Tiffani Thiessen has reflected on her days as an actress on Beverly Hills 90120 after former boyfriend Brian Austin Green revealed he used to get jealous when she acted out intimate scenes with their fellow castmates.
The actress, 50, joined the hit show in 1994 after Shannen Doherty exited the series.
Green, 50, spoke about his jealousy on Doherty’s Let’s Be Clear podcast, revealing, ‘I’d never been in a real serious relationship before. I was incredibly jealous every time she would f***ing have to work with anybody else because we’d already been doing the show for four years. Like, this is my family.
‘I used to bring Tiffani to events so she knew everybody from then and then all of a sudden she’s doing sex scenes and s*** with people that were like my family and my brothers. It was strange. I remember I was really just f***ing jealous and boisterous.’
Thiessen’s character, Valerie Malone, was quite popular with the male characters on the night time drama.
