In February of 2020, Shannen Doherty disclosed that she was undergoing treatment for cancer at the stage 4 level.

There has been a passing of Shannen Doherty, who was most recognized for her appearances in Beverly Hills, 90210, and Charmed. 53 was her age. ET is able to verify.

According to a statement released by Leslie Sloane, the actress’s longtime publicist, “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress, Shannen Doherty,” and ET was informed of this news. “On Saturday, July 13th she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.”

The following is an excerpt from the statement: “The devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie.” Please respect the family’s request for privacy at this difficult time so that they may mourn in peace.

In the month of June, Doherty made an emotional announcement on her podcast called Let’s Be Clear that she will be starting chemotherapy for her stage 4 breast cancer. This decision was made after the composition of her cancer cells had advanced.

“At first, I believed everything was going well. Doherty expressed her feelings as she grew tearful and stated, “I am having to go back on chemotherapy, and it is really difficult. The idea of going through that all over again has completely destroyed me.” “It is quite challenging. I am completely and utterly shattered by the idea of going through that process once again. Yes, I was aware that I was in stage 4, yes, I was aware that it was a very severe condition, yes, I have made measures to protect my family and clean up a lot of things, but it has completely destroyed me. But when you have to go to the hospital and you have to, you know, be put under [and] a port put in you, it becomes very real in an immensely different manner.”

A little over a week before she passed away, on July 8, the last episode of Let’s Be Clear was shown on television.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight (ET) in December 2023, the actress of Beverly Hills 90210 discussed the significance of use her podcast to elevate her fight against cancer and to tell her own personal experience.

“The past, the present, the future, hopes, and ambitions are all important aspects to consider. She said, “I tend to get very personal.” What occurred in my three marriages, what happened on Charmed, and what happened on 90210 are all things that I go into detail about. The loss of my father and the impact it had on me are topics that I discuss. It is personal in the most intense way possible. I discuss about my experience with cancer, which is obviously a significant part of the show.

Doherty was notified that she needed to have brain surgery when her cancer returned. This was at the same time that she learnt of her then-husband Kurt Iswarienko’s alleged infidelity, and she subsequently filed for divorce. This was one of the challenges that she had to confront. Doherty made a request for spousal assistance from Iswarienko in the month of June, when she disclosed that the residuals from Charmed had been depleted.

Despite this, she maintained a positive outlook on her future.

“I’ve loved in the past, and even though it didn’t work out, it was still really beautiful, and I learned a lot from the person and appreciated them,” Doherty further revealed. “Even with the marriage that is now over, there were some great times.”
