Holly Marie Combs has spilled the beans on why she thinks her “Charmed” co-star Shannen Doherty hastily exited the series after its third season. On the latest episode of Doherty’s podcast “Let’s Be Clear,” Combs recalled meeting with show producer Jonathan Levin, who she said was forced to pick between Doherty and co-star Alyssa Milano to stay on the hit WB show.
“He said, you know, ‘We're basically in a position where it's one or the other. We were told [by Alyssa] that it's [Shannen] or me, and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment’ — which because she went to the therapist or the mediator or the corporate mediator, whatever the heck his title is, she built a case for herself where she was documenting every time she felt uncomfortable on set and for whatever reason. Whereas you and I refused to speak to him. So that's where the deck was stacked,” Combs said.
