Jennie Garth Remembers Shannen Doherty: "One of the Strongest People I Have Ever Known"

In a heartfelt tribute shared on Instagram, Jennie Garth honored her long-time friend and former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty following the actress’s passing. Garth's message reflected deep admiration and respect for Doherty, whom she described as "one of the strongest people I have ever known."

Accompanying her emotional words was a nostalgic photo of the two actresses together, likely taken during their time on the iconic 1990s television series. The image served as a poignant reminder of their shared history and the bond they formed on set.

"I am still processing my tremendous grief over the loss of my long-time friend Shannen," Garth wrote. "Our connection was real and honest." Her words conveyed the depth of their friendship and the authenticity of their relationship, which was often misrepresented by the media.

Despite publicized reports of tension between them, Garth emphasized that their relationship was built on mutual respect and admiration. She acknowledged that while they were often pitted against each other, this narrative never truly reflected their bond.

In 2019, Garth candidly discussed an intense argument they had on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, admitting they once had a heated exchange that almost turned physical. However, she also highlighted how they reconciled and maintained a lasting friendship.

"She was courageous, passionate, determined and very loving and generous," Garth continued. "I will miss her and will always honor her deeply in my heart and in my memories." Her tribute painted a picture of Doherty as a woman of remarkable strength and character.

Garth also expressed her condolences to Doherty's family and loved ones, including her beloved pet, Bowie. Her words underscored the profound impact Doherty had on those around her and the void her passing leaves behind.
