Exclusive: Shenae Grimes' Secret Heartache

January 30, 2009


Partying out of control! Diva behavior! Rumors of an eating disorder!

Making your way alone in Los Angeles is daunting for any teenage girl away from home for the first time. And it was no different for Shenae Grimes, who made the move from Toronto last summer to star on 90210. Now Star has learned exclusively of the secret heartache that fueled the actress' off-the-rails behavior.

In our Feb. 9 issue — on sale now — we report that Shenae's dearest hometown friend, Cory Mintz, 20, was one of three young men killed last July.

"Shenae was my son Cory's best friend; they might have even dated a little bit," his dad, Toronto businessman Allan Mintz, tells Star. "When Cory died, it was incredibly hard for Shenae. She was beyond heartbroken."

The death of her friend sent her into a downward spiral, an insider says. Adding: "The news was devastating to her and began a dark period in her life."

Pick up Star today for the full story, including the details of the tragedy, Mr. Mintz' full interview and what Shenae has been doing to get her life back on track.

Cory Mintz was my sisters boyfriend. He cheated on her with Shenae. She also dated my bestfriends brother. She is not a nice girl

You're a joke and a half... yeah his family couldn't possibly be suffering as much with their son's/brother's death than this piece of work. Just tell her to lay off the nose candy and she'll be alright!

You people have no idea what it's like to lose you best friend. Shenae is a beautiful person. As much as the Mintz family is suffering, Shanae is suffering more, trust me.

I don't have a clue who this person is, or what they have done.

She needs to pit away her diva attitude and realize what she is and what she really wants to do with her life.

Who is this slut? I really don't know who she is nor do I care
-- Mary Katherine Gallagher-

Calling her an actress is a disgrace to the rest of the acting community. I've seen her attempts...not worth watching.
-- Not Impressed

She's an overacting diva who has a few life lessons ahead of her. I wouldn't necessarily blame her for the story though, tabloids love to twist tragic events into "news".
