Jennie Garth Explains Impromptu 90210 Exit!

And the truth comes out!
If you’ve been watching this season of 90210, you’re probably wondering what happened to original castmember and shameless homewrecker Kelly Taylor, as she’s been noticably absent from the cast lineup so far!
Well, actress – and as far as we know NOT a real life shameless homewrecker – Jennie Garth recently revealed that she left the series because she didn’t like the direction it was taking!
She explains:

“I finished my stint there and the show is kind of off on its own, and I’m happy to walk away. It was fun, there’s a lot of energy. My friend was producing the first season of the new show, and so that was kind of my motivation to be a part of it. And then he left and it just kind of got a little wonky, so I was happy to be a part of it in the beginning. Now it just seems like another show that we’ve already seen. Like Gossip Girl and so many shows that show that lifestyle. And when our show was on, there was no TMZ, there was no paparazzi, we had giant cellphones, there was no internet. It was such a different time. I can’t believe there was no internet! I feel so old!”

Burn!
Can’t say we’re too torn up to see her gone, though! Frankly, the only reason we were excited to see her return in the first place for the reboot was because we were secretly hoping for a throwdown with our hero Brenda Walsh!
Alas, it never happened, our dreams were crushed, and now they’re both gone forever.
Oh well!
