Shannen Doherty’s friend called out Doherty’s estranged husband, Kurt Iswarienko, for a lack of “humanity” before her death.

“I’m really sad and upset about my friend Shannen’s death … Because of the divorce she was going through at the time,” Tara Furiani, Doherty’s friend, wrote on LinkedIn.
“She had stage 4 breast cancer that has metastasized to numerous parts of her body, death was inevitable and she knew that… made peace with that.
“But, her pain and suffering in the months preceding it didn’t have to be so profound if her husband was just a decent human being,” Furiani continued. “Could have just displayed a little humanity to his dying wife.”
Allegedly, Doherty lost her SAG insurance during her cancer battle, while Doherty claimed Iswarienko was attempting to delay a judgment or payment until she passed away.
In fact, just last month, Doherty alleged — in legal docs — that her estranged husband “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.”
Perhaps this is what Furiani was hinting at in her LinkedIn post.
Shannen Doherty’s Friend Slams Doherty’s Estranged Husband for Lack of ‘Humanity’
According to her LinkedIn profile, Furiani is a business consultant who runs a company called Not the HR Lady. She posted to the public about her dismay regarding her dear friend’s death — and the divorce preceding it.
“Life is so hard… life is extra hard with cancer and without the support you thought you’d have,” she wrote. “If you have the opportunity to be a decent person, take it. You have no idea what people are dealing with and going through…”
Furiani ended with the following advice: “Oh, and ladies… please get screened [for breast cancer]. We shouldn’t be losing people anymore to this. Early detection is critical.”
