Shannen Doherty Won a Settlement In Her Cancer Lawsuit Against Her Ex-Manager
The world first learned about Shannen Doherty's fight with breast cancer through a lawsuit. The actress had sued her former management firm, claiming they mismanaged her health insurance and prevented her from getting an earlier diagnosis. Now, TMZ reports that she has won a settlement in the lawsuit, though the amount of money she gets is staying under wraps.
During a lapse in payment in 2014, Doherty argued that she couldn't see doctors, and thus wasn't diagnosed with breast cancer until 2015, when it had already spread. According to People, the lawsuit claimed she has been unable to work since the diagnosis, and has racked up "significant" medical fees. Now, Doherty has been sharing the effects of her grueling treatment, including a mastectomy and chemotherapy. She shared photos of her loved ones shaving her head, and her heartbreaking story went viral.
Doherty has been undergoing chemotherapy, but she's still trying to get out and live her life, playing tennis with her husband and going out to dinner with friends. She even got her check taken care of by fans who thanked her for her "bravery" and "openness."
