Hollywood publicists are usually known for pouring cold water on scandals, but this time it’s the flak serving up some juicy A-list goss! Last week, after Shannen Doherty filed for divorce from her husband of 11 years, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, her publicist Leslie Sloane released a statement claiming that Iswarienko’s agent, Collier Grimm at PICTUREKID, was “intimately” involved in the split.
Sloane’s statement to PageSix.com’s Evan Real seemed to throw Grimm under the bus, even going so far as to name her place of business. According to her LinkedIn page, Grimm founded the photography agency last year and is also a yoga instructor. TMZ reported that Doherty, 52, filed the docs Friday in Los Angeles, stating the two have been separated since January. Sources told the outlet that Doherty — who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in February 2020 after entering remission in 2017 — is “not well”, making their “acrimonious” split all the more difficult.
Doherty said in a 2019 interview with People magazine that her first breast cancer battle changed her marriage with Iswarienko for the better. “Cancer solidified us,” she said at the time. “Kurt and I have a much deeper appreciation for each other now.”
