After Shannen Doherty opened up about drama between herself and Alyssa Milano on the set of Charmed, the actress is spilling about an on-set spat with another past co-star: Beverly Hills, 90210‘s Jennie Garth.

On a recent episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast, Doherty opened up to her fellow 90210 alum Brian Austin Green about when “tensions started happening on the set,” and a particular fight caused by a joke she once made, per Page Six.

“And it was always awesome to me that the boys got along so well,” she shared. “You guys were always very supportive of each other and congratulating each other, and it wasn’t necessarily the same with the girls.”

Green noted that “it got really rough and competitive” between the female cast members on set, remembering it was “not an easy situation to watch.”

“I remember the guys, we used to talk about that,” he said. “I remember at one point when there was a fight out front and Ian [Ziering] and I were there. And so we were the two that stepped into the middle of it to keep it from escalating.”

Doherty recalled the fight herself, telling Green, “I don’t know if you remember why it started. She was doing, she was calling it ‘Pants Down Day,’ where she would pull the pants on some of the crew members in a funny way and some of them were getting pretty annoyed with it.”

Doherty then revealed that she “reversed it,” enacting “Skirt Up Day” in order to give Garth “a taste of her own medicine.”

“And she always wore the men’s Calvin Klein boxer shorts under her clothes, so I didn’t think it was that big of a deal,” Doherty recalled. “So I did ‘Skirt Up Day,’ and oh my God, she lost it on me. And I was just not in the mood to back down.”

Doherty has been in the public eye as of late, as she and her Charmed co-star Holly Marie Combs have brought forth claims that Milano “caused a weird divide” between the two of them on set and got Doherty fired. Milano has fired back at the latter allegation, arguing that she “did not have the power to get anyone fired.”

As for Green, he appeared on Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone last month, where he reflected on the “tough” loss of their 90210 co-star Luke Perry and revealed that he had even “texted him the day after he passed.”

 “Just because there was a part of me that was like, ‘No, he’s gonna answer back,’” he recalled thinking. “Like he’s hiding somewhere, or something’s happened.”
