Alyssa Milano's never-ending clash with her "Charmed" costars continues to brew.

Holly Marie Combs is defending herself against what she's called "many continuing attacks" against her and Shannen Doherty after Milano denied involvement in Doherty's 2001 exit from the show.




In a lengthy Instagram post shared Monday night, Combs said she was "a little shocked and a little disappointed, especially by the things [Milano] posted the next day while texting me simultaneously words to the contrary."

Reiterating that her claims about Doherty's firing was "not revisionist history," Combs said "this is just the history" Milano "didn't want people to know about, and the history Shannen wasn't ready to talk about until one month ago."

Though she's tried to "shield the audience from our differences to protect something that indeed and still does have a heartbeat of its own," Combs said she has "a big problem with injustice."

“I heard that Alyssa said she did not have the power to fire anyone which is ironic because this was actually all about power," she continued. "But let’s go with that and let me explain what she did have the power to do. She had the power the stop the process at any time."




Combs claimed "there was a case being built" against Doherty, "a case Alyssa and Alyssa alone had the power to stop. . . She had the power to say no, just as Shannen had said, no, I don’t want you to replace Alyssa when posed with the same option."

Combs called Rose McGowan, who replaced Doherty as her long-lost half-sister Paige Matthews after Doherty's Prue was killed off in the season 3 finale, a "beacon" during a "dark time for me."

She added, "And now Rose and Shannen have a growing friendship and support system all their own which makes my little black heart grow."




Combs told "Charmed" fans not to despair, adding, "You are our only common denominator. Charmed was made for all of you and the truth of the matter is we all are, despite our differences, incredibly grateful for this dysfunctional family in every way."

In Combs' comment section, McGowan wrote: "Sometimes a mess has to be made for things to be cleaned up. This for me is way bigger than a TV show, it goes to years of continuous behind the scenes character assassination and targeted reputation smearing because of narcissistic pathological jealousy. I wish none of it had to be this way. I remain proud of everyone involved for the magic we wove and the magic created worldwide. Truth is uncomfortable, but magic never dies."

Heya! I know I just kind of covered this topic last week, but I wasn't really happy with it, and I don't feel the other two videos I've done on this subject were really as in-depth as I would have liked - and such a complex relationship deserves - so I figured we'd do one more deep dive into the subject before moving on to happier things next week!

As always, thank you so much for watching and all relevant articles are listed below! There are a LOT of them, but I tried to organize them as much as possible!

Hi, guys! As you've probably heard, Shannen Doherty has finally started her podcast and she and Holly Marie Combs revisited the events that took place behind the scenes of Shannen's exit from Charmed, and boy was it a rollercoaster! So I thought this week we could take a deep dive into the podcast, and discuss the good, the bad, and the bs. But please do not send any hate towards anyone discussed in the video! I really do wish everyone the best and hope they can have peaceful, happy lives moving forward!

It's a long one for sure, so thank you so much for watching if you do! As always, the articles and clips referenced in the video are linked below if you'd like to check them out!
