Is Alyssa Milano (51) really to blame for Shannen Doherty’s (52) expulsion? The two actresses were the protagonists of the series Charmed alongside Holly Marie Combs (50). But apparently they didn’t like each other at all. After some friction, Shannen left the show at the end of the third season. Rumors quickly spread that Alyssa was responsible for her colleague’s departure. Now her co-star Holly is commenting on the rumors!
In the “Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty” podcast, the Pretty Little Liars actress speaks plainly and reveals that she called a meeting with Jonathan Levin, the show’s producer, to find out why her colleague had been fired. “We were [von Alyssa] said that either she or Shannen has to go. And Alyssa threatened to sue us for a hostile work environment,” Jonathan reportedly told Holly at the time. Shannen was then fired.
The series stars have now buried their hatchet, as Alyssa revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2021: “I would say we have a warm relationship with each other.” Her previous problems with Shannen stemmed from the fact that she viewed her colleague as competition.
