcast in 2020, the latter gushed that their friendship was the most consistent connection of her life.
“We’ve been friends for 30 years,” the “MisSpelling” podcast host gushed at the time (via People). “We’ve gone through decades of change as women, we’re moms now and it’s really the one relationship that has stayed all this time!”
She promised the rewatch show would be “really fun,” noting, “Fans always say to us, ‘We can’t believe you’re actually best friends.’ We wanted to do a girlfriends podcast and then blended it with ‘90210’ to do it for the fans. We have a lot to talk about.”
