LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Shannen Doherty, the 'Charmed' star's recent divorce from her longtime spouse Kurt Iswarienko has left her devastated. Now she has decided to stop supporting Iswarienko financially, as per a report.
"She’s refusing to give him a dime. This was the ultimate betrayal — he shattered her world," a source close to her described the situation to RadarOnline. Shannen, the report suggested, is preparing for a court battle and has hired famed divorce attorney Laura Wasser, who is recognized for defending high-profile clients, to handle legal affairs.
'She is still in shock over what went down'
Shannen's representative, Leslie Sloane, previously claimed in a statement that divorce was not what she wanted, but she felt she had no other option. Shannen's health has also been reported to have suffered as a result of the continual stress due to ongoing drama. "She is still in shock over what went down. They discovered the truth by accident around the holidays. She didn’t see this coming," a source told the outlet.
Shannen's divorce suit contains a demand for monthly support from Kurt
The pair married in October 2011, and they divorced in January 2023. After 11 years of marriage, Shannen filed for divorce from Iswarienko last month. Unfortunately, the couple has no children together. Shannen's divorce suit contains a demand for monthly support from Kurt. The lack of a prenuptial agreement before their wedding in 2011, however, complicates their divorce proceedings, it noted.
She wanted the world to know this was Kurt’s fault
While the circumstances of the situation are not mentioned, it is evident that Shannen sought to hold Iswarienko liable for the breakup of their marriage. The source further said, "While no one has come out and said 'affair,' Shannen knew what she was doing when she had her rep release the statement. She wanted the world to know this was Kurt’s fault."
'Shannen is fighting for her life'
The separation couldn't have come at a worse time for Shannen, who is presently battling stage IV breast cancer. As the source stated to the publication. "But the timing couldn’t be worse, Shannen is fighting for her life." The betrayal from Iswarienko has deeply wounded Shannen, particularly as she never expected such disloyalty during her grueling battle with cancer. The source asserts, "You don’t get any lower than that."
