Alyssa Milano reacts to Shannen Doherty 'Charmed' firing claims

Alyssa Milano is breaking the silence on an accusation that she pressured the network to fire her co-star, Shannen Doherty.

Earlier this week, the 51-year-old addressed the issue at a Charmed panel.

"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."

She continued, "I will just say that I'm sad. I don't think it's really that I'm sad for me or for my life or how it does or does not affect my life."

"I'm the most sad for the fans. I am the most sad that a show that has meant so much to so many people has been tarnished by a toxicity that is still to this day almost a quarter of a century later still happening," she added.

"I'm sad that people can't move past it," the actress noted. "I'm sad that we all can't just celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us."

It comes after Charmed co-star Holly Marie Combs alleged on Shannen's podcast that Alyssa had pressured the network to remove her from the show.

"'We were told [by Alyssa] it's her or [Shannen], and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment,'" she claimed producer Jonathan Levin told her.

"I don't ever remember being mean to her on set."
