A new lawsuit against her business manager reveals that
Shannen Doherty—of
Heathers,
90210, and
Charmed—is suffering from breast cancer.
“Shannen has filed a lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, in which she claims Tanner, Mainstain, Glynn & Johnson took 5% of her earnings in return for managing her finances, including payment of her medical insurance to SAG,” reports TMZ.
She says the firm ignored an invoice for payment of the premium in 2014. The insurance was cancelled and apparently she couldn’t re-enroll until 2015. Shannen says during the lapse period she didn’t regularly visit doctors, which had been her practice.
In March 2015, after getting her insurance back, she went to a doctor and discovered she had “invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node.” She says doctors told her the cancer spread during 2014, when she was uninsured, and she blames her business manager.
Mainstain has replied with the following statement: “Tanner Mainstain is saddened to learn that Ms. Doherty is suffering from cancer and wishes her a full recovery. However, the claim that Tanner Mainstain caused her to be uninsured, prevented her from seeking medical care, or somehow contributed to her cancer is patently false.” [TMZ]
