The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum told ABC News that she's been keeping her diagnosis secret for the past year, even as she filmed the BH90210 revival series. In 2017, Doherty announced her breast cancer, which was first diagnosed in 2015, had gone into remission. "I don't think that I've processed it," said Doherty. "It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways. I definitely have days where I say, ‘Why me?' And then I go, ‘Well why not me? Who else? Who else beside me deserves this?' None of us do. I would say that my first reaction is always concern about how am I going to tell my mom, my husband."

Shannen Doherty says she's "dying" of terminal cancer in insurance lawsuit

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star, who announced her Stage 4 cancer diagnosis to ABC News this morning, revealed the severity of her cancer in a lawsuit filed against State Farm Insurance. In court documents obtained by E! News, Doherty's lawyers say "she is dying of stage 4 terminal cancer," adding: "Instead of living out her remaining years peacefully in her home, Ms. Doherty remains displaced and battling with her insurance company." The lawsuit also alleges that Doherty has been forced to pay out of pocket costs for necessary repairs to her home and to her belongings after they were damaged during the Woolsey Fire in 2018.

'I know she'll fight as hard as she can': Jason Priestley gives an update on his 'tough' Beverly Hills 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty's battle with stage IV breast cancer

Quote:

90210 star Jason Priestley has given an update on his former co-star Shannen Doherty's health amid her battle with stage IV breast cancer.

On Tuesday, the 51-year-old told Studio 10's Angela Bishop that he ensured to keep in close contact with the 49-year-old actress and 'last he spoke with her she was in pretty good spirits'.

'Shannen is a real tough girl. Shannen's a fighter, and she's always been a fighter, and I know she'll continue to fight as hard as she can,' he said.

Shannen, who played Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210, revealed she was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in February, three years after going into remission.

Speaking with ABC's Good Morning America at the time, she said: 'It's going to come out in a matter of days or a week that I'm stage four, so my cancer came back, and that's why I'm here.

'I don't think I've processed it. It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways.'

Back in March, the American star slammed those who were not social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic while saying that her underlying health battle was 'hard enough'.

However, Shannen has regularly credited her friends, exercise and healthy eating for pushing her through her debilitating cancer battle.

Meanwhile, Jason, who is currently starring in the comedy-drama Private Eyes, spoke gushingly about his daughter Ava, who recently turned 13.

'Listen Ava's a really good kid. The one thing that has changed with her [since becoming a teenager] is that she's a little bit more distance. She tries to hide in her room and get away from us a bit more.

'It's heartbreaking. She's my little girl! I'm used to her always wanting to hug me.'

When asked if he thought the mothers of Ava's friends had posters of him growing up, Jason explained it was actually her teachers who used to have a crush on him.

'That part has been sobering, to say the least,' Jason explained.

Jason played the role of teenage heartthrob Brandon Walsh from 1990-2000.
