Shannen Doherty Addresses Why She Was Fired From ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’: ‘I Don’t Blame Anyone’

Shannen Doherty revealed that drama in her personal life ‘made it really hard’ for her to focus on her job on ‘Beverly Hills, 90210.’

The 52-year-old actress welcomed former co-star Jason Priestley on the January 22 episode of her podcast, Let’s Be Clear With Shannen Doherty, and she revealed that her struggling marriage to then-husband Ashley Hamilton played a part in her sudden exit from the series.

Jason, 54, told his former on-screen sister that he was unaware of her personal struggles back then and had a hard time with her leaving the show in 1994.
