Shannen Doherty entered into a lengthy legal battle with her ex-husband after filing for divorce in April 2023. Last month, Doherty accused Iswarienko of intentionally delaying the process to avoid having to pay her before she passed away.
In an episode of the podcast “Let’s Be Crystal Clear,” the actress spoke about the process and also referenced a statement she made to the Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming her ex-husband was “intentionally” delaying the settlement “in the hopes that I wouldn’t survive the divorce process.”
“I refuse to see and literally even until I was taping this podcast, I just thought, ‘Oh my God.’ There’s so many different nuances that people will never understand, and to just grab something off of a headline so that you can post a story is super annoying to me.”
“This has been exhausting, because obviously divorce is not easy, especially when you really loved someone,” she said. “I loved my husband, and when you’re so hurt by their actions, you feel betrayed and like a fool.”
But in the days leading up to her death, Doherty decided to settle her divorce with her ex-husband and signed paperwork to waive spousal support on July 12, just one day before she died. The actress also agreed to a “default or uncontested dissolution,” meaning the couple resolved the case outside of court.
Iswarienko signed the document on July 13, the same day Doherty passed away at the age of 53.
