Alyssa Milano, castmate Holly Marie Combs defend ‘Charmed’ after ex-producer calls it ‘bad for the world’

Alyssa Milano and former castmate Holly Marie Combs defended their former show "Charmed" this week after one of the show’s ex-producers claimed she quit because she was worried it was becoming  "bad for the world."

Vernoff said she joined the show because it was about "girl power" but claimed that she was soon asked to write more scenes that had the girls taking their clothes off. "There was an episode where Alyssa Milano comes out in mermaid pasties and there was a huge spike in male viewership, and then every episode after, the question would come from the network, 'How are we getting the girls naked this week?'" she told The Hollywood Reporter. She said she started getting paid more money and "there's all this pressure, and all I can think is, 'I'm creating something that's now bad for the world, and I've had enough bad for the world in my life.' "
