Jennie Garth is speaking out about Tori Spelling's decision to drop out of CW's 90210 spin-off over salary disputes.
“[The press thinks] we’re at war over salary with Tori. I didn’t know I was at war with Tori,” Garth tells EW.com. “I’m really bummed because I love Tori, and I was psyched Tori was going to be on the show.
"I think she should definitely get paid as much as either of us is getting paid," she adds. "Her father created the show. It just seems wrong if that’s the case. I don’t know what really happened because I haven’t talked to her. I would like to talk to her.”

On Monday, Spelling's rep issued a statement saying that the actress had no plans to appear on the CW spin-off.
The statement came after a deadlinehollywooddaily.com report claimed that Spelling was miffed that Garth and Shannen Doherty were earning “$35,000-$50,000” per episode when she was only getting “$10,000-$20,000” per episode.
But Doherty says, “They didn’t even get the numbers right,” adding, “so I don’t know if [Spelling's decision] is about the money either.”
Still, Garth tells EW she hopes Spelling will eventually appear on the show.

Says the actress, “I’ll try to butt my head in whenever I can and tell people what I think about it.”
