The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Shannen Doherty announce in a Los Angeles Court on Wednesday that she has invasive breast cancer that has spread. Her complaint against business management firm Tanner Mainstain reads as follows:
"In November 2013, SAG sent the premium invoice to Tanner Mainstain for Plaintiff's medical insurance coverage for the year 2014. However, Defendants ignored it, failed to pay it (without informing Plaintiff) and then promptly terminated their relationship with [Doherty] effective February 7, 2014."
This inaction caused Doherty to be dropped from her SAG insurance, so she didn't go to the doctor until her insurance was reinstated in 2015, where she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her complaint continues:
"Plaintiff was also informed that, had she been insured and able to visit her doctor, the cancer could potentially have been stopped, thus obviating the need for the future treatment (including mastectomy and chemotherapy) that Plaintiff will likely have to suffer through now."
This is not the first time that Tanner Mainstain has been sued. This is from a lawsuit the firm settled last year over commissions on James Franco's account (who no longer is a client of Tanner Mainstain):
"In truth, the firm and former partner [Steven] Blatt specialize in fleecing actors and entertainment industry professionals. After gaining control of all of their clients' cash and assets, they find a way to lose it, sometimes by gross incompetence, sometimes by self-dealing and outright theft. Along the way, they habitually deceive their clients, going so far as to set up bogus transactions, to conceal their misdeeds, errors and omissions. The firm has hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme."
Here's wishing Shannen all the best, and to kicking cancer's ass like it's Dylan cheating on her with Kelly!
