Shannen and Kurt's journey together began in 2011 when they wed in a beautiful ceremony. However, after 11 years of marriage, Shannen filed for divorce in April 2023. This marked her third marriage, following her unions with Ashley Hamilton and Rick Salomon.

In the months leading up to her passing, Shannen faced significant challenges. In June, she accused Kurt of intentionally delaying the legal process to avoid his financial obligations.

She sought spousal support as her residual income dwindled, yet struggled to obtain the necessary financial information from Kurt regarding his work.

"It is simply not right that Kurt be permitted to prolong our divorce in hopes that I die before he is required to pay me while he continues to live his life and shirk his responsibilities to his dying wife of more than 11 years," Shannen stated in filed paperwork.

Kurt's attorney, Katherine Heersema, responded by asserting that Shannen had been offered a settlement deal in October 2023, which she declined.

"Kurt is not 'simply wait[ing] for Shannen to die.' He wants the best for Shannen and he wants both of them to be able to put this case behind them and move forward," Heersema stated.

In her response, Shannen explained that she rejected the proposed settlements because they failed to address critical issues regarding Kurt's original works created during their marriage and his earning capacity.

Shannen's passing on July 13 marked the end of a long and courageous battle with cancer. Her publicist, Leslie Sloane, confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement: "It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease." Surrounded by her loved ones and her cherished dog, Bowie, Shannen departed this world leaving a legacy of strength, grace, and love.

Shannen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, a diagnosis that shook her and her fans to the core. In 2017, she shared the hopeful news that she was in remission. However, in a heartbreaking revelation, she announced in 2020 that her cancer had returned and progressed to stage 4.

In an emotional interview with Good Morning America, Shannen shared her struggle: "It's going to come out in a matter of days or a week that I'm stage 4. So my cancer came back, and that's why I'm here. I don't think I've processed it. It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways."

Her resilience and openness about her journey inspired many. In a poignant Instagram post last year, Shannen revealed that her cancer had spread to her brain, sharing a video of herself undergoing radiation therapy. She later disclosed that it had also metastasized to her bones.
