Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Shannen Doherty has revealed that she used to cry herself to sleep when she received bad press.

The actress told Radar magazine that the attention she received during her stint on the show often upset her.

"I was exploring who I was as a person and testing my own boundaries and trying to be a normal 18, 19, 20-year-old, and I got raked over the coals. Many nights I cried myself to sleep over that stuff," she said.

Doherty recently denied reports that she attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in 2000.

"Sometimes you can find some truth, a little nugget somewhere, but not one thing about this was true," she said.
