Shannen Doherty files to divorce Kurt Iswarienko after 11 years of marriage: 'No other option'

Shannen Doherty has filed for divorce from Kurt Iswarienko.

The former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star, 52, filed for divorce from Iswarienko Friday after 11 years of marriage, her representative confirmed to USA TODAY. She and Iswarienko wed in October 2011.

"Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted," Doherty's representative Leslie Sloane said in a statement. "Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option."

USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Iswarienko for comment.

On Instagram Friday, Doherty shared a post that reads: "The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness and total respect."

Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2015 and revealed to USA TODAY in August 2016 that it had spread to her lymph nodes. After undergoing a single mastectomy that year, she completed radiation and chemotherapy treatments in February 2017; she announced she was in remission two months later.

In February 2020, she revealed on "Good Morning America" that she had a recurrence, and her cancer had metastasized." At the time, Doherty wrote on Instagram that she had faith in her ability to navigate the overwhelming period in her life.

“To say I have stress is an understatement,” Doherty captioned the post. “To say that I’m struggling is mild, but ... I believe that I will find my footing. I’ll dig deep for the inner strength I need to face it all.

“I pray I do it all with dignity and grace. I have so much to say, so much to share. I will – for now ... please know how much you all help lift me."
