Why Shenae Grimes Had Multiple Fender Benders While Starring On 90210

During the reunion interview, Jessica Stroup, who played Erin Silver on the teen drama, reminisced about when filming sessions stretched to 12-hour days, as the cast saw both the sunrise and the sunset before heading home. This chaotic schedule was extremely tiring, and eventually, Shenae Grimes began to feel the effects. 

She said of her five-season run, “I hit my car so many times when we were filming. I’ve never had a fender bender since — knock on wood — and yet I had at least six while we were filming because I was just so tired all the time. I always hit, like, still objects.” Fortunately, her accidents must have been minor because they never made the news. However, Grimes was known for having a bit of a hard-partying lifestyle during her “90210” days. 

The actor was frequently spotted at numerous high-profile events with other rising stars of the era, including Kim Kardashian. These days, the mom of two tends to stay out of the celebrity spotlight, but while she may no longer be living it up at exclusive Hollywood clubs, her car-crashing days aren’t totally behind her.
