Shannen Doherty, beloved actress from the nineties and iconic star from Beverly Hills 90210, is facing a difficult battle against cancer which she has been bravely fighting for ten years. Last year, the disease reached her bones, prompting her to share more personal details and reflections about her life.
Recently, during an episode of her podcast ‘Let’s Be Clear’, Doherty made a shocking revelation about her funeral plans. The 52-year-old actress hopes for her funeral not to be crowded, expressing her desire to keep away people who “don’t really like” her. While she didn’t disclose any names, she mentioned that it would be a “too long” list, emphasizing that she wants only those who truly value her to be there.
In a thoughtful statement, Doherty expressed her hopes that those “banned” from her funeral will “get the hint” so that they do not feel pressured to attend. She envisions her funeral as a “festival of love” with the objective of celebrating her life.
It’s been no secret that Doherty’s separation from her ex-husband Kurt Iswarenko last year came amid public disagreements. Doherty accused him of cheating on her for years, especially during her tough battle against cancer.
Having first been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, Doherty has been vocal about sharing her experience with treatments, remission, and the return of her cancer. In a recent interview with People magazine, she expressed her determination to keep living, loving, creating, and hoping for change.
Shannen Doherty remains an inspiring and brave figure in her public struggle with cancer, sharing her personal battles while encouraging others to keep fighting. Her openness and sincerity continue to resonate with fans worldwide.
