Tori Spelling is remembering a harrowing holiday incident from 1992.
“19 and riding in The Hollywood Christmas
She added, “It was 1992 and [Beverly Hills,] 90210 was at its prime. It was a great ride till I got shot with a BB gun. Didn’t see that one coming, did you?”
According to Spelling, she suddenly felt a “sharp pain” run through her leg.

“I remember waving to the crowds as our car moved thru the parade and suddenly feeling a hot sharp pain on my leg,” Spelling recalled. “I whispered to Bri, ‘Omg I’ve been shot!’ He replied in our usual banter, [said,] ‘You’re being dramatic.’ Fair, he knew me well. I had a flare for drama.”
Throughout the remainder of the parade, Spelling “shrugged it off as [her] overactive imagination” and resumed waving to attendees.
“All teen angst aside, after the parade, I promptly checked my jeans and sure enough there was a burn hole on my upper Levi’s thigh,” she added. “Needless to say, it took me decades to be able to ride in another parade. But, I still love the tradition of watching it annually on TV with my kids.”
Spelling and Green rose to fame by playing Donna Martin and David Silver, respectively, for 10 seasons on Beverly Hills, 90210. Not only were the characters cast as love interests, but Spelling and Green also became an item in real life.
“I remember our last conversation and the last thing we said to each other before those 18 years. I was crying,” Spelling previously said during an August episode of Green’s “Oldish” podcast with her brother, Randy. “I remember crying that we were going to lose touch because we were so close. It was almost like going through a divorce or something.”
Green, however, was adamant that he and Spelling could stay in touch.
“What I remember is going by [your then-boyfriend and our costar] Vincent [Young]’s house to see you multiple days after we wrapped and trying to keep a connection going,” Green recalled. “But it got to the point where I just never got that from you. And then I remember being at the 90210 DVD release party and you were married to Dean [McDermott] and I was with Megan [Fox] when we were still just dating — you guys got there and you never said hello to me once. I just kept missing you guys and then you were gone.”

He added, “It was just this thing of like, ‘She just doesn’t want to be my friend.’ I genuinely felt that way. I tried to visit you and I would call you. When that wasn’t reciprocated and so I gave up. I didn’t know what was going on in your life.”
Green and Spelling ultimately reconnected after their respective divorces from Fox, 38, and McDermott, 58. In fact, Green was the one who convinced Spelling to sign onto Dancing With the Stars season 33 this fall.
“I was like, ‘What do you think? Should I do it?’” Spelling exclusively told Us Weekly in September. “And he’s like, ‘Absolutely.’ He’s like my best friend.”
Spelling, however, was the first star eliminated.
