The ongoing feud between the cast of Charmed has heated up again as Shannon Doherty hits back against Alyssa Milano’s comments.

Charmed, the fantasy drama series that ran from 1999 to 2006, is back in the news once again as the ongoing feud between its core cast heats up once again.

It all began when Shannon Doherty, who played the eldest of the Halliwell witch sisters, was suddenly killed off at the end of Season 3, which the actress claimed on her podcast that Alyssa Milano, who played the youngest, was behind her being fired and killed off.

However, recently Milano has completely denied the claims and stating how she was that this drama was still being talked about. And now Doherty has clapped back at Milano’s comments as she claims Milano is rewriting history.

Doherty gets emotional while addressing ongoing Charmed feud

While speaking at a MegaCon Orlando panel alongside Charmed co-stars Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs, who was on the infamous podcast episode, Doherty became emotional while refuting Milano’s statements about their feud.

“We simply told the truth, because the truth actually does matter,” Doherty stated, “But we wanted to try to save you, the fans, from heartbreak as much as humanly possible.”

“At this point in my life, with my health diagnosis — sorry if I start crying — with fighting horrific disease (Doherty has stage 4 breast cancer) 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.”

Doherty went on to state that she and Combs were “standing by their truths,” adding that “there is no revisionist history happening in the truth that [Milano] knows they told,” and completely rejected any bad behavior on her end that would have gotten her terminated by the studio.

“I recall the facts as if I were still living in them, and what I will say is what somebody else may call drama, is an actual trauma for me, that I have lived with for an extremely long time,” Doherty explained.

Doherty ended her response to Milano saying, “[I want to] actually heal from a livelihood that was taken away from me, a livelihood that was taken away from my family, because someone else wanted to be number one on the call sheet.”
