Jennie Garth Explains Why She Didn't Mourn Luke Perry's Death on Social Media

Jennie Garth faced some backlash this week after she didn’t acknowledge the death of her friend Luke Perry on social media.

The 90210 actress posted on Instagram for the first time since Luke‘s death and she wrote about International Women’s Day instead of her friend on Friday (March 8).

Jennie shared a photo of her three daughters, which she captioned, “These women 💙💜❤️ #internationalwomensday #sisters.”

After some fans lashed out at Jennie for not posting about Luke, she decided to speak out.

“Hey everyone … I chose to post a pic of my girls today. Because they are my life. Because today is a day to celebrate all women. It took a lot for me to want to celebrate anything. I thought about it and I know that’s the way my dear friend would have wanted it,” she wrote.

Jennie added, “His kids were his life. And anyone who knew him knows that and knows he didn’t give a f*#k about social media. So please don’t assume or judge or make rude comments. That’s really uncool. Sincerely, Jennie.”
