Tori Spelling shares emotional moment she learned of Shannen Doherty’s death

She shared that her phone started ringing around 7 a.m. while she was sleeping with two of her children in their bed on Sunday morning, July 14. Her phone was turned off but kept “buzzing.”

Said Spelling: “I knew right away. I thought, ‘Oh my God, someone has died. Someone important has died. And I took that moment to not go on social media. I didn’t call anyone back. I wanted to gather the details for myself so I could see how I wanted to process it before I was overwhelmed by voices, texts, and emails.”

After finally checking Google, Spelling shared, “I saw that Shannen had passed away Saturday night, and it was shocking, and I think the first thing I felt was madness. Is madness the word? I felt angry.”

Explaining that she wasn’t upset about herself, she explained, “I was upset about the life that wasn’t going to continue, the life that had so much to offer, not just her but everyone around here.”
