"I cried every night." Shannen Doherty opens up about conflict with Alyssa Milano and 'ruined friendship' with Holly Marie Combs on the set of "Charmed"
Shannen Doherty in her podcast spoke about the conflict with her colleague in the popular series about witches “Charmed.” Alyssa Milano, which also led to a feud with Holly Marie Combs. Doherty, unexpectedly for fans, left the series after the third season - as she later admitted, precisely because of a conflict with Milano, with whom she had previously been friends. Commenting on this, Doherty noted that the tension was caused by the fact that each of them was promised the main role in the series, which caused misunderstandings and conflicts between them.
In her podcast, she recalled that Alyssa Milano forbade her to visit their colleague Holly Marie Combs in the hospital, who underwent surgery to remove a huge tumor.
“I waited 24 hours after your surgery to visit you, but I couldn’t get to you,” Doherty says to Holly Marie Combs. “Alyssa and her mom said I can’t come in with you.” They didn't allow people to visit you, and you didn't even know about it."
According to Doherty, this situation affected their friendship. “I remember how you wrote to me and said: “Girlfriend, are you going to come see me?” And I felt your pain from the fact that I seemed to have abandoned you. But I also felt angry that I was not allowed to come to you, because some strange family caused this rift between us, which was throughout the entire second season, when I seemed to cry every night.” .
In her podcast, Shannen Doherty talks about the struggle with her illness: she has been treated for cancer for several years, as well as about the events of her personal life. Recently, the actress recalled how she went through a divorce from her husband Kurt Isvarienko: according to him, right before the operation to remove a brain tumor, she learned that he had been dating someone else for two years.
