Tori Spelling spent months not speaking to her “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star Luke Perry after his “awful” fight with her boyfriend in the ’90s.

The former reality star, who was dating Nick Savalas at the time, told “Misspelling” podcast listeners Tuesday about the actors’ “brawl” — which first came to light when “A Good Bad Boy” was published in March.

The “infamous” altercation, which took place at her family’s Christmas Eve party, was “broken up” by Jason Priestley.

The actress, 51, recalled, “I came in with Nick. … Luke couldn’t hide [his dislike]. When Nick would say hi, he would look away and walk away.

“I don’t know what exactly happened, but I think Nick approached Luke to be like, ‘What’s up?’” she continued. “I don’t know what happened next. … In all fairness, Nick instigated it. But Luke was like, ‘I love you so much, I can’t take this anymore.’”

Spelling added that she apologized to Savalas at the time while “crying” and begging him not to leave the holiday bash.

Even though her family “went back and celebrated Christmas” and “moved on” from the drama, the “BH90210” star was “embarrassed.”

She subsequently did not speak to Perry “for months on set” because she was “pissed” and “so upset.”

However, Spelling acknowledged, “Of course he was right and was trying to protect me and save me from this [relationship, but] I was young and foolish.”

She added that Perry, who died in 2019 at age 52, had been “like a big brother to” her and “couldn’t stand by” during her toxic relationship from 1992 to 1995.

“We started not talking for awhile,” Spelling emphasized, noting that the “Riverdale” alum later told her why he pulled back from their friendship.

“I couldn’t watch you go through this,” Perry said, according to Spelling. “You were like family to me. Seeing this guy, the way he treated you wasn’t OK and I couldn’t stand by anymore.”

Spelling dated Savalas from 1992 to 1995.

Spelling clarified that she and Savalas are “fine now” and “on speaking terms” more than 20 years after their breakup.

The “Kiss the Bride” star previously spoke about their “nightmare” romance in an Entertainment Weekly interview.

“He was never physically abusive, but he was verbally abusive, telling me 10 times a day how ugly I was,” she claimed in 1996.

Savalas did not respond to her public allegations at the time.

Spelling name-dropped more celebs on Monday’s episode, telling listeners she shared a kiss with John Corbett prior to his “Sex and the City” fame.

The “foolish” podcast host was “kind of dating but not dating” someone else, so she “didn’t reciprocate” Corbett’s continued advances.
