Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar recently expressed her unwavering support for her longtime friend Shannen Doherty amidst the latter's public revelations about her past feud with former co-star Alyssa Milano. Gellar commended Doherty for her courage in sharing her truths and acknowledged the challenges she faced during that difficult time. The actress, known for her roles in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Cruel Intentions,' praised Doherty's resilience and growth, particularly in light of her ongoing battle with stage 4 breast cancer.
Gellar highlighted the evolution of their friendship, emphasizing how shared experiences and life's complexities have strengthened their bond over the years. The actress's supportive comments come in the wake of Doherty's podcast revelations, where allegations were made regarding Milano's involvement in Doherty's departure from the show 'Charmed.'
Following Doherty's claims, Milano refuted any role in her former co-star's exit, stating that she did not possess the authority to influence casting decisions. This led to a public exchange between Milano and another 'Charmed' co-star, Holly Marie Combs, who expressed disappointment over the situation. Combs alleged that Milano had the power to prevent Doherty's dismissal but chose not to intervene, leading to unresolved tensions among the cast.
The behind-the-scenes drama from the 'Charmed' era resurfaced years later, shedding light on the complexities of Hollywood relationships and power dynamics. Despite the controversies surrounding their past collaboration, Doherty finds solace in Gellar's unwavering support and friendship, as the actress navigates her health struggles and personal challenges.
