Shannen Doherty, 52, learned about estranged husband Kurt Iswarienko’s alleged affair right before she had brain surgery to fight her stage 4 cancer.
Shannen Doherty claims she found out her husband of over a decade was having an affair right before undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor.
During the premiere episode of her “Let’s Be Clear” podcast, the 52-year-old recalled dealing with her divorce from Kurt Iswarienko while simultaneously battling stage four cancer at the beginning of 2023.
“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,” Doherty alleged.
Although the actress admits Iswarienko “wanted to” be there for her, she ultimately decided that she “couldn’t go into that surgery with him there.”
“I felt so betrayed,” the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star said. “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.”
While the “Heathers” actress was “petrified” to go into surgery, she thankfully had her mother, brother and best friend Chris by her side in the absence of Iswarienko.
Although the surgery was a successful, she still had to undergo more radiation afterwards and continues to battle the debilitating disease.
“Just to have to go through all of that while trying to figure out if you’re going to get a friggin’ divorce and trying to get to the truth of that,” she added.
