And that’s why I’m here.”

“We still have some living to do,” said the actress.

Doherty finally opened up about her diagnosis because of an ongoing lawsuit against State Farm.

“I’d rather people hear it from me,” she said.

“I don’t want it to be twisted.

I don’t want it to be a court document.

I want it to be real and authentic.

And I want to control the narrative.

I want people to know from me, I just didn’t want them to know yet.”
