Tori Spelling finally knows exactly why her character on “Beverly Hills, 90210” stayed a virgin for all those years.
Spelling played Donna Martin on the hit show and learned it was her late father, Aaron Spelling, who suggested she abstain from sex.
“I remember very clearly when he said to me…Donna should be a virgin,” “90210” producer and writer Charles Rosin revealed on the latest episode of Spelling’s “9021OMG” podcast.
“And it was like, ‘Yes, absolutely she should.”
Rosin replied, “Oh absolutely!”
He then explained to Spelling and her podcast co-host Jennie Garth, who played Kelly Taylor on the hit series, how the proposal was received by the other show writers.
“We just went, ‘Oh, yeah, that makes perfect sense!’ Because we were able now to differentiate you.”

Her conversation with Rosin was not the first time the 50-year-old spoke out about her thoughts on her character’s celibacy.
In 2013, she told “Vulture” she thought it was because “once we established that she was a fan favorite, people really started relating to her.”
In real life, the cast members of the ’90s show were pretty much all sleeping with each other, Spelling claimed in her 2008 memoir “sTORI TELLING,” according to People. A fact she said her dad knew nothing about.
