The Charmed actress, who is battling stage four cancer, gave her reasoning in the filing: “As a result of my recurrent health issues, I have been largely unable to work and have no future employment prospects. Today, virtually all of the income I earn is residual income from work that I performed prior to marriage.”
“While I have been unable to work, incurring exorbitant medical expenses not covered by insurance to undergo experimental treatments in hopes of prolonging my life, Kurt has been [using our private plane], spending thousands of dollars at medical spas, jewellery stores, Gucci and on flights for his ‘agent’ [Collier Grimm, who Doherty believes is romantically involved with her ex], while simultaneously claiming that he has insufficient funds with which to support me,” Doherty said in her filing, per the article.
