Tiffani Amber Thiessen Cancels Plan to Have Self Kidnapped by Bikers

Actress and former 'Saved by the Bell' and 'Beverly Hills 90210' star Tiffani Amber Thiessen has reportedly cancelled plans to play herself in a real-life drama where she was to be kidnapped and held for ransom by bikers.

According to an anonymous source in-the-know, Thiessen's plot to have herself abducted by members of the notorious Los Angeles motorcycle gang The Skidmark Boys was peremptorily scrapped in the aftermath of the Jussie Smollett fiasco in Chicago.

"(They) were going to take her up to one of (their) hideouts up in the hills, maybe rough her up a bit, send some pictures out over social media, get people thinking about Tiffani Amber Thiessen again, but then that Empire guy's business happened and she backed out," the man said.

Describing the aborted stunt 'absolutely foolproof', the man noted that the gang was even planning to kidnap a transient woman to use for body parts they could mail to media outlets until their demands were met.

"(They) were going to send a homeless lady's ears and whatnot into TMZ until Tiffani got what she wanted - a recurring role on either 'Chicago Med' or 'Grey's Anatomy'," the man claimed. "It couldn't have failed."

For her part, Thiessen denies the plot ever existed, but did say she would be interested in any consideration for a role on either of the shows mentioned.

"I've always wanted to play a doctor," Thiessen said.
