What 90210 Star Says About Being Called Too Thin For TV
90210 star Shenae Grimes has responded to criticism that she’s too thin for TV.
“Shake it off baby!” Grimes told Extra on Wednesday.
Grimes and her co-star AnnaLynne McCord, also addressed rumors of a clothing war between 90210 and Gossip Girl.
“We beat the makeup by far, I’ll tell ya that! But oh my god, Leighton [Meester] – I love her. She rocks that show,” McCord said.
Grimes said that she’d do a crossover show with Gossip Girl: “We have been talking about that since day one.”
Grimes revealed that 90210 alum Shannen Doherty, who has reprised her character on the CW’s revamp, has been a big support.
“She’s been through it all. She’s had people slander her constantly,” Grimes said. “You’re supposed to smile and be like, ‘I’m a happy person.’ What happened with her is that they caught her those times when she didn’t want to have to smile anymore.”
During the ’90s, Doherty was labeled a “bad girl” by the media.
“I was exploring who I was as a person and testing my own boundaries and trying to be a normal 18-, 19-, 20-year-old, and I got raked over the coals,” Doherty told the new issue of Radar. “Many nights I cried myself to sleep over that stuff.”
