Insurance company State Farm suspected Shannen of telling her cancer story just to raise money for her home repairing, Page Six reported.

The court documents state:

Plaintiff improperly claims she is entitled to have her entire home rebuilt at a cost of $2.7 million because she has breast cancer.

Fans’ reaction

Shame on State Farm. That is a disgrace

Wow!!! State Farm is a savage! They could’ve kept this statement 🤦🏽‍♀️

State Farm is very cold in making a statement like that. How would any of the powers that be feel if someone made a statement like that about their loved ones or themselves???
— Donna Gilmore (@leomarie514) February 5, 2020

No she isn’t! She is scared like every person who has cancer. No one knows what will happen to them. Actually, I care.

Poor Shannen, they should be ashamed of themselves. I feel so bad for her.

Shame on State Farm. The only reason she had to make her cancer diagnosis public after a year of keeping it under wraps is because of State Farm and this law suit.

Shannen Doherty’s cancer journey

Shannen Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.
After lasting treatment, the star announced she had a remission in 2017.
Amid her cancer battle, Doherty filed a lawsuit against her former business managers for “allowing her health insurance to lapse.”
At the beginning of 2019, Shannen Doherty confessed she had struggles with accepting her post-cancer body, but she was happy to stay alive:

I’m trying to figure out how to accept who I am now… I look at it like I’m lucky to be alive every minute, every second of the day.

We just can’t figure it out how cruel people should be (we talk about insurance company) to suggest that someone would fake his/her cancer diagnosis just to get sympathy?! How low some people could hit the ground!

We wish Shannen Doherty to stay strong amid her cancer battle and to pay no attention to bad comments. We keep praying for the actress and her recovery!
