[Blind Gossip] She was a child star on a popular TV series. She was recently caught shoplifting in a grocery store.
She had a few things in her hands that she carried to the checkout line, but we saw her put a few cans of tuna, a jar of sun dried tomatoes, and two small wheels of brie cheese in her handbag while she was shopping. When we pulled her aside at the check out and called her out, she got all uppity and claimed that she had put the stuff in her handbag because her hands were full and she just forgot. Yeah, right.
Guess those residual checks aren’t what they used to be.
In the end, she left the items and the store let her go.

Tori Spelling is a good guess but she was hardly a child when she auditioned for that 90210 show in disguise and got the part by her own merits ( elbow snicker Yeah right ). All those kids her and Dean have and no Trust fund or help from late Dad . If it is Tory , I do feel for her .

She was on “Saved By the Bell” when she was younger. Been acting since she was 8.

The tuna/Chicken of the Sea reference really makes me think of Jessica Simpson. It’s obviously not her, but is the person somehow connected to her?

Susan Olsen, aka “Thindy” Brady on The Brady Bunch? Wasn’t she fired recently from her radio job for saying some inappropriate, controversial things? Just a guess, she was my first thought.

jonty30 says
The uppity clue implies the person is a former black child star, but I don’t know who that might be otherwise.
I hope she can get her life together and is not relying upon the idea of some future part in tv.
stolidog says
What? What? What, what, what?
secrets says
I am sorry but where in this BI did you see it mentioning this is a black child star?
Gummeduptheworks says
It would be terrible if “uppity” were used as that kind of descriptor.
lovefifteen says
It most certainly does not imply the star is black. How absurd!
bhakti says
Excuse me, but in no way does the word “uppity” imply the person is black. I’m shocked and saddened that your mind went there and you wrote that.
Brunettetalk says
Way to twist the racist decoder ring!
NoseyNana2008 says
When did ‘uppity’ become a reference to a black person. Being from the south, I’ve heard that applied to anyone who thought they were better than others. Race was never part of the equation.
ninanicole says
Same.
amagod121 says
The uppity clue implies that the person thinks they are better than others and that could be a person of any race. Uppity used to have that racial connotation attached to it but no longer. In fact, when I heard it used here I thought of some well off white girl, to be honest. (And I’m white.)
Sharper_Teeth says
same, @aamagod121 I immediately thought of a rich white girl or woman
luvprue1 says
Former Child star: winona ryder . She is believed to be a kleptomaniac.
Optional: Depending on who the child star is, and the item she stole. If it’s under $100 I would let her go with a warning (if it was food items I would let her keep it)
Raoul Duke says
Winona is more of a film than tv actress. And she was Stranger Things – a pretty successful Netflix series that will have an upcoming season.
tellmemore says
Winona wasn’t a child star in a TV series.

Jodie Sweetin – (Stephanie Tanner Full house)
Clue – hands were FULL
kelseykkm says
That would be my guess too

Jodie has two seasons of Fuller House on Netflix right now, so no, it’s not her.

I am guessing La Lohan… aka Lindsey Lohan
westcoast sunset says
Tori Spelling?
bhakti says
Not sure who is is but if this happened in CA the manager couldn’t do much and everyone knows it. The police can’t do anything unless the items are over a certain amount. I’m so glad to be out of CA

Amanda Bynes
Goodgrief says
Well probably not Mayim Bialik even though she said she still cashes her 2cent royalty checks from her one episode of Doogie Howser. I don’t have a clue, a lot of former child stars are a mess or dead. So it could be anyone.
redstilettos says
She’s also a regular on Big Bang.
tellmemore says
At this point, she’s at least as well-known for her current show as for her childhood show (Blossom).

Ariel winter
tellmemore says
She’s not living off residual checks, her show is still on the air. She’s still a star in the show.
TexasHeat says
Stop hating on the woman, she’s definitely making bank…
yo1774 says
Oh come on, the hate she received is ridiculous but this is even more absurd, she is still in the show
carriebradshaw says
Maybe she’s cleptomaniac? There are Lot of wealthy people who steals Small things because it gaves them some kick. Tuna and cheese fits in this behaviour.
amagod121 says
Kim Richards.
Depends. If she was a senior citizen living on social security, I think I would have paid for the items then given them to her. There’s nothing sadder than seeing a senior struggling to get by on that small amount of social security and still buy food.
KatarinaJ says
Just an observation here but I’m fairly sure a senior citizen or former starlet stealing sun-dried tomatoes and brie isn’t starving.
Noseygirl says
Tori Spelling ?

Bella Thorne

It is pathetic if she is rich but it is very sad if she has no money to eat .
