For 14 years, Shannen Doherty was married to Kurt Iswarienko, a photographer. However, during the most trying period of her life, the actress discovered her husband’s betrayal amid her diagnosis of brain cancer.

Even during her surgery, he was unfaithful to Shannen. She battled not only against her illness but also against her spouse.

She had hoped for his support and assistance, but he refused, citing the high cost of her treatment. Yet he had lived extravagantly off her wealth throughout their marriage, spending without restraint. Shannen realized she needed a divorce.

Kurt delayed this, hoping to inherit her estate upon her death. Throughout, she pursued the divorce as a matter of principle, while her family witnessed the profound toll it took on her.

The stress took a severe toll on her health, and she could no longer contend with her husband. Eventually, she opted to forego financial support from him. Kurt finally signed the papers, granting Shannen her divorce. Sadly, the next day, her heart stopped.
