Former “Charmed” co-star Shannen Doherty, battling stage 4 cancer, addressed her departure from the show, dispelling the narrative that she quit. Doherty explained she had no control over leaving, as her earnings from the series were crucial for caring for her “extremely sick” father. Fellow co-star Holly Marie Combs advocated for Doherty, unwilling to continue without her.
According to Combs, Alyssa Milano allegedly threatened to sue for a hostile workplace environment, prompting the difficult decision to let Doherty go. Milano acknowledged past tension, attributing it to a competitive mindset. Despite their history, Milano stated in 2021 that she took responsibility for the tension and expressed guilt over past conflicts with Doherty.
