Shannen Doherty Accuses Alyssa Milano of Causing 'Charmed' Cast Divide

Milano's mother refutes claims, while Milano expresses guilt over past tensions

Shannen Doherty, in her podcast 'Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty', claimed that Alyssa Milano and her mother caused a divide between her and Holly Marie Combs during the filming of 'Charmed'.
Doherty alleged that Milano and her mother prevented her from visiting Combs in the hospital after Combs had surgery, leading to a strained relationship throughout the second season of the show.
Combs, who was raised by teenage parents, found the attention from Milano's family 'seductive' and wanted everyone to get along for the success of the show.
Alyssa Milano's mother, Lin Milano, refuted Doherty's claims, stating that she was not on set daily and did not have the ability to meddle in the actresses' relationships.
Milano, in 2021, admitted to feeling guilt about the tension between her and Doherty, attributing it to a sense of competition rather than the sisterhood the show was about.
