‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ star goes to war with TV giant over missing $100K — three years after brutal street fight: suit

Actor Ian Ziering is suing The CW, production company 7BMG and its chief executive, alleging he was not paid a $100,000 instalment for hosting a television road rally. The dispute matters because his contract reportedly named three cars as collateral, but he says they were not made available to him.

Ziering says he was hired in September 2025 to host “The Great American Road Rally”, in which celebrities drive 2,211 miles along Route 66. He received $60,000 and was due two further payments of $100,000; the suit identifies the October 21, 2026 instalment as unpaid but does not say whether the August payment was made. He is seeking the outstanding sum plus interest, and the defendants were contacted for comment. The next episode is scheduled for November 11.
