John Shearer/WireImage Jennie Garth Says Luke Perry Is 'Always' with '90210' Cast: 'He Is Right There' Doherty recalled the disagreement with Garth, 51, stemmed from a on-set prank, saying, “What's really funny about that fight that was between myself and Jennie, and it started — I don't know if you remember why it started — she was doing, she was calling it ‘Pants Down Day’ where she would pull the pants on some of the crew members in a funny way but some of them were getting pretty annoyed with it.” “And then I reversed it and I said, ‘Skirt up day’,” she continued. “And she always wore the men's Calvin Klein boxer shorts under her clothes. So I didn't think it was that big of a deal. And so I did ‘Skirt Up Day’ and oh, my God, she lost it on me and I was just not in the mood to back down.” In August 2019, Doherty addressed the longstanding rumors about her alleged feuds with her costars before her exit from the series in 1994. The Beverly Hills, 90210 Cast: Where Are They Now? “I have felt misunderstood my whole life,” Doherty told PEOPLE. “The only difference is that now I’m okay with it. But there have been moments where we’ve been able to talk about things.” She continued, “Somebody had a problem with me being late, but perhaps they didn’t know I was late because my dad was in the hospital, or maybe because I was in a horrible marriage. I didn’t share, or I wasn’t asked. I’m not saying it was all a misunderstanding, but a large portion of it was a misunderstanding.” Doherty recalled having a conversation with her castmates and clearing up any misconceptions about her time on Beverly Hills, 90210 when reuniting for the short-lived Fox series BH90210.
