Shannen Doherty In Dire Straits!

Shannen Doherty announced her cancer has returned.
Another controversial entertainer announced she's got cancer. This entertainer is a proud Republican and supported Donald J. Trump. You may have heard of the twin sister Brenda Walsh on the 1990s teen drama Beverly Hills 90210. 

Well, her name is Shannen Doherty and she's announced that her breast cancer returned and its Stage IV. 

The entertainer revealed on the morning agitators at GMA that her cancer has returned and she's struggled through heartache since. The shocking death of Luke Perry also brought a toll on the 90210 comeback on Fox and The CW.

The entertainer first had breast cancer in 2015 but went into remission in 2017. 

She learned that her cancer returned shortly after Perry's passing.

Doherty who is a conservative found it hard to get an acting gig because of her image as the 90s bad girl. She was difficult to work with on the set. She has been blackballed since.

She has appeared in Education Connection commercials.

The entertainer had became a victim of the California wildfires in 2018.

The 48-year old actress had been battling State Farm Insurance for years to regain some of the footing. But the insurance company denies her the dues. She got paid $1.3 million but denies cheating her out of insurance coverage.

She said on Tuesday she's opening up now because the diagnosis is detailed in documents that will soon become public as part of a lawsuit. She said she wanted to keep the diagnosis private.

"I still do. I don’t think I've processed it," she said. "It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways. I'm petrified. I'm pretty scared."

Doherty filed the lawsuit against her insurance company, State Farm, after her home was damaged by the Woolsey fire in 2018. She says some of her claims were unjustly denied. She said she didn't want people to hear about her diagnosis from court documents.

"I'd rather people hear it from me," she said. "I don't want it to be twisted. I don't want it to be a court document. I want it to be real and authentic, and I want to control the narrative."

After her most recent diagnosis, she went to work on the "90210" reboot. It launched soon after her friend and co-star, Luke Perry, passed away from a stroke.

"Why wasn't it me," she said. "It was so weird for me to be diagnosed and then somebody who is seemingly healthy to go first. It was really shocking. And the least I could do to honor him was to do that show."

She said she thought when she did make it public, she will have worked 16 hours a day and proven that when someone is diagnosed with cancer, their life doesn't end.

"Other people with stage 4 can work, too," she said. "Our life doesn't just end the minute we get that diagnosis. We still have some living to do."
