Shannen Doherty files for divorce from Kurt Iswarienko after she had ‘no other option’

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. 

TMZ reported that Doherty, 52, filed the docs Friday in Los Angeles, stating the two have been separated since January.

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.

There is reportedly no prenup between the actress and the photographer, who have been married since October 2011 and share no children. 

Iswarienko is the third husband of Doherty, who is being represented by celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum was previously wed to actor Ashley Hamilton from 1993 to 1994 and poker player Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003.
