“Charmed Controversy Unveiled: Shannen Doherty Alleges Firing Over Alyssa Milano’s Ultimatum”
In the latest installment of her podcast, ‘Let’s Be Clear,’ Shannen Doherty opens up about her departure from ‘Charmed,’ asserting that she was ousted due to Alyssa Milano’s threat of legal action against the show’s production.
Doherty clarified, “The narrative that I ‘quit’ was assigned to me by other people. I didn’t assign it to myself,” highlighting her reluctance to perpetuate a false narrative. She expressed fondness for her work on the show and debunked the notion of her voluntary exit.
According to Doherty, her representatives opted for a narrative where she chose to leave rather than face another dismissal after her exit from ‘Beverly Hills, 90210.’
Former co-star Holly Marie Combs, sharing insights from a meeting with producer Jonathan Levin, disclosed Milano’s ultimatum: “Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment.” Combs emphasized that the alleged discomfort was behind the scenes, unnoticed by the cast and crew.
In a previous episode, Doherty hinted at the origins of her conflict with Milano, citing competitive dynamics and a lack of female support. Milano’s representatives have not yet commented on the allegations.
