Divorce Is 'Last Thing' Shannen Doherty Wanted — Husband’s Agent Allegedly 'Intimately Involved' in Split
- "Beverly Hills, 90210" actress Shannen Doherty filed for divorce from her husband after 11 years of marriage.
- The 52-year-old star's publicist revealed Kurt Iswarienko's agent is "intimately involved" in their divorce.
- Soon, a cryptic message surfaced on the actress's Instagram profile.
When sources got hold of the official paperwork involved in Shannen Doherty's divorce, everyone learned that the actress had separated from her husband earlier this year. It was confirmed that the divorce was bound to happen.
Despite having no children during Doherty's 11-year marriage to Kurt Iswarienko, the couple's divorce is nothing short of messy.

Per sources, the couple separated in January 2023, and the actress does not favor spousal support for her ex.
What makes the divorce even more difficult for the "Little House on the Prairie" actress is her stage 4 cancer. After undergoing several rounds of chemotherapy and a mastectomy since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, Doherty claimed it affected her marriage significantly.

She admitted that there were some problems in her marriage before her cancer diagnosis, but things quickly changed soon after. "Cancer solidified us," the actress shared.
According to Doherty, she and her husband wouldn't speak to each other for days after an argument, let alone resolve their differences. However, their relationship wasn't the same after the diagnosis.
"We don't let a night go by mad at each other," Doherty confessed in a 2019 interview, revealing how her marriage changed after cancer.
Despite sharing a strengthened bond with her husband post-cancer, Doherty ultimately filed for divorce. Her publicist recently revealed that a third person was "intimately involved" in the couple's divorce.
Why Is Shannon Doherty Getting a Divorce?
After Doherty submitted the official documents in court on April 21, 2023, her publicist, Leslie Sloane, revealed that divorce was the "last thing" the actress wanted. But Sloane said the circumstances left Doherty with no choice, adding:
"You can contact Kurt's agent, Collier Grimm, at PICTUREKID, as she is intimately involved."
Grimm, who is the woman allegedly involved in Doherty's split with her photographer husband, owns the photography agency, PICTUREKID. Iswarienko is affiliated with the agency as an artist.
Besides running the photography agency, Grimm enjoys yoga and is said to be working as a yoga instructor. A source claims she did not respond to them when they approached her for remarks on Sloane's statement.
Shortly after the news of Doherty's divorce from Iswarienko reached the masses, the "Charmed" actress posted a cryptic message on Instagram.
How Did Shannon Comment on Her Divorce?
On her Instagram profile, with more than 1.9 million followers, Doherty shared a photo with a text. She did not write a caption or share who the message was aimed at.
The actress's mysterious message forced her fans to share their thoughts in the comments section, posting supportive messages after reading the powerful words posted by Doherty:
"The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness, and total respect."
As of now, more than 49,500 users have liked the Instagram post, and the numbers are still increasing. People have posted more than 1100 comments.
One user said, "Shannen, I adore and love you so much! It's for the best. Your ex-husband doesn't deserve your tears. Sending you tons of hugs!"
Another commented, "Isn't that what u said about your husband, how wonderful and supportive he was… etc., etc."
A third user stated, "I'm so sorry to hear the news. This quote now says it all, and I understand. I'm so sorry. Sending you love, hugs, and best wishes."
Other users consoled Doherty by saying it's better to break up than "stay in a bad relationship." After learning what happened, they slammed her ex-husband and told her she deserved a better relationship.
Worried for Doherty, some fans wished she would soon find another person, while others said it was better to remain "man-free." Despite their different opinions, most users wished the actress all the best and prayed for her future.
