“One can’t keep telling the same story over and over and over again, when it’s not the truth,” Doherty said.
Shannen Doherty didn’t quit “Charmed” — she was fired.
In the most recent episode of the “Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty” podcast published Monday, the actor decided to come clean about her exit from the beloved WB series. Doherty admitted during a second interview with her former “Charmed” co-star Holly Marie Combs that she was fired from the show despite saying she quit after its third season in 2001.
She explained why she lied about being fired, saying:
My representatives, I remember them looking at me at the time and said, “No, no, no, your career won’t survive another firing, so we’re just going to say that you chose to leave.” I remember I started laughing, going, “Who is going to believe that I’m crazy enough to leave a hit show?”
As to why she finally decided to share the truth about her departure from the series, Doherty said: “One can’t keep telling the same story over and over and over again, when it’s not the truth.”
