The actor opened up on her 'Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty' podcast how she found out that her marriage 'was essentially over' shortly before her brain surgery after discovering her husband of 14 years had been having an affair.

Beverly Hills 90210 actor Shannen Doherty—who has been battling stage four breast cancer—said she discovered that her husband of 11 years had been having a two-year affair shortly before going into surgery to remove a brain tumor.

Doherty debuted her Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty, podcast on Wednesday when she made the revelation about the dissolution of her marriage to photographer Kurt Iswarienko.


Doherty's publicist said she filed for divorce from Iswarienko in April 2023.

He was her third husband after being married to actor Ashley Hamilton from October 1993 to April 1994 and high-stakes poker player Rick Salomon for nine months from 2002 to 2003.

Before going into details about Iswarienko's infidelity, Doherty said that in June 2023, she learned that her stage four breast cancer had spread to her brain and was terminal.

She said that doctors wanted to perform brain surgery so they could examine the tumor to determine “what was happening and then what would be the proper protocol in treatment.”

Doherty said she was “petrified” to get the surgery because she thought she would likely die from it or lose some ability to speak or walk.

After learning of her husband's betrayal ahead of her brain surgery, Doherty recalled:

“I went into that surgery early in the morning and I went in after I found out that my marriage was essentially over, that my husband had been carrying on an affair for two years."
“To not go in that surgery, even though, being very clear, he wanted to go, I couldn’t go into that surgery with him there. I felt so betrayed.”

She continued:

“At the end of the day, I just felt so incredibly unloved by someone I was with for 14 years, by someone I loved with all my heart."

She said she was supported through the surgery by her mom, brother, and best friends.

On the podcast, she admitted she was obsessed with learning more about her ex-husband's infidelity "through conversations, expecting someone to be honest with me."

“If you share 14 years together and you cheated, doesn’t that person deserve the absolute truth regardless of how much that hurts them?”
"I also spoke to the girlfriend of two years that he cheated on me with, which is a whole other episode."


In February 2020, Doherty announced that her cancer had returned a year prior and was now stage four.

Last month, she revealed that her cancer had now spread to her bones.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
