Shannen Doherty’s first husband, Ashley Hamilton, was reportedly hospitalized with an overdose.
The “Iron Man 3” actor was found in a Los Angeles-area Airbnb suffering from a medical emergency due to an overdose last Thursday and was rushed to the hospital, sources told TMZ on Wednesday.
The star is said to be in stable condition in hospital.
Representatives for Hamilton did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Hamilton, whose credits include “Rules Don’t Apply” and “Beethoven No. 2,” has been open about his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction in the past.
In 2015, People reported that her father, George Hamilton, celebrated overcoming his vices and confessed on the family’s reality show, “The Stewarts & Hamiltons,” that his battle with addiction had been “devastating.”
Doherty married Ashley Hamilton in 1993 after just two weeks of dating. However, their marriage was short-lived, largely due to Hamilton’s struggles with addiction, which ended after a year.
In January 2024, Doherty reflected on her “terrible” marriage during an episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Clear With Shannen Doherty,” which she said contributed to her firing from “Beverly Hills: 90210.”
“Leading up to the last season, I was in a really bad marriage, and the things that were going on in that marriage made it really difficult to always get to work on time,” Doherty explained.
“I know it became a huge problem…because of course it’s terrible when you’re waiting for one person when everyone else is on time,” she continued, noting that her co-stars were forced to “work long hours” because of her lateness.
Doherty was also married to Rick Salomon from 2002 to 2003. She married Kurt Iswarienko in 2011, but filed for divorce in April 2023 after allegations of infidelity surfaced, which he denies.
The “Charmed” actress passed away in July 2024 at the age of 53 after battling stage 4 breast cancer.
