Shannen Doherty Gets Emotional While Rejecting Alyssa Milanos Latest Charmed Claims

Shannen Doherty is standing by her claim that Alyssa Milano  got her fired.

In December, Doherty and her Charmed co-star Holly Marie Combs alleged that Milano orchestrated Dohertys exit  from their hit WB series in 2001.

Milano pushed back on the allegation  during a Whos the Boss? panel Friday at MegaCon Orlando by saying its sad that people cant move past it. 

This was so long ago that any retelling of these stories from anyone is just revisionist history, Milano added in an Instagram post  over the weekend. In the same post, Milano alleged that Doherty was fired after a professional mediator investigated accusations made against her on set and then pinned her exit on producers and the studio. 

I did not have the power to get anyone fired, Milano wrote. Once Shannen left we had 5 more successful seasons and I am forever grateful.

Doherty responded to Milanos denial of any wrongdoing during a Charmed panel  on Sunday on the last day of MegaCon Orlando.

While sitting between Combs and Rose McGowan, who replaced Doherty on Charmed, Doherty got emotional while reading a statement about the situation.

Holly and I, we were not mean on the podcast my podcast, Lets Be Clear. In fact, we went in and we edited out anything that we felt would cause more drama, Doherty began. We simply told the truth because the truth actually does matter. But we wanted to try to save you, the fans, from heartbreak as much as humanly possible. 

The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, who is undergoing treatment for Stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to her bones , said her diagnosis affected her decision to speak out about Milano. 

At this point in my life with my health diagnosis Im sorry if I start crying with fighting horrific disease every day of my life, it is also incredibly important to me that the truth actually be told as opposed to the narrative that others put out there for me. 

We told it together, we told our truths and we are standing by our truths, Doherty added of the claims she and Combs made on her podcast. There is no revisionist history happening in the truth that I know we told. There is no lateness to set, there is no mediator for months on end. I recall the facts as if I was still living in them.

The Heathers actor added that what somebody else may call drama is an actual trauma for me that I have lived with for an extremely long time. 

Doherty concluded: And it is only through my battle with cancer that I decided to address this trauma and be open and honest about it so that I can actually heal from a livelihood that was taken away from me. A livelihood that was taken away from my family because somebody else wanted to be number one on the call sheet. That is the truth. 

McGowan, who worked with Milano on Charmed from 2001 to 2006, then chimed in. Weve protected you [the shows fans] for a long time. Weve done it for as long as we could. All of us. She then shared a quote from comedian Katt Williams. 

He has a wonderful saying, Winners do not let losers rewrite history, McGowan said, casting Milano as the loser now. 

In December, Doherty and Combs said during two episodes of the Lets Be Clear podcast that Milano was consistently competitive with Doherty  because Doherty was billed as the star of Charmed. 

During one podcast episode, Combs also recalled a conversation she had with Charmed producer Jonathan Levin, who allegedly told her that Milano threatened to sue, claiming a hostile workplace environment,  if Doherty wasnt fired from the show. 

He said, you know, Were basically in a position where its one or the other. We were told [by Milano] that its [Doherty] or me, and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment, Combs said. 

Combs added that Milano had built a case for herself by documenting for a mediator every time she felt uncomfortable on set. Combs said that Milanos threat of legal action by todays standard, it wouldnt fucking fly, noting there were never any brawls or harsh words on set between Doherty and Milano .

I dont ever remember being mean to [Milano] on set, Doherty said on her podcast, noting how she once worked around some things for Milano for a Charmed episode that Doherty directed. 

I couldnt have been more kind and understanding, Doherty said.
