Charmed star Alyssa Milano breaks silence on costar Shannen Doherty’s claim she got her fired

Alyssa Milano has damaged her silence about her Charmed costar Shannen Doherty‘s claims that Milano got her fired from the sequence.

Speaking to the group at a Charmed panel hosted by MegaCon Orlando yesterday, the actress addressed the long-running feud rumours.

“I will just say that I’m sad. I don’t think it’s really that I’m sad for me or for my life or how it does or does not affect my life,” stated Milano.

“I’m the most sad for the fans. I am the most sad that a show that has meant so much to so many people has been tarnished by a toxicity that is still to this day almost a quarter of a century later still happening.”

“I’m sad that people can’t move past it, I’m sad that we all can’t just celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us.”

It got here in response to claims from her former costars Doherty and Holly Marie Combs that she gave the present’s producer, Jonathan Levin, an ultimatum.

Combs recounted the story he informed her, revealing to Doherty on her Let’s Be Clear podcast in December 2023: “He said, you know, ‘We’re basically in a position where it’s one or the other. We were told [by Alyssa] that it’s [Shannen] or me, and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment.'”

Combs added that Milano “built a case for herself” through the use of a mediator on set to doc each time she felt uncomfortable whereas filming.

Milano addressed this claim in an Instagram put up, posted the day after her look on the panel.

“Everything was documented. There was a professional mediator (I was told Holly and Shannen would not participate in any mediation) and an on-set producer/babysitter who were both brought in to investigate all claims. It was then recommended by this mediator, after collecting testimony from cast AND crew—what changes should be made if the show was going to continue,” she claimed.

“The studio, Aaron Spelling, and community made the choice to guard the worldwide hit that was Charmed. I didn’t have the ability to get anybody fired. Once Shannen left we had 5 extra profitable seasons and I’m perpetually grateful.

Doherty left the sequence after season 3 in 2001, stating that she had outgrown the present. Her character was killed off and she was changed with Rose McGowan in one other function after her departure.

The actress was extra forthright about her reasoning throughout an interview with Entertainment Tonight later that 12 months.

“There was an excessive amount of drama on the set and never sufficient ardour for the work. You know, I’m 30 years previous and I haven’t got time for drama in my life anymore,” she said.

“I wish to work with actors who actually, actually care and that wish to be there each single day,” she continued.
