Shannen Doherty filed for divorce, rep says her ex’s ‘agent is intimately involved’
Shannen Doherty has been through the wringer lately. She’s been battling stage 4 breast cancer since 2020 and has been open about what that’s like. Fans were happy to see her at 90s Con in Hartford last month where she said she was feeling great. Unfortunately she’s going through a divorce with her husband of 12 years, Kurt Iswarienko. Shannen’s publicist made it clear in her statement that it was not Shannen’s decision, writing “Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option.” That really makes it sound like he cheated, and in case there was any doubt left her publicist added “You can contact Kurt’s agent, Collier Grimm at PICTUREKID, as she is intimately involved.” Holy sh-t she is pulling no punches! Here’s Page Six’s writeup, and they tried to contact the agent for comment!
Shannen Doherty filed for divorce from husband Kurt Iswarienko after she “had no other option,” the “Charmed” star’s rep tells Page Six.
“Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted. Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option,” Doherty’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, said in a statement.
“You can contact Kurt’s agent, Collier Grimm at PICTUREKID, as she is intimately involved,” Sloane added, suggesting that another woman caused the divorce.
Grimm did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Sources told the outlet that Doherty — who was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in February 2020 after beating the illness — is “not well” health-wise, making their “acrimonious” split all the more difficult.
Doherty previously said in a 2019 interview with People magazine that her first breast cancer battle changed her marriage with Iswarienko for the better.
“Cancer solidified us,” she said at the time. “Kurt and I have a much deeper appreciation for each other now.”
Doherty is asking for spousal support, but for it not to be awarded to Iswarienko, 48, according to TMZ.
I checked Shannen’s Instagram and she doesn’t seemed to have scrubbed it of photos of Kurt. I got some of the ones here from her IG. She’s not pulling any punches though with this statement and she even named the other woman! People Magazine posted it without the woman’s full name, but Page Six didn’t care. Shannen is going hard with her representation, too. Her lawyer is Laura Wasser! No wonder the filing is on TMZ and we’re hearing the details of Kurt’s affair. TMZ also reports that there is no prenup and that they don’t have children. I feel so bad for Shannen and hope she has family and friends around her at this time. I also hope she’s doing OK health-wise.
