Do we like Jennie Garth?

Our score: 7 out of 10. No harmful words or company turned up and there is some real kindness on record, but the sourcing here is thin.

Garth is the Kelly Taylor of Beverly Hills, 90210, a role that made her famous young and tied her to a 90s TV moment for decades. Kelly's line “I choose me” became her personal motto, and she says it “stayed with me forever”.

The arc since is a late-career reinvention. After turning 50 she felt stuck in a limbo place for a few years, then launched the I Choose Me podcast and a clothing line, Me by Jennie Garth, on QVC. She says she has no formal fashion training and just threw herself in.

On the harm test, there's honestly not much to chew on. The searches turned up no campaigning against LGBTQ+ or trans people, no conspiracy theories, no anti-vax or climate-denial material, and no controversial collaborators. That's an absence of evidence rather than a deep dive, so call it a pass on what's been found.

On the good-person side, there's no court record of her as a defendant and no sourced allegations of bad behaviour on the page. What does come through is loyalty: speaking on a podcast in 2025, she said of Luke Perry and Shannen Doherty that they “still are alive in my mind”. That's a decent way to remember old castmates after a famously messy set.

Her recent message is about boundaries and self-worth. In April she told Hello, “Even though it took a while, I'm finally at a place comfortable choosing myself.” She also talks about women giving up the things that make them happy, which is a fair thing to put a mainstream platform behind.

We couldn't open the pages on her charity work, though search listings mention food-bank and community volunteering, so we've left it out of the boxes. Bottom line: a kind, low-drama pick with a quiet record, and you'd be backing her with a clear conscience.
