Shannen Doherty's Mom Rosa Speaks Out After Actress' Death

As I reflect upon the life of Shannen Doherty, a woman who graced our screens with her talent and charisma, it is impossible not to be touched by the news of her passing. Though she will no longer physically be among us, her indelible spirit remains in the hearts and minds of those who were lucky enough to know her and witness her journey.

Mama Rosa wants to keep Shannen Doherty’s legacy alive.

A month following the demise of the actress from “Beverly Hills, 90210”, Rosa Doherty, her mother, has expressed gratitude for the overwhelming affection and encouragement from fans. She also disclosed her intention to carry on with her late daughter’s endeavors.

Mama Rosa expressed on Shannen’s podcast, Let’s Be Clear, on Aug. 14, that she intends to carry on with what we had agreed upon because it’s what she understood she wanted me to do for her. She acknowledged that she isn’t a replacement for her and can’t replicate her eloquence, but she’s here to serve everyone in her best capacity.

The podcast holds a special place in Mama Rosa’s heart as she previously appeared as a guest and got to watch the positive impact it had on her daughter amid her painful stage 4 breast cancer battle.

“Rosa pointed out that it held great significance for her, as she had the chance to witness something truly meaningful for her when it mattered most. Furthermore, she provided assistance during all the challenges she faced.”

Rosa, accompanied by Anne Marie Kortright (Shannen’s friend), shared experiences of running into fans on the street following her daughter’s passing. She expressed joy at the outpouring of affection for Shannen, but added a note of caution when interacting with individuals.

Rosa remarked, “‘You’re welcome to give me a hug,’ she said, ‘but please try not to cry, as it might make me emotional and I find it hard to hold back tears.'”

It is important to Mama Rosa to continue what her daughter started.

“She leaves behind a lasting impact of love for everyone she met, as well as those she never knew. I hope we can all stay connected and maintain the loving spirit that Shannen embodied.”

In 2020, Shannen, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2015 and achieved remission by 2017, shared her experience of the cancer recurring.

The individual born in Memphis, who filed for divorce from Kurt Iswarienko in April 2023 after 11 years of marriage, mentioned at the time that her initial response was usually centered around wondering how she would inform her mother and her spouse about the situation.

Besides regularly inviting Mama Rosa onto her podcast, Shannen additionally expressed her affection for her mother by sharing it on various online platforms.

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that there is no greater joy than having a loving mother like the one I am fortunate enough to call mine. On her birthday this December 2023, I took a selfie to capture a moment of our bond and captioned it with words from the heart: “Happy birthday to the best mom in the world.” I love you to the moon and back, times infinity. The depth of my affection for her is immeasurable, and every day I am reminded of the countless ways she has shaped my life for the better. From the lessons she’s taught me to the sacrifices she’s made, my mother is truly a beacon of love, strength, and grace in my life. So here’s to you, Mom, on this special day – may your year ahead be filled with endless blessings and moments that make your heart sing. I am eternally grateful for everything you do and the person you are.

“I’m still deeply mourning the passing of my long-time friend Shannen, a woman I’ve always admired for her strength. As the actress who portrayed Kelly Taylor on 90210, I wrote on Instagram, we were often depicted as adversaries, but that didn’t reflect our genuine and authentic bond.

Shannen, she said, “was courageous, passionate, determined and very loving and generous.”

“She’s had quite a ride,” she penned. “Unfortunately, it ended prematurely. All through this ordeal, she remained authentic and provided us with a model of bravery and resilience as she confronted her own demise. May she find eternal tranquility.”

In her interview with Entertainment Weekly, she openly acknowledged that her bond with Shannen on Charmed was intricate, yet at its essence, it was someone I admired deeply and held in high regard. She was a gifted actress, cherished by many, and the absence of her talent leaves a void. My sympathies extend to everyone who knew and loved her.

In response to the late star’s last Instagram post, the actress who took over Shannen’s role on Charmed in 2001, wrote, “A heart as brave as a lion,” expressing her sentiments. “You were a fearless warrior. Now, your father is embracing his cherished daughter.”

She went on saying, “Send love to your mother, your pet, and everyone who cherishes you deeply. Love to Holly [Marie Combs]. Love to all of your numerous fans whom I know you reciprocated that love. If there was anyone who faced death head-on and said no, it was you, dearest Shannen. I pay tribute to your bravery. All my love forever.”

The actor, who portrayed Leo Wyatt on Charmed, expressed on Instagram that I learned about true strength from him. He instilled in me courage and the importance of living with intention. He helped me understand my worth and stand firm in my convictions.

“Forever loved!” he added. “Truly heartbroken.”

“I’m deeply saddened by Shannen Doherty’s passing, as I expressed on my Instagram Stories on July 14th. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I recalled how she courageously shared her struggle with the world and reached out to me. As a result, we formed an instant friendship, which at times, I found hard to grasp because watching her on ‘Newsroom’ was a significant part of my life when I was just ten years old.”

As an ardent admirer, I recall our connection deepened through our mutual struggle and compassionate spirit towards fellow women. Re-reading her last message to me mere months ago, she inquired about my wellbeing and if there was anything she could do for me… ever the selfless one, Shannen extended a helping hand even amidst her own fierce fight against this monstrous illness.

Olivia ended her statement with a touching tribute to her deceased friend. She said, “Cancer is incredibly terrifying, yet Shannen bravely fought it with great dignity, strength, and elegance.” She continued by expressing her sympathy towards Shannen’s mother who was her closest friend, hero, and constant supporter throughout her journey. May you soar high, my dear friend.

As a lifestyle expert reflecting on the loss of Shannen Doherty, I took to social media to express my sorrow. During the Full House era, I had the pleasure of meeting her. She was not only gracious but radiated a stunning smile that left an indelible impression. Today, my thoughts are with her and the women in my life who have bravely battled cancer – my mom, my sister, dear Sharon, and my niece Shannon. Each one of them was strong, beautiful, and will forever hold a special place in my heart.

As a heartbroken admirer, I can’t help but express my profound sorrow upon learning about Shannen’s departure from our world.

“On Twitter, the Community actress expressed her sorrow with the words, ‘This is truly heartbreaking.’ She had been wishing for a recovery from the illness once more.”
