Alyssa Milano reacts to Shannen Doherty’s death after ‘Charmed’ feud

Alyssa Milano paid tribute to Shannen Doherty following the star’s death.

“It’s no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at the core, this was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of,” Milano, 51, said of her “Charmed” co-star in a statement to The Post on Sunday.

“She was a talented actress, loved by many, and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her,” the statement continued.

Doherty died on Saturday after a years-long battle with breast cancer. She was 53 years old.

Her publicist Leslie Sloane shared the news in a statement to PEOPLE on Sunday.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” Sloane said. “The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones and her dog, Bowie. The family requests privacy so they can grieve in peace.”

Doherty, Milano and Holly Marie Combs starred in “Charmed.”

The show about three sisters who are witches aired on The WB (now The CW) from 1998 to 2006.

Doherty left the series after season 3 and was replaced by Rose McGowan.

In December, Combs, 50, claimed that Milano arranged for Doherty to be fired from “Charmed.”

“We were told (by Alyssa) that it was either her or (Shannen), and Alyssa threatened to sue us for a hostile work environment,” Combs recalled that producer Jonathan Levin allegedly told her about Doherty’s firing on Doherty’s podcast in the early 2000s.

In addition, Doherty claimed that Milano and her mother Lin forbade her from visiting Combs in the hospital after she had a tumor removed from her uterus.

Milano’s mother denied the duo’s claims.

The “Who’s the Boss?” star addressed the allegations at a “Charmed” panel at MegaCon Orlando in February.

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

She also said she wished she could be on stage with Doherty and Combs, especially because she felt like she had apologized for “her role in the situation, whatever it was.”

Milano released a much longer statement on Instagram at the time, saying she never had the power to fire anyone.

“Everything was documented,” she claimed of her time on set. “There was a professional mediator (I was told Holly and Shannen would not participate in any mediation) and a producer/babysitter on set, both of whom were brought in to investigate all claims.”

“I didn’t have the power to fire anyone. After Shannen left, we had five more successful seasons and I’m eternally grateful for that.”

Krista Vernoff, who according to IMDb was a producer of the show between 2002 and 2003 – after Doherty’s departure – supported Milano in her position.

“There was a lot of bullying on that set. And you were not one of the bullies,” she wrote. “Simple. They can twist and turn it however they want, but it’s just a twist.”

Doherty responded to Milano’s statement during another panel at MegaCon.

“At this point in my life, with my health diagnosis, with the daily battle against a terrible disease, it is also incredibly important to me that the truth is actually told and not the story that others tell me,” said the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star.

“There are no revisions to the truth that I know we have told. There is no throwing of bushes or shoes. There are no delays in determining what is being done. There is no mediator for months,” Doherty added.
