Did Kanye West just charm his wife Bianca Censori’s mum in Los Angeles?

She added: “Do I need to have three dining room tables? The answer is no, none of us really need all the stuff that we have, and we could all do with a little bit of downsizing and not be a hoarder, which I was becoming with all my furniture.”

Doherty, 52, said the revelations about downsizing came as she began cleaning up a property she had in Tennessee. In case of her death, the actor said doesn’t want leave her mother puzzling about what to do with “four storage units filled with furniture”.

When deciding to get rid of the excess furniture and letting go of her Tennessee home, Doherty said she felt she was “giving up” her dream of building an animal rescue and “throwing in the towel” on her cancer journey.

After the initial grief of letting go, Doherty said she took comfort in knowing she could carry out her animal-rescue aspirations by working with other rescues, and that selling her unneeded furniture could go toward her “bucket fund”.

“I get to take my mum on vacations because I’ll have all this extra money lying around, and I’m not digging into the money in my savings that’s going to make sure everybody in my life is taken care of once I’m dead,” Doherty said. During the podcast, she recalled her mother’s teary reaction to a mother-daughter trip to Italy.

Doherty’s mother won’t be the only one benefiting from the 90210 star’s downsizing. She said she will also spread the love to her friends and loved ones – people who will care for her mother if she dies.

With long-stored furniture paying for prospective cross-country and overseas trips, Doherty added that the downsizing will benefit one other person: herself. “I’m cleaning stuff up so I can have a better quality of life,” she said.
