Ashley Hamilton has reportedly been hospitalized after experiencing an overdose. The actor, who played a role in "Iron Man 3" and was the first husband of the late Shannen Doherty, was rushed to the hospital last Thursday after being discovered at a Los Angeles-area Airbnb suffering from a medical emergency related to an overdose, as reported by TMZ. Despite the initial gravity of the situation, the star is now said to be in stable condition.
Hamilton, the son of Hollywood legend George Hamilton, has been vocal about his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction in the past. In 2015, the actor from "Rules Don't Apply" confessed to having a "hard time" with his addiction struggles on his family's reality show, "Stewarts & Hamiltons."
Hamilton and Doherty married in 1993 after dating for just two weeks. At the time, Hamilton had just turned 19. Their marriage was short-lived, and they separated less than a year later, largely due to Hamilton's ongoing battle with addiction.
In January 2024, Doherty reflected on the "horrible" marriage that she said contributed to her dismissal from "Beverly Hills: 90210," during an episode of her podcast "Let's Be Clear With Shannen Doherty."
"Towards my last season, I was in a really horrible marriage, and there were things that were transpiring in that marriage that made it really hard for me to consistently be on time for work," Doherty explained.
"I know that that became a very big problem, as it should be, because if everyone else is on time and you are waiting for one person, it sucks," she continued.
The "Charmed" actor passed away in July 2024 at the age of 53 following a battle with breast cancer.
