Gilbert's Little Homewreck on the Prairie


Advance details from 'Little House on the Prairie' star Melissa Gilbert's tell-all memoir have hit the Internet, and from the sound of it, that little house was not the happiest home.

'Prairie Tale', due out June 9, accuses actress Shannen Doherty of breaking up Gilbert's marriage to Bo Brinkman - when she was just a teen.

Reportedly, Gilbert's book describes the moment she became aware that Doherty had a one-night stand with Brinkman. Star Magazine has quoted a source who had read the passages, sharing, "Melissa implies in the book that it was Shannen who sought Bo out, purely because she wanted to be like Melissa" and adds that when Gilbert learned of the affair, "Shannen just looked her straight in the eye, smirked and made a snide comment."
Gilbert and Brinkman were married for four years, between 1988 and 1992 - and Doherty was only 19 when the marriage dissolved. The magazine doesn't indicate exactly how old Doherty might have been at the time of the fling.
