Hollywood publicists usually pour cold water on scandals, but this time it’s the flak serving up some juicy A-list goss!
After Shannen Doherty filed for divorce last week, her p.r. guru released a statement claiming — apropos of nothing — her husband’s agent was “intimately” involved in the split.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star announced Friday that she’s breaking up with photographer Kurt Iswarienko after 11 years of marriage.
“Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted,” her publicist, legendary Tinseltown flak Leslie Sloane, said in a statement to PageSix.com’s Evan Real.
“Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option. You can contact Kurt’s agent, Collier Grimm at PICTUREKID, as she is intimately involved,'” Sloane added.

Grimm did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
We can’t help but notice that not only did Sloane seemingly throw Grimm bowling ball style under the bus, but she gratuitously named her place of business for good measure. Ouch.
According to her LinkedIn page, Grimm founded the photography agency last year.

She also appears to be 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.”
