Tori Spelling has quit the Beverly Hills 90210 rewatch podcast 9021OMG, leaving co-host Jennie Garth to carry on solo. Spelling broke the news herself on Instagram Live rather than through the podcast, a detail that caught fans off guard. Perth Now reports that Garth and producer Amy Sugarman have both expressed sadness over the split.
The show still has two seasons to cover — Seasons 9 and 10. Garth and Sugarman say they plan to finish the run without Spelling. But behind the scenes, reports suggest the two women's decades-long friendship may be on shaky ground.
Spelling's Exit Was Her Own Call, Team Says
Producer Amy Sugarman was clear about one thing: this was Spelling's choice. Sugarman said the departure was "100 percent" Spelling's decision. According to Female First, Spelling told the team about her plans roughly two weeks before the news went public. Sugarman added that it is possible to feel disappointed and still wish someone well.
Spelling said she is leaving to pursue other projects. She did not share details about what those projects are. Her team backed up the story, saying she chose to step away on her own terms. No one pushed her out, at least not officially.
Garth Says She Supports the Choice but Feels the Loss
Jennie Garth did not hide her feelings. She said she is "sad" that the two would not finish the podcast run together. Yahoo News reports that Garth described Spelling's move as choosing herself, and said she supports that. The two starred together on all 10 seasons of Beverly Hills 90210, which aired from 1990 to 2000.
Garth plans to keep going with Sugarman by her side. The two remaining seasons give them roughly a full run of episodes still to recap. Fans who have followed the podcast from the start will now watch a different dynamic play out on the mic.
Insider Claims Point to a Friendship Under Strain
Not everyone is taking the split at face value. Newsposl reports that sources close to the situation say Garth and Spelling's friendship has deteriorated. Insiders claim Garth was not acting like a true friend to Spelling. One claim is that Spelling introduced Garth to useful connections, which Garth later downplayed when negative press surrounded Spelling.
Sources also describe a tension over branding. The claim is that someone in Spelling's circle was seen as "bad" for Garth's image due to bad press. That kind of loyalty question, insiders say, drove a wedge between them. Neither Garth nor Spelling has confirmed or denied these specific claims publicly.
Fans Debate Feud Rumors as Show Presses On
The way Spelling broke the news raised eyebrows. She chose Instagram Live over the podcast itself, which struck many listeners as odd. UK Yahoo News notes that reactions online have been split, with some fans worried about a feud and others simply hoping for the best for both women.
The podcast launched as a shared project built on a long friendship and a shared history with the show. Now it moves forward with a new shape. Two seasons remain. How Garth and Sugarman handle the road ahead — and whether Spelling's exit truly signals a broken bond — will play out in the weeks to come.
