Shannen Doherty has been dropping fact bombs on her podcast. Which we clearly love.
But telling arduous truths generally means taking a look at your individual errors with a very trustworthy lens. And we’re glad to say she’s doing that, too! After she and Holly Marie Combs claimed co-star Alyssa Milano was totally accountable for Shannen’s ousting from Charmed, this time, she’s taking full possession for her firing from Beverly Hills 90210!
TV brother Jason Priestley stopped by the Let’s Be Clear podcast this time, they usually ultimately obtained to the sensitive topic of Shannen’s firing from their hit TV present. And Shannen, now 52, admits it was on her. She started:
“I was in a really horrible marriage and there were things that were transpiring in that marriage that made it very hard for me to consistently be on time for work. And I know that that became a very big problem for the rest of you, as it should be.”
Shannen is, after all, speaking about her marriage to Ashley Hamilton. The actor-musician has been fairly open about his drug drawback from round that point — and the influence it had on his spouse.
She realizes now in hindsight she ought to have been extra open with everybody about what she was going via, why she possibly wanted particular consideration:
“I don’t think anybody knew that my father was super sick and I don’t think anybody knew that my husband was a massive drug addict… it was all consuming for me. I didn’t even want to leave the house because I was scared that he would go and get drugs.”
Her struggles meant, amongst different issues, inflicting her co-stars to must work longer days. So ultimately she was written off the present, along with her character going to high school abroad. While Shannen takes accountability, she does clarify she wasn’t given an ultimatum, not an specific one, earlier than being let go:
“It wasn’t anybody’s responsibility by mine but I sort of wish I would have been sat down and sort of looked at and said, ‘Listen, the end result is going to be this, you are going to get fired and none of us are willing to put up with it anymore. And I understand that you have an issue in your personal life, but that also can’t bleed into work and you need to get your s**t together!’”
Yeah, on the time she had been within the trade a very long time — however she was additionally solely in her mid 20s and in some methods simply didn’t know methods to deal with these actually tough topics.

Jason really informed her he felt responsible about not being extra compassionate on the time, however Shannen rapidly stopped him and mentioned her habits was nobody’s fault however her personal:
“Listen, I really take the blame for that. I don’t blame anyone else for what transpired and my ultimate firing. I do blame myself because I should have had my personal life more together, I should have left a relationship earlier, I shouldn’t have been going out. I got definitely affected by the attention and all of a sudden I could go into a night club and it didn’t matter how old I was, I found it all very alluring and seductive. And I fell into that trap then you add the personal issues.”
It’s so courageous of her to speak actually candidly about all of this. Hear the entire dialog for your self (under):
