Beverly Hills, 90210 feud over! Jennie Garth and Tiffani Thiessen reunite at star-studded dinner after years-long fall out
Beverly Hills, 90210 stars Jenny Garth and Tiffani Thiessen ended their long-standing feud when they reunited recently.
Jenni, 51, and Tiffany, 49, were both in attendance at Bethenny Frankel’s star-studded dinner on Tuesday night.
The celeb trio was joined by NeNe Leakes, Larsa Pippen, Elisa Donovan, Melissa Rivers, Tanya Rudd, Cheryl Burke, Raquel Lewis and Amanza Smith for a night on the town.
It remains unclear why the group of actresses and reality stars got together in the first place, but it certainly seemed like the place.
Frankel, 52, didn’t reveal anything but captioned the picture to her 3.3 million followers: ‘Dinner JUSTBCuz… Thanks for a beautiful night ladies… Still cleaning up all the tea spills.’

The two stars of the hugely popular 1990s drama series used to be very close as Tiffany was even Jen’s maid of honor when she married actor Peter Facinelli in 2001.
However, Tiffany – who also starred in the 1990s teen sitcom Saved By The Bell – revealed years later that the two had a rift.
She told Howard Stern during an interview on her SiriusXM show in July 2012: “We had a falling out and we broke up.
“I was the one who was hurt, let’s put it that way.” I was the one who was hurt.’
“It’s funny, our relationship started really rough and ended the way it started,” she recalls, telling Stern that the 90210 girls “weren’t very nice to me” when she joined the cast in 1994.
Tiffany joined Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1994 in its fourth season after Shannen Doherty left.
However, Garth “actually” apologized for his behavior towards Thiessen and the girls became so close that Thiessen was there when Garth gave birth to her first child.
According to Thiessen, things became strained between the two actresses when Spelling divorced her first husband, Charlie Shanyan, in 2006.

She told Howard Stern during an interview on her SiriusXM show back in July 2012, “We had a falling out and we broke up. I was the one who was hurt, let’s just say that. I was the one who was hurt’; the two are pictured in 1997

“It was a difficult situation for everyone,” Thiessen told Sterna. “We were close with Charlie. My best friend was Charlie’s roommate. Was it difficult.’
Spelling has since married actor Dean McDermott and the couple have three children together with Tori pregnant with her fourth baby due in September.
“Our kids go to the same school, and she’s moved on,” Thiessen said. “I’m glad she’s happy, she has a lot of kids and she’s great.” I’m happy for her.’
Then in May 2017, Jenni and best friend Tori Spelling reignited the feud when they appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race and refused to say Tiffany’s name when they criticized the drag queen for parodying her character Valerie Malone in a segment of the competition.
‘Like you – how do you say that?’ Jenny told the panel as a guest judged the contestants’ performance in the parody contest.
Tori made a suggestion that hurt, “Just say, ‘What we don’t talk about,'”—an opaque nod to the term used to describe the Harry Potter series’ villain, Voldemort.
“Yeah, we know her as ‘The Thing We Don’t Talk About,'” Jenny continued as a roar of laughter erupted from the panel.
The taunt stunned the contestant, whose jaw dropped.
