Celebrity (usartical) Alyssa Milano responded to Holly Marie Combs’ accusation that she caused Shannen Doherty to be dismissed from “Charmed.”
The actress, who was not joined by any of her former co-stars, said to fans during a “Charmed” panel organized by MegaCon Orlando this week, “I knew this was going to come up in one way or another, and I want to be very thoughtful in how I respond to any of this.”
“Let me just say that I’m depressed.”
Milano, 51, said, “I don’t think it’s really that I’m sad for myself or for my life or how it does or does not affect my life.” “Charmed Star Alyssa Milano Reflects on 25 Years: Battling Toxicity, Personal Healing, and the Uncomfortable Legacy”
“The fans make me the happiest. The thing that saddens me the most is how a show that has meant so much to so many people has been marred by toxicity that is still present over 25 years later.
She said, “It saddens me that people are unable to move past it.” “It’s unfortunate that we can’t all just rejoice in the success of a show that was extremely meaningful to each of us.”
The actress continued by admitting that it was “hard” for her to film the popular series during those years. 
She said, “I have dedicated the last 25 years of my life to healing every trauma I have ever experienced—not only the trauma I sustained during the shooting.
The author of “Sorry Not Sorry” continued, “I’ve worked really hard to heal the bits because I understand that hurt people hurt people and my intention is to be a healed person that helps heal people.”
In addition, she expressed her desire to perform on stage with Doherty and Combs, citing her sense of having been absolved of “whatever part [she] played in the situation.” “Charmed Revisited: Alyssa Milano Responds to Toxicity Claims, Apologizes to Fans, and Navigates Uncomfortable Legacy”

The “Who’s the Boss” actress concluded her analysis of the drama to thunderous acclaim from the audience.More than a month had passed after Combs, 50, had made an appearance on Doherty’s “Let’s Be Clear” podcast, during which she claimed that Jonathan Levin, the show’s producer, had informed her in a private meeting in the early 2000s that Milano had put pressure on the network to fire the actress. 
She said Levin informed her at the time that “we were told [by Alyssa] it’s her or [Shannen], and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment.”
In reaction to Combs’ account, Doherty, 52, remarked, “I don’t ever remember being mean to her on set.” “I had no issues with them asking me to work around some things with her after she did something during the Christmas break in an episode I directed.”
Starring in the show for its first three seasons, the actress continued, “I couldn’t have been more kind and understanding.”
The former cast member of “Beverly Hills, 90210,” who was eventually replaced by Rose McGowan on the show, said Milano and her family were “blocking”
