When Shannen Doherty Found Out Her Husband Was Cheating

Famed actress from Charmed, Shannon Doherty, has been through quite a lot of turmoil and upset in her adult life. Despite starring on multiple hit shows and carving out a spot for herself among other aspiring talent in Hollywood, she hasn’t had it easy at all.

She’s had to deal with some pretty profound ups and downs over the course of her successful career. But, how did she manage to deal with discovering her husband was being unfaithful to her at a time when she was most vulnerable?

We’ve got the scoop on her story below for you, and it’s an interesting tale of betrayal mixed with triumph.

Shannon Said ‘… I Just Felt So Incredibly Unloved By Someone I Was With For 14 Years …’

According to the Daily Beast, Shannon first opened up about her battle with cancer and the difficulties she had been facing for the longest time in her relationship way back in the first episode of “Let’s Be Clear”. 

She dropped the bomb on just how crazy it was for her to learn of her husband’s long-running affair on her way to the operating room for life-threatening brain surgery. The shocking revelation led to a not too surprising divorce after 11 long years of marriage.

The Daily Beast reported her saying: “I felt so betrayed. 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.”

Although cheating was allegedly a no-no for Shannon, she surprisingly stuck with her husband for a little while after discovering what he had done. The Daily Beast reported that she had done this because she was so confused by the situation at the time that she wasn’t sure what steps to take.

Shannon Said ‘… I Am Horrified That I Can’t Keep A Relationship Together …’ 

Shannon has actually been married more than once, and this was her third husband, following Rick Saloman and Ashley Hamilton, according to The Daily Beast. 

According to EW, Shannon admitted: “It was embarrassing. I am horrified that I can’t keep a relationship together. I think it is a reflection on me, although this one… I think it’s on him.”

She also described her entire experience with brain surgery as the most frightening thing she has ever been through in her life and claimed she wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to make it through the ordeal. 

She was apparently worried that she would emerge from her surgery without the ability to walk or talk anymore and, obviously, learning about her husband’s cheating right before the morning of her surgery didn’t help her feel any better about the situation.

Although Shannon has faced a ton of hardships in life and love, she had an inspiring take on everything she’s had to deal with so far. After beating cancer multiple times and hitting the brakes on multiple marriages, she’s still not done doing things her way.

According to EW, she said the following: “I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not — I’m not done.”
