Charmed and Beverly Hills, 90210 actress Shannen Doherty has filed for divorce from her husband of 11 years, it has been reported.

TMZ also reported that the Charmed alum is requesting spousal support amid the papers they obtained, with her asking it not be awarded to her estranged husband.

Prior to the news of her divorce breaking, Shannen took to Instagram to share a cryptic message, with the comment section now brimming with support for the star.

The post she shared on her grid reads: "The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness and total respect," with it also shared to her Instagram stories.
