Tori Spelling calls Shannen Doherty's 'shocking' Oscars in memoriam snub 'triggering'
Hear this story
Shannen Doherty's in memoriam Oscars snub was a tough pill to swallow for Tori Spelling.
In an episode of the "Let's Be Clear" podcast released Monday, the actress said it was "heartbreaking" and "truly shocking" that Doherty, her former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-star, was left out of the in memoriam segment at last month's Academy Awards.
"I couldn't believe it," she said. "When the in memoriam stopped and she hadn't been included, my heart dropped. It sank."
Spelling went on to say that Doherty, who died from cancer last year, not being honored at the Oscars "personally felt a little triggering to me because this is the third person that I love that has been left out of the" in memoriam segment after her father, producer Aaron Spelling, and her former co-star Luke Perry were also not included after their deaths.
"For all of us watching that loved her and loved her work, it felt like not only was she robbed, but we were robbed," Spelling said.

Though Doherty was perhaps best known for her television work on shows like "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed," Spelling argued she should have been honored at the Oscars because "it's really the big screen where her career thrived." Doherty's notable movie credits included "Heathers" and "Mallrats."
Michelle Trachtenberg left out of Oscars' in memoriam tribute
Spelling spent the rest of the podcast episode looking back at Doherty's career, offering her the tribute she felt the actress was denied at the Oscars.
Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh on "Beverly Hills, 90210," died in July after a battle with cancer at age 53. She was one of a number of actors controversially left out of this year's Oscars in memoriam tribute to those who died over the past year, with Olivia Hussey, Tony Todd and Michelle Trachtenberg also not included.
Perry's absence from the Oscars' in memoriam similarly sparked backlash in 2020 after the "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor died the previous year from a stroke.
At the time, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said in a statement, "The Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues in the Oscars in memoriam segment. An executive committee representing every branch considers the list and makes selections for the telecast based on limited available time."

Miley Cyrus and Boyfriend Maxx Morando Take Couple Coordinating to a Whole New Level with Matching Hairstyles
Miley Cyrus and boyfriend Maxx Morando went out for a glamorous date night in New York City on June 5 While the couple didn't coordinate their ensembles, they did have matching hairstyles Cyrus and Morando have been dating since 2021Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, are hair twins. The "Flowers" singer, 32, was spotted having a fashionable night out with her musician boyfriend, 26, in New York City, on Thursday, June 5. The couple was spotted leaving the Four Seasons Hotel after Cyrus' private event, then they set off for the rest of their evening. For their date night, Cyrus wore a brown satin, fitted cone bra dress with black criss-cross lace details down the front of the dress, as well as the hips. The hem of the dress featured a long fringe that swayed as the singer walked. Morando kept his look classic for the evening, wearing an all black suit consisting of a jacket, matching shirt and black pants. For a casual touch, the musician kept a couple of buttons loose to expose a white crew neck undershirt. Though their outfits were distinct, the couple matched when it came to the way they styled their hair. Cyrus styled her brunette hair with blonde highlights in carefree curls that cascaded down her back. She also styled her now grown out baby bangs into curls that were flipped away from her face, and folded in seamlessly into the rest of her hair.

Morando, meanwhile, kept his overgrown mullet and bangs styled as he normally does — he let his natural curls pop, with a few pieces laying less than perfectly for a chic touch. Cyrus' curls paired with Morando's curls led to a matching hair moment that recalled the likes of David and Victoria Beckham's twinning hair styles in the 2000s, or Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt in the '90s. Cyrus and Morando's last major matching hair moment came in March, when the couple walked the red carpet at the 97th annual Oscars on March 2. is now available in the Apple App Store!
