During an episode of The House of Halliwell, a podcast about the show hosted by Combs, Brian Krause, and Drew Fuller, the actors became emotional as they recalled Doherty’s troubled exit from the series.
Doherty was dismissed after directing “All Hell Breaks Loose“, the final episode of the show’s third season, which Combs considered completely unacceptable.
With a trembling voice, the actress said the entire situation should have been handled completely differently: “the fact is, it was handled so petty. It was a huge insult to let her direct and end on such a high note. It’s just so sick and twisted.”
Combs emphasized that they would not “reveal names” involved in Doherty’s departure from “Charmed” because, according to her, many people are afraid to talk about what really happened. The actress also shared that during the filming of the episode, no one knew Doherty might be fired.
According to Combs, the actress only received a phone call while the series was on a filming break.
Doherty passed away from cancer in July 2024, and to this day her departure from “Charmed” is still debated by castmates and fans of the series. Before her death, she and Combs even publicly clashed with Alyssa Milano, widely pointed out as the one responsible for the actress’s dismissal.
