• Shannen Doherty denies claims of having an open marriage with ex Kurt Iswarienko
• She filed for divorce from Kurt in April 2023 citing “irreconcilable differences”
• She accused Kurt of dating another woman behind her back for two years amid her ongoing cancer battle
Here is what happened:
“Shannen Doherty, the former star of Beverly Hills, 90210, recently called out allegations that she had an open marriage with her ex-husband, Kurt Iswarienko, and lambasted a report that claimed she knew about his infidelity before undergoing brain surgery. Taking to Instagram on December 12, Shannen wrote, “Let’s Be Clear, the truth matters. The story supposedly comes from my husbands friends (soon to be ex) that he told me two years ago he was cheating on me and we have had an open marriage.” She dismissed the article, calling it “an absolute lie” and vowed to tell her side of the story on a future episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast. Shannen also expressed her disappointment towards the “friends/girlfriend” who she believes tried to spread this false story, urging them to not resort to lies in order to avoid the truth.”
“Shannen filed for divorce from Kurt in April after 11 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split. After an indefinite hiatus from publicly discussing the cause of the breakup, she recently revealed that Kurt had been dating another woman during her ongoing cancer battle. She further disclosed that she felt betrayed and chose not to have him accompany her to the hospital for her operation.”
“Shannen also expressed her dismay over her failed marriages, sharing, “I am horrified that I can’t keep a relationship together. I think it is a reflection on me, but this one I think this one is on him. I’ve failed three times at marriage, but I still believe in love.” Despite the challenges she has faced, Shannen continues to put herself out there and hold onto hope, highlighting her ongoing belief in love despite the difficulties she has experienced in her personal life.”
