    'Charmed' Cast React After Ex-Producer Says It Stopped Becoming 'Girl Power Show' Halfway Through

    Alyssa Milano and co-star Holly Marie Combs defend their classic television show after a former producer says she quit the series due to oversexualization.

    Apr 4, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs are defending their beloved TV series “Charmed” after a former producer revealed she quit the show when it started catering to lusty men.

    In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Krista Vernoff claims she exited the series when it started becoming “bad for the world”, insisting it stopped becoming “a girl power show” when men started tuning in to ogle the stars.

    “About halfway through 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?’ ” Krista told the publication.

    Castmates Alyssa and Holly reacted to her comments on social media, insisting Charmed was always a “girl power show.”

    “This absolutely broke my heart,” Milano wrote on Twitter. “I hope we didn’t make something that was ‘bad for the world’ for eight years.”

    “I think we gave permission to a generation of women to be themselves and to be strong and own their sexuality. I’m so proud of what this show meant to so many.”

    Co-star Combs replied to Alyssa’s tweet, adding, “I can attest 1000 per cent Charmed was not bad for the world. The reasons and people are too long to list. Maybe it was bad for Krista’s world at the time. End story…”

    “And the fact that we can still stand up for ourselves and the show and the people who loved it proves this. I never cared what producer or network exec wanted us more naked for their $ (sic). And still don’t. We knew how to rally against it and found our own power. And still do.”

      Rose McGowan Clarifies to Sarah Jeffery About Her Real Issue With 'Charmed' Reboot

      Instagram

      After her comment about the series’ revival was deemed ‘pathetic’ by the Maggie Vera depicter, the original star of the supernatural show insists that her criticism was actually directed to the creators.
      Oct 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rose McGowan has insisted her issues with the “Charmed” reboot are with its creators, not its stars, after her response to the revival was deemed “pathetic” by actress Sarah Jeffery.
      Sarah hit headlines when she fired back at Rose and former co-star Holly Marie Combs following a recent TikTok event, during which Rose commented that the revival “sucks” and Holly failed to hold back her laughter.
      “You know, I saw this earlier and I refrained from saying anything. I thought, better to just let them shout into the abyss. But I do want to say, I find it sad and quite frankly pathetic to see grown women behaving this way,” Sarah tweeted.
      “I truly hope they find happiness elsewhere, and not in the form of putting down other WOC (women of colour). I would be embarrassed to behave this way. Peace and love to y’all.”

      Sarah Jeffery slammed Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs for their response to ‘Charmed’ reboot.
      Holly called Sarah’s claims “bulls**t” on her Twitter page and Rose weighed in on the controversy in a lengthy statement on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday night (October 14), writing: “Dear Sarah Jeffery, I honestly had no idea who you were til you tweeted. I have been too busy fighting monsters & fighting for a massive Cultural Reset to notice who’s in the reboot. Absolutely nothing to do with race, that’s quite a stretch you took. I’m beyond glad any WOC has a well paying job. Hell yes to that. I’m sure you are a great actress.”

      Rose, who played Paige Matthews in the original TV series about three witch sisters, continued: “My quibble (google it) is about execs & producers & @wb network trading on years of my work & name in such a cynical and obvious way – a money grab to cash in on the Charmed name. I do not care that they remade it, I have far bigger things I’m dealing with. I do not nor will I watch a show I disagree with on principle.”
      “This is not my ego trashing the reboot, this is a criticism of creators (those are the ones who should be embarrassed) with little to no imagination making bank off of years of us busting our a*s to create a legacy that you are actually profiting off of as well.”

      Rose McGowan hit back at Sarah Jeffery when offering clarification to her ‘Charmed’ comment.
      Concluding her post, Rose wrote that she wishes Hollywood would “stop making remakes that don’t need to be remade”.
      “It’s a formula that’s gone on for too long. Mediocrity rules there, not just sociopaths. There’s no soul or heart in something made purely for profit whilst refusing to elevate and innovate. Reboots will always be the shadow, the originals will always be the sun. I wish you well,” she finished.
      Sarah has yet to respond to Rose’s Instagram post.

      Holly Marie Combs Calls Sarah Jeffery 'Plain Wrong' Amid Feud Over 'Charmed' Reboot

      by

      Instagram

      The original cast member of ‘Charmed’ fires back at Sarah Jeffery for making ‘derogatory accusations of a person’s character’ just because of ‘a difference in opinions about a tv show.’
      Oct 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Holly Marie Combs has hit back at “Charmed” reboot actress Sarah Jeffery for the “derogatory” remarks she made about her “character.”
      The drama began during a recent TikTok event, when Rose McGowan – who starred alongside Holly and Alyssa Milano in the show about three witch sisters – took aim at the CW reboot, “The Charmed Ones”, which stars Sarah as Maggie Vega.
      Rose’s comments that the revival “sucks” while Holly failed to hold back her laughter, prompting Sarah to slam the actresses for their behaviour as she wrote on Twitter, “You know, I saw this earlier and I refrained from saying anything. I thought, better to just let them shout into the abyss. But I do want to say, I find it sad and quite frankly pathetic to see grown women behaving this way.”
      “I truly hope they find happiness elsewhere, and not in the form of putting down other WOC (women of colour). I would be embarrassed to behave this way. Peace and love to y’all.”

      Holly then responded via her own Twitter page although she didn’t refer to Sarah by name.
      Instead, she wrote, “That’s some bulls**t. And a lot of it. Clearly. People speaking, excuse me typing, derogatory accusations of a person’s character despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary because of a difference in opinions about a tv show is just plain wrong.”
      “And also personal gain honey,” Holly concluded, referring to the fact that the sisters in “Charmed” were prevented from casting any spell that was for their own personal gain.
      Sarah has yet to respond to Holly’s latest tweet.

      Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs Called 'Pathetic' by 'Charmed' Reboot Star

      Sarah Jeffery who stars in the new ‘Charmed’ series has fired back at the two original cast members over their negative attitude towards the Netflix reboot.
      Oct 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Sarah Jeffery has slammed Holly Marie Combs and Rose McGowan for their “embarrassing” attitudes towards the reboot of their show “Charmed”.
      During a recent TikTok event, Holly and Rose – who starred alongside Alyssa Milano in the show about three witch sisters – took aim at the CW reboot, which stars Sarah as Maggie Vega.
      “It sucks,” Rose said, before admitting she hasn’t actually seen the show. “I’m glad people have jobs. But it sucks.”
      While Holly stayed silent, she failed to hold back her laughter about Rose’s comments.

      And addressing the TikTok video, Sarah took to Twitter to slam the actresses for their behaviour as she said, “You know, I saw this earlier and I refrained from saying anything. I thought, better to just let them shout into the abyss. But I do want to say, I find it sad and quite frankly pathetic to see grown women behaving this way.”
      “I truly hope they find happiness elsewhere, and not in the form of putting down other WOC (women of colour). I would be embarrassed to behave this way. Peace and love to y’all.”
      Initially, Rose McGowan was not so negative when the reboot was first announced. In 2018, she said, “I wish nothing but the best for the new female actors whose careers hopefully will be launched by this show into something long and prosperous.”
      McGowan changed her tune after Netflix pulled off the original show and replaced it with the new one. “You search for [the show on Netflix], they want you to find the new Charmed and not the old people,” so Holly Marie Combs assumed.
      Unlike McGowan, Combs has always been against the reboot. “Until you ask us to rewrite it like Brad Kern did weekly don’t even think of capitalizing on our hard work,” she tweeted in 2018. “Charmed belongs to the 4 of us, our vast amount of writers, crews, and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye.”
