Shannen Doherty doesn’t need positive folks attending her funeral.
“There’s a lot of people that I think would show up that I don’t want there,” Doherty, 52, stated all through the Monday, January 15, episode of her “Let’s Be Clear” podcast. “I don’t want them there because their reasons for showing up aren’t necessarily the best reasons.”
Thru laughter, Doherty added, “They don’t really like me and, you know, they have their reasons and good for them, but they don’t actually really like me enough to show up to my funeral.”
The actress went on to mention that going to her funeral can be “the politically correct thing to do” in spite of her courting with the individual she had in thoughts.
“They don’t want to look bad, so I kind of want to take the pressure off of them and I want my funeral to be like a love fest,” she added. “I don’t want people to be crying or people to privately be like, ‘Thank God that bitch is dead now.’ Those are the things I don’t want.”
On the other hand, Doherty herself is basically “horrible at funerals” in terms of her feelings.
“I don’t know if anybody is actually good at funerals, but I am the girl who, like, literally sobs. I can’t handle it,” she added, referencing her father’s funeral. (Doherty’s dad, John Thomas Doherty, died in 2010.)
“My dad’s was very hard to keep anything together,” she added. “I was pleasantly surprised at my dad’s of who showed up. But it made me start thinking of who would show up to mine.”
Months previous to her funeral dialogue, Doherty stated she doesn’t “want to die,” all through a November 2023 interview with Other folks, revealing that her most cancers had unfold to her bones.
“I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving,” she added. “I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better.”
Doherty used to be first of all identified with breast most cancers in March 2015. She underwent chemotherapy till February 2017, revealing that April she used to be formally in remission. Via February 2020, Doherty introduced that her most cancers had returned as degree IV.
“I don’t think I’ve processed it,” she shared on Excellent Morning The usa on the time. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways. … You know, our life doesn’t end the minute we get that diagnosis. We still have some living to do.”
Since launching her “Let’s Be Clear” podcast in November 2023, Doherty has proved that she has no plans to decelerate any time quickly.
“She is full steam ahead and she is [doing] great,” her rep advised Us Weekly in December 2023. The next month, Doherty presented an replace on her most cancers adventure.
“I always talk about the fact that we just need to squeeze out another three to five years, and then there’s going to be T-cell therapy or there’s going to be this,” she stated all through the January 1 “Let’s Be Clear” episode. “There’s going to be a lot more options that will give [us] another five years. Then in those five years, there’s a whole other group of options, and eventually there’s going to be a cure.”
