    This '90210' Star Accuses Jessica Alba of Lying About No Eye Contact Rule on Set

    Christine Elise doesn’t hold back as she slams the ‘L.A.’s Finest’ actress for suddenly ‘s**t talking’ the ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ show decades after her cameo appearances.

    Oct 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Beverly Hills, 90210” star Christine Elise has accused Jessica Alba of lying about an on-set rule not to look at the regulars.
    Alba appeared as a teen mum in two episodes of the hit TV drama and recently confessed she was told she’d be kicked off the set if she so much as glanced at stars like Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling.
    Garth and Spelling, along with castmates Jason Priestley and Brian Austin Green and the director of the episodes, have responded, insisting they never knew there was such a silly rule, and now Elise is weighing in and calling out Alba.
    “Is she f**ing insane? There’s no way,” the actress raged on Wednesday’s (21Oct20) edition of the “Beverly Hills, 90210 Show” podcast.
    “(Producer) Paul Waigner did say, ‘The girls may not be nice, the guys might not be nice’, but that’s as bad as it got! That cast is very nice and if they don’t like you, they go away. That whole ‘Don’t make eye contact’ is – I’m gonna call it what it is – it’s a f**king lie.”

    Elise, who appeared in 12 episodes of the hit teen drama, added, “Why is she invested in s**t talking a show from 30 years ago? She’s doing great. She’s a bazillionaire with her little Honest company!”
    Joel Feigenbaum, who directed Alba’s episodes, recently told the podcast he was shocked by her claim.
    “It’s very possible someone could have said that to her, either seriously or not,” he said. “I can’t imagine who it would have been. It certainly wasn’t one of the cast… I certainly was never aware of it and you certainly never saw that on the set anyway.”
    And Green previously said, “The one thing that we really were good about on our set was making people feel welcome and feel like they were a part of the family and what we were doing, and they were a part of the team. I can’t imagine that at all. And I can’t imagine that she heard that from somebody close enough to us that it was a direct reflection of any one of us.”
    Priestley, who dated Elise for five years after they met on the show, also picked at Alba’s claim, adding, “I always went out of my way to make sure that our guests always felt incredibly welcomed. I would always go and talk to them and make sure they knew this was a place where we wanted them to succeed.”

      Joel Feigenbaum joins original cast regulars, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Brian Austin Green and Jason Priestley, in sharing his thought on the claim made by the ‘L.A.’s Finest’ actress.
      Oct 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Beverly Hills, 90210” director Joel Feigenbaum had no idea Jessica Alba had been told not to make eye contact with the show’s stars during her season eight episodes.
      The actress claimed she was told she’d be thrown off the set if she looked at cast regulars like Jennie Garth or Tori Spelling, prompting the show’s stars to insist they had no idea guests had been told to avert their eyes.
      Garth, Spelling, Brian Austin Green, and Jason Priestley have all responded to Alba’s claims, admitting they feel awful knowing she had to follow such silly rules, and now Feigenbaum, who directed the two episodes, in which Alba played a teen mum, insists her revelation was the first time he had heard about the behind-the-scenes saga.

      “It’s very possible someone could have said that to her, either seriously or not,” he said on Monday’s (October 12) episode of the “Beverly Hills, 90210 Show” podcast. “I can’t imagine who it would have been. It certainly wasn’t one of the cast.”

      “The only other people it might have been, an AD (assistant director) or maybe somebody in the makeup and hair trailer (sic). I don’t doubt that she heard that somehow, but I certainly was never aware of it and you certainly never saw that on the set anyway…”.
      “Who knows? It could have been maybe even before she ever came to 90210, before she was even cast in the part. For all I know, somebody else was messing with her, but to my knowledge, that certainly wasn’t a rule on the set by any means. All of the regular cast was extremely friendly and really open to the guest stars.”

      Jessica Alba Recalls Being Given No Eye Contact Rule During 'Beverly Hills, 90210' Appearance

      The ‘L.A.’s Finest’ actress reveals that producers told her she would be thrown off the set if she was spotted looking at Jennie Garth or any of her other co-stars during her appearance on the hit show.
      Oct 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jessica Alba wasn’t allowed to make eye contact with the “Beverly Hills, 90210” cast when she appeared on the hit show in 1998.
      The actress played a pregnant teenager seeking help at the clinic where Jennie Garth’s character, Kelly Taylor, was working on the series, and admits she had strict instructions to watch out where she glanced.
      Producers told her she would be thrown off the set if she was spotted looking at Garth or her co-stars Jason Priestley, Ian Ziering, Brian Austin Green, Tori Spelling and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.
      “It was really strange when you’re, like, trying to do a scene with them,” Jessica said during a recent appearance on webseries “Hot Ones”. “It was like, ‘You’re not allowed to make eye contact with any one of the cast members or you’ll be thrown off the set.’ ”

      Alba explained the incident was the first of many that made her feel “demeaned” in Hollywood – and prompted her to take a break from acting and set up her The Honest Company lifestyle brand.
      “The way women were treated in many circumstances, I was just over it,” she added. “I’d do a lot of press, the guys did nothing compared to what I was doing. I was like, ‘I’m done doing it this way.’ ”
      Alba isn’t the only one who shared a not-so pleasant experience on the show. Back in 2019, AnnaLynne McCord said that she was shaded by the cast. “That’s so funny. They were being a little shady toward me! And then I was a little shady back!” she revealed at the WildAid Gala: A Night in Africa.
