Actress Shannen Doherty has made serious accusations against her estranged husband, Kurt Iswarienko, in a recent legal filing. Doherty claims that Iswarienko is intentionally delaying their divorce proceedings in the hopes that she will not survive long enough to receive the spousal support she is entitled to. The former “90210” star expressed her frustration at Iswarienko’s lavish spending habits while her own income has decreased significantly due to medical expenses related to her ongoing cancer treatments.
In the court documents filed in Los Angeles, Doherty revealed that she is requesting $15,343 monthly in spousal support from Iswarienko. She pointed out that while Iswarienko’s average annual earnings over the last three years of their marriage were $672,916, her own earnings averaged $259,708 during the same period. Despite the stark difference in their incomes, Doherty claimed that Iswarienko has not made any temporary spousal support payments or contributed to her legal and accounting fees since the divorce proceedings began.
Doherty, who is currently battling stage 4 breast cancer, highlighted the financial strain she is under due to her medical condition. She emphasized that Iswarienko’s lack of financial support has made it challenging for her to cover the costs of her experimental treatments aimed at prolonging her life. In contrast, Doherty alleged that Iswarienko has been indulging in luxury expenses like using their airplane, spending on medical spas, jewelry, Gucci products, and flights for his agent, whom she claims he is in a relationship with.
Moreover, Doherty accused Iswarienko of playing a “sadistic push and pull game” by withholding information about his income from her, further complicating the divorce proceedings. The actress expressed her disappointment and sense of betrayal upon discovering that her husband had allegedly been unfaithful, leading to the decision to file for divorce in April 2023.
Doherty’s legal filing sheds light on the challenges she faces not only in her health battle but also in navigating a contentious divorce with her estranged husband. The actress’s candid revelations about her personal struggles provide a glimpse into the complexities of her situation and the emotional toll it has taken on her. As the legal battle unfolds, Doherty’s fight for financial support and a fair resolution to the divorce proceedings continues, underscoring the importance of addressing issues of spousal support and financial transparency in divorce cases.
