Tori Spelling Shows Off Toned Tummy in Crop Top After Breaking Silence on Rumored ‘Feud’ with 90210 Co-Star Jennie Garth.
CALABASAS, Calif. — Tori Spelling stepped out for a family dinner in Southern California, making a bold fashion statement as speculation continues to mount regarding her high-profile departure from the 90210MG podcast and her current standing with longtime friend and co-star Jennie Garth.
The mother-of-five, 53, braved the California heat in a relaxed yet eye-catching ensemble, showing off her toned midriff in a low-cut black crop top.
She paired the look with oversized gray cargo pants and vibrant green sneakers, shielding her eyes behind tinted sunglasses as she led her family to Yume Sushi Bar in Calabasas.
Joining Spelling for the dinner outing were all five of her children: Liam, 19, Stella, 18, Hattie, 14, Finn, 13, and Beau, 9.
The outing marks one of Spelling’s first public appearances since news broke that she had officially walked away from the nostalgic rewatch podcast she co-created with Garth.
Spelling Addresses Podcast Departure Alongside Brian Austin Green
Spelling’s public outing comes just hours after she directly addressed her abrupt exit from the show during an Instagram Live session with former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Brian Austin Green, 53.
During the broadcast, Green brought up the elephant in the room, gently asking Spelling: “Are we really going to talk about the OMG pod yet?”
He suggested that Spelling likely “needed a little time… to sort of gather thoughts” rather than feeling pressured into a reactive response.
Nodding in agreement, Spelling validated Green’s assessment, explaining that she wanted to handle the situation with care and intentionality rather than letting emotions dictate her public response.
She emphasized her desire to “speak [her truth] in a thoughtful way, rather than being reactive.”
Despite her departure, the daughter of legendary television mogul Aaron Spelling took a high-road approach, urging fans and loyal listeners to continue supporting Garth and producer Amy Sugarman, who has stepped in during her absence.
“Please, please keep watching Jennie and Amy,” Spelling told her followers. “They are doing it and bringing on tons of fun hosts. We love you!”
Behind the Exit: “Two Things Can Be True”
Spelling and Garth originally launched 90210MG in 2020—exactly two decades after Beverly Hills, 90210 wrapped its iconic ten-season run.
The hit series, which catapulted both actresses to global stardom as fan-favorites Donna Martin and Kelly Taylor, served as the foundation for the rewatch project.
However, during a recent episode of the podcast, producer Amy Sugarman confirmed that Spelling’s hiatus had become permanent, revealing that it was “100 percent” Spelling’s decision to step down from her hosting duties.
“As everyone knows, Tori has not been here for a bit, right? She’s not been doing the show for a bit for many reasons,” Sugarman explained to listeners. “About two weeks ago, she made the decision — which I’m sure was a really, very tough decision for her — but she let us know about two weeks ago that she had decided she wasn’t going to continue with the podcast.”
Sugarman reflected on the bittersweet nature of the transition, balancing respect for Spelling’s choice with sadness over her departure:
“Two things can be true: We can be really bummed, disappointed that she’s not going to do seasons 9 and 10 with us, with you, while still wanting her to be happy and to be excited for her about the things she is working on and does want to do.”
Jennie Garth Reflects: “I’m Excited for Her to Choose Herself”
Garth, 54, did not hide her disappointment over not being able to complete the multi-year retrospective alongside her long-time friend, acknowledging that completing the rewatch without her original co-host felt bittersweet.
“We started it together, and I’m sad about that, if I’m being honest, which I always am,” Garth confessed during the episode. “But I’m also really excited for the podcast to come into [seasons] nine and 10 because I know we have a lot of great stuff in store.”
In a heartfelt nod to a classic 90210 storyline, Garth channeled her character Kelly Taylor’s iconic “I choose me” moment to express support for her former co-star’s decision.
“Also, I’m really happy for her. I’m excited for her to choose herself,” Garth shared, acknowledging that the personal growth journey sparked by the podcast has been transformative for her as well.
Reassuring fans that she has no intention of walking away before reaching the finish line, Garth emphasized how much reviewing her early career has impacted her personal perspective:
“This has been the craziest awakening of remembering so many things in my life by watching the show back and getting back in touch with me — the person playing Kelly Taylor. It’s been this really great experience for me.”
As 90210MG charges ahead into the show’s final two seasons, Garth and Sugarman promised listeners that the studio doors remain open for rotating guest co-hosts and former castmates, promising plenty of nostalgia as they complete their retrospective journey through Beverly Hills.
