Milano has finally broken her silence on reports that Doherty was fired from Charmed in 2001

“We said it together, we told our truths and we stand by our truths,” Doherty added of the claims she and Combs made on their podcast. “There is no revisionist history in the truth that I know we have told. … There is no deadline to set, there is no mediator for months. I remember the facts as if I were still living in them.'

Combs also posted a lengthy post on Instagram on Monday saying she was “disappointed” by Milano's denials.

She wrote: “I feel the need to defend myself after the many ongoing attacks that have occurred since Alyssa took the stage.” [at MegaCon] and basically called Shannen and I liars

“Suffice it to say, I'm a little shocked and a little disappointed, especially at the things she posted the next day, while at the same time texting me with words to the contrary.” Unfortunately, that's not it [sic] more surprising.

This came after Milano broke her silence on reports that Doherty was fired from Charmed in 2001.

The 51-year-old actress addressed the drama while speaking to her fans during a panel discussion held in Orlando, Florida, earlier this week after Holly Marie Combs, 50, confirmed the rumor late last year.

Notably, Milano — who is currently embroiled in yet another controversy after creating a GoFundMe for her son's baseball team and asking her fans for donations — neither confirmed nor denied the claims, according to a report from Deadline.

She later shared a transcript of the panel and wrote a lengthy caption clarifying that her co-star was not eliminated from the show.

Previously, Doherty, 52, accused Milano of “a strange rift” on the set of the fantasy drama series.

Combs then confirmed the long-standing rumor that Milano was responsible for Doherty's exit from the show.

Weeks after the clip went viral, Milano spoke out on the issue, saying she was “sad” about it but remaining vague about the validity of the claims.

“I knew this was going to happen one way or another and I want to be very thoughtful about how I react to it and I just want to say I'm sad,” she said at MegaCon Orlando 2024.

“I don't think it's really that I'm sad about myself or my life or how it affects my life or not,” she said.

She said she is “deeply saddened” that the “toxicity” of her show continues decades later.

“My biggest sadness is the fans,” she continued. “I am saddest that a show that meant so much to so many people has been marred by a toxicity that continues to this day, nearly a quarter century later.”

“I’m sad that people can’t get over it,” she added. “I’m sad that we can’t all celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us.”

She then discussed processing her trauma, adding that she now understands that “hurt people hurt people” and that she would rather be a person who heals instead.

“I've worked very hard over the last 25 years of my life to heal all of my traumas, and that's not just all of the traumas that I experienced while filming, but all of my traumas.”

She added, “I've worked really hard to heal the pieces because I understand that hurting people hurt people, and my intention is to be a healed person who helps heal people.”

Her statement comes shortly after her former co-stars spoke about the drama on the set of Charmed on Doherty's Let's Be Clear podcast.

Combs revealed that Milano gave an ultimatum, which was the reason for Doherty's exit from the show after three seasons.

She recalled a producer telling her, “We were told [by Alyssa] it's her or [Shannen] and Alyssa threatened to sue us for a hostile work environment.'

Milano ultimately denied the claims on her Instagram, saying her former co-stars were complicit in the “revisionist narrative.”

She also emphasized, “I did not have the power to fire anyone.”

“I don’t know of another show as successful as Charmed, where the cast still speaks poorly of the experience a quarter century later,” she wrote.

“That was 15 movies and 13 TV shows ago for me,” she continued. “That was 11 years before my 15-year marriage and 13 years before the birth of my first child. “That was so long ago that any retelling of these stories by anyone is just revisionist history.”

She then noted that evidence of what happened was “documented.”

“However, I add with absolute certainty: everything was documented. “There was a professional mediator,” she explained, then added that she had been told that “Holly and Shannen would not be participating in any mediation.”

She said there was also a “producer/babysitter on set” who was “brought in to investigate all allegations.”

“This intermediary then recommended, after gathering statements from the cast AND crew, what changes should be made if the show were to continue,” she added.

“Studio Aaron Spelling and the network have decided to protect the international hit Charmed,” she concluded. “I didn't have the power to fire anyone. “After Shannen left, we had five more successful seasons and I'm forever grateful.”
