Alyssa Milano has denied claims she had her former co-star Shannen Doherty fired from their hit show "Charmed." The 51-year-old actress broke her silence on social media after Doherty and Holly Marie Combs, who also starred in the fantasy drama series, alleged that Milano was behind the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum's abrupt departure from "Charmed" following its third season in 2001.
During a panel discussion at MegaCon in Orlando, Florida, Friday, Milano addressed her co-stars' claims but didn't specifically refer to Doherty's exit.
In an Instagram post she shared Saturday, Milano elaborated on her remarks, stating she "did not have the power to get anyone fired." "I don’t know one other show that has had the success that Charmed had where the cast still speaks ill of the experience a quarter of a century later," Milano wrote in the caption of her post, which included transcripts of her comments from the MegaCon panel. "This is 15 movies and 13 TV shows ago for me.This was 11 years before my 15 year marriage and 13 years before having my first child.This was so long ago that any retelling of these stories from anyone is just revisionist history." In a December appearance on Doherty's "Let's Be Clear" podcast, Combs recalled a conversation she claimed she had with one of the show's producers after her "Charmed" co-star was fired. "He said, ‘We didn’t mean to, but we’ve been backed into this corner.
We’re basically in this position where it’s one or the other. We were told [by Alyssa] it’s her or [Shannen], and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment,'" Combs recalled.
