Shannen Doherty opened up about her 3 marriages on her podcast. What she said

Shannen Doherty was in the process of divorcing her husband, Kurt Iswarienko, before her death.

The actor passed away on July 13 at the age of 53 following a long battle with cancer.

Prior to her death, Doherty had spoken openly about the challenges of going through a divorce. Most recently, she described it as "exhausting" during the June 23 episode of her “Let’s Be Crystal Clear” podcast.

Per court documents reviewed by TODAY.com, Doherty filed for an uncontested divorce from Iswarienko on July 12, waiving spousal support and agreeing to settle the case out of court.

As Doherty's fans mourn her loss, here's a look back at her relationship with Iswarienko and her two prior husbands.

Kurt Iswarienko (2011-2024)

Doherty married her third husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, in 2011.

In 2016, the actor gave her former husband a social media shout-out as he supported her while she battled cancer.

“It’s challenging to love thru grief, sickness, an uncertain future. It’s hard to feel sexy and beautiful when going thru chemo and therefore it’s challenging to allow one to love you,” she wrote. “I imagine my husband has faced challenges during this time with me and yet here we are...stronger than ever.”

In April 2023, Doherty filed for divorce.

“Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted. Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option,” her rep, Leslie Sloane, told TODAY.com in a statement at the time.

Later that year, Doherty said she learned that her husband allegedly had an affair before she underwent brain surgery.

“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,” she said during the Dec. 6, 2023 episode of her “Let’s Be Clear“ podcast.

Saying she felt "so betrayed," Doherty went on to explain that she told Iswarienko she didn't want him by her side during the surgery.

“At the end of the day, I just felt so incredibly unloved by someone I was with for 14 years, by someone that I loved with all my heart,” she said.

TODAY.com reached out to Iswarienko for comment at the time of the podcast but did not immediately hear back.

During the June 23 episode of her podcast, Doherty confronted recent media coverage of her divorce, saying that there are "so many different nuances that people will never understand."

She was referring to coverage of a declaration filed in court saying Iswarienko had “intentionally” delayed their divorce settlement “in hopes that I will not survive the divorce proceedings.”

“I don’t understand why people find it so fascinating — boredom, wanting to make money off of a story — whatever it is, I can tell you that it’s really hurtful, and unfortunately there was no way for me to do it more privately,” Doherty said. “It is what it is.”

On June 21 of this year, Doherty filed court documents to request spousal support, payment for her attorney's fees and a contribution to her accounting fees and costs. However, separate documents filed on July 12, the day before she died, show that she waived spousal support and agreed to settle the case out of court.

While reflecting on her marriage during the June 23 episode of her podcast, Doherty called the process "exhausting" and "not easy."

“I did love my husband, and when you get so hurt by their actions, you just feel betrayed and like a sucker,” she said.

Rick Salomon (2002-2003)

Doherty and poker place Rick Salomon got married in 2002 after a short courtship. Their marriage lasted months before it was annulled.

“We got annulled in May 2003. So technically we don’t have to call each other ex-wife and ex-husband because we got annulled, but we still do,” Doherty said in May 2024 when Salomon appeared on her podcast.

Doherty acknowledged that they "got married super fast" on the podcast. In Salomon's recollection, they tied the knot within weeks.

When they were ready to say "I do," the couple went to Las Vegas to make things official.

Doherty said their marriage was "tumultuous at times" but said she "always loved" Salomon.

"You always made me laugh, you always made me smile. Sometimes you made me cry, but that's only when you didn't come home because you were off doing other stuff — not cheating or any of that stuff, but other stuff," she said.

Doherty said Salomon's drug addiction led to the demise of their relationship. However, she applauded him for getting sober later on and joked that she should've waited to marry him.

“I was stupid. I should've just said, 'No this guy’s not done yet. He's gonna go back in the oven. We’re gonna let him bake some more,'" she teased.

Despite their marital problems, the duo remained friends and Doherty thanked Salomon for always staying loyal to her.

"Regardless of what happened with you and me (I knew that) I had somebody in my corner, that I could call you and be like, 'Hey, I'm in trouble.' Or 'I need you to bail me out of jail.' Or 'I need you to do this' and you'd do it," she said.

Ashley Hamilton (1993-1994)

Doherty married her first husband, Ashley Hamilton, in 1993. The couple went their separate ways in 1994. Ashley Hamilton is the son of actors George Hamilton and Alana Stewart.

During an episode of her podcast in January 2024, the actor recalled how she was fired from “90210” after her challenging marriage led to lapses in her professionalism.

“Towards my last season, I was in a really horrible marriage, and there were things that were transpiring in that marriage that made it really hard for me to consistently be on time for work,” she said, adding that this created a “very big problem” for her co-stars.

Doherty said it was her own "responsibility" to stay professional, but said that she wishes somebody on set had warned her that her actions had consequences.

"I certainly wish that I had been sort of sat down and sort of looked at and said, ‘Listen, the end result is going to be this. The end result is you are going to get fired because none of us are willing to put up with it anymore. And I understand that you have an issue in your personal life, but that also can’t bleed into work. You also have to get your s--- together,'" she said.

Doherty said she "blame(d)" herself and said she "should have left (the) relationship earlier."
