"She has given me the gift of laughter during this time which has been big. She has brought a lot of levity into our home. And the girls and I really look forward to that." Jennie's support system also includes 90210 friends like Shannen Doherty who also attended the party.

Shannen talked about supporting other women, especially during trying times. "She knows I’m here so she obviously knows she can call me up and talk to me about anything. I think you do things like coming here today and showing your love and being supportive of her show and watching her show. You know it’s important for women to support other women, it’s incredibly important. I have a lot of respect for her and a lot of love for her. So I’m totally excited about seeing her show, I can’t wait."
