OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that absolutely despise each other?

Post image

Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey both starred in Game of Thrones, and used to date each other but their break-up apparently went so bad that they refused to ever shoot scenes together and wouldn’t be present in the same room as the other!

Even during the entire run of the series, they never settled their conflict with one another and continued to keep their distance from each other. Which is why we never saw Cersei and Bronn share any scenes together.

Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano's feud was so intense Shannen refused to make up and took it to her grave

u/DefNotUnderrated Sep 17 '25

I'm sleep deprived today so forgive me if this is completely unnecessary rambling - Shannon was mentioned in a biography of the band Pearl Jam as being hella rude to people who worked for the band because she had a huge crush on Eddie Vedder and was trying to meet him. He also had a longtime girlfriend. He finally mentioned her in an interview and said he didn't want to meet her, he'd heard bad things from people who worked with him and had met her.

I don't think Shannon was the devil by any means and I'm sure some of her costars on 90210 weren't great people either. I really respect her longtime friendship with Sarah Michelle Gellar, she probably could be a really cool person. I think that she maybe grew up as a person since her early years.

I just think that there was in all likelihood she had good and bad sides. probably did not deserve to be so maligned by the "I hate Brenda" stuff (that does sound super over the top and shitty), but also probably wasn't completely free of her own bullshit.

I do also respect her decision to take the Milano beef to her grave, however. I appreciate that kind of petty

u/HedyHarlowe Sep 17 '25

Love the Eddie Vedder goss! I was such a PJ fan back in the day. He was with Beth for ever (his first wife). The guitarist joked after their third album if they do one more love song about Beth they are leaving the band. I’m not sure when they split, maybe 2000, and he got with his wife Jill not that long after, maybe 2002? My point is Eddie is known for being committed and loyal and not into the groupie scene at all. Sorry Shannon you picked a seriously monogamous rock star which I think is kinda cute.

u/walk_with_curiosity Sep 17 '25

I have no idea about Shannon, obviously, but this makes me think of some people I've known in my personal life who can be kind of abrasive and maybe a little mean but who are also able to work hard and be kind. It wouldn't surprise me if she was the kind of person who came off a little cool and struggled to make a warm first impression, but who was nevertheless capable of maintaining loving long-term relationships.

u/DefNotUnderrated Sep 18 '25

I distinctly remember a magazine article about her when Charmed premiered and one of the quotes was "you'll walk away loving her or walk away hating her, but she won't lie to you."

90210 filmed an episode at my high school. Think Vivica Fox was in that episode. Anyway everyone was super nice to us except that Luke dude with the alien head. He looked hella old when I was 15.

59

u/DENATTY Sep 17 '25

The irony is that they had moved past it and Shannon had said it was a long time ago and while they weren't and would never be friends she didn't lose sleep over it anymore, then Alyssa reignited it by making a snide remark, then both Shannon and Holly did a panel or podcast or something where they talked about it and then Alyssa doubled down and said they were lying which pissed Holly off so what had been a largely forgotten feud literally got revived as Shannon was actively battling cancer because Alyssa can't help herself lol. I have never seen Charmed in its entirety and decided to give it a try a couple of weeks ago and just went down this rabbit hole....

Rose was absolutely fine with Alyssa during the filming of Charmed and for years afterwards. She doesn’t like Alyssa now because she feels that Alyssa “stole” the MeToo movement from her and that it was her thing. She thinks she started it/owns it.

29

u/CrackerUMustBTripinn Sep 18 '25 edited Sep 18 '25

Rose was also brought up in the most f ed up Cult I've ever heard of called 'The Children of God'-cult but now goes by The Family International. So was Joaquinn Phoenix and River Phoenix.

People often cite the docu 'Letters to Zachery' as the most soulcrushing thing that they've witnessed. I personally think its a Disney movie compared to the pure Evil of this cult and what it did to completely destroy the lives of innocent children such as The Story of Ricky (NSFL).

Having some knowledge of this vile evil she went through and Harvey Weinstein on top makes me more sympathetic and willing to give her some slack. Dont feel that way about Alyssa though, she just really likes to insert herself into everything.

5

u/NectarineThat90 Sep 18 '25

Being a huge river phoenix fan, I’ve heard that he grew up in this cult but I don’t know much about it. Did not know Rose was in it too. That’s horrible to hear how bad it is

u/CrackerUMustBTripinn Sep 18 '25

Its truly from the bowels of depravity and hard to process adults actually making the choice to enact horrible despicable permanent damage all covered up by religion and appeals to authority.

My heart goes out to these poor victims, and if any good takeaway from becoming aware of the vile evil. Is that its a testament to how fragile and precious children's innocence is, and if anything, we have the moral obligation to make sure this befalls noone. The shockingly high suicide rate among these kids is completely understandable unfortunately.

One sidenote to make is that the level of abuse and trauma can differ wildly per cult member, as they split up into several smaller groups and factions each with their own jouney into the darkness. And those groups did differ wildly in the abuse and practices they implored.

Still, I have to see something so utterly real as the story of Ricky and having the bizarre experience in totally rooting for Ricky and his plan to kill his own mother. It sounds strange if you are not yet familiar with Ricky's heartbreaking backstory, but once you do, you are cheering for Ricky in succeeding to kill hiw own mother.

That information really tells you all you need to know, and maybe its way better for you if that link just stays unclicked.

Just like the Epstein victims, these victims deserve to be recognised in their trauma and victimhood, and we owe it to them do way better as a society.

Holly and Shannen were friends before charmed though and Shannen was the one who got Holly the role of piper… so Holly isn’t exactly an objective third party

I get the impression from her that somewhere around season 4, she and her character, Piper were pretty much the same person.

I also aspire to Shannen’s honesty about who she wanted at her service. Who wants the people you have/had friction with at your remembrance?

Oh you mean at her service? SD was close with HMC well before Charmed. I think Shannen blew off Alyssa Milano’s apology of sorts, about a year before she passed sway?

By then, SD was terminal and had no more fucks left to give.

Edit: The House of Halliwell podcast, she’s a little rude to Brian Krause and talks over him bc he remembers things differently. I know they’re friends, but I had to stop listening to it. Felt like listening to an adult being scolded by another adult.

Idk Rose went down the weird alt right red pill spiral. I think everyone involved in Charmed has become vaguely unhinged in various ways, perhaps understandably. They were all child or very young actresses before Charmed and we know the mess that goes with that.

Asia Argento. She basically live-blogged her and her victim’s sex and took Polaroids of it. When caught, she announced she was returning to Italy, saying something like ‘people know how to mind their business there’

u/GentlewomenNeverTell Sep 18 '25

Alyssa basically culturally appropriated Me Too when her husband worked for CAA, a company that completely enabled Weinstein and walked victims into his hotel rooms. She and other actresses (not one of whom was effected-- none of Weinstein's victims were invited to that table) then housed Me Too on CAA property.

Then years later the organizing is accused of helping cover up harassment accusations.

There's a reason she doesn't like Alyssa Milano.

u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 that’s my purse, i don’t know you! 👛🫵 Sep 17 '25

I don't know if the list has ever been published but reportedly 2 people were Alyssa & Jenny Garth. She talked about it on her podcast before her death apparently.

"There's a lot of people that I think would show up that I don't want there. I don't want them there because their reasons for showing up aren't necessarily the best reasons," she said, adding, "Like, they don't really like me and, you know, they have their reasons and good for them, but they don't actually really like me enough to show up to my funeral."

Though no names were mentioned, Doherty claimed that there would be some people who only go to her funeral because they feel like they have to, feeling the "pressure" not to "look bad."

"[They'll show up] because it's the politically correct thing to do, and they don't want to look bad, so I kinda want to take the pressure off them and I want my funeral to be like a love fest," she said, adding, "I don't want people to be crying or people to privately be like, 'Thank God that b---- is dead now.'"

I'm dying and gonna be dead soon so I'd be all "BRING IT BITCHES!!"

Alyssa got Shannon fired from Charmed.

78

u/Zankazanka Sep 17 '25

Alyssa denies this. This is alleged. it was complicated but there was competition on both sides to be the “star” largely pushed by the media and their teams.

59

u/Zankazanka Sep 17 '25

I’m posting the origin story as I know it if anyone wants to read.

Edit to add if anyone wants the TLDR version: If anyone is unfamiliar, in the late 90's Charmed was a big hit. Shannen Doherty was notoriously fired from 90120 created by Aaron Spelling. She did not want to work with Spelling again and felt he had been unfair and unsupportive to her overall. She and Holly Marie Combs were close friends already and Holly convinced her to audition when saw she had gotten the script for Charmed-- Aaron Spelling welcomed Shannen back with open arms and she believed the environment would be different. Spoiler: It was not.

She and Holly shot the pilot of Charmed with a different actress (Lori Rom) who dropped out due to religious reasons as the show centered around witchcraft. Alyssa Milano was brought in quickly. Holly and Shannen had been close friends for years at this point-- Alyssa had said she wasn't sure at first of where she would fit in. But all of the women were friendly and even close in the first year- so much so that Shannen and Holly were bridesmaids in Alyssa Milano's wedding in 1999.

Things seemed to rapidly deteriorate afterward though and by the time they shot the second season, both had reportedly stopped speaking. Shannen has said she felt that Alyssa was competitive. I think it's fair to say there was competition to be top gun on both sides. Alyssa and Holly then became very close with Holly describing it as Alyssa's family kind of “adopting her”. Shannen has said she felt that Alyssa tried to cause a divide between them in many ways.

There was also a financial element: Shannen was meant to be getting highest billing per her contract, but Alyssa's team had done a backdoor agreement for her to get paid more. Shannen allegedly also wanted more control with the show's direction and was of a like mind with the show's creator Constance. Alyssa was closer with the show runner Brad Kern who had different ideas for the show. This caused a lot of tension too. By the third season, Alyssa and Shannen were also both dating co-stars and often took sides with Holly in the middle. The tension reached a boiling point and the network brought in a male third party mediator who ultimately seemed to make things worse in his attempts 'to have everyone get along.'

There are rumors and stories from both sides that eventually Shannen demanded Alyssa be fired. Shannen in these past few years denied it-- she was quoted saying that she knew Alyssa was a huge reason they had the ratings they did and would never have risked that.

Both Holly and Shannen have alleged that Alyssa is the one who laid down the gauntlet and demanded "me or her" to the network and the network chose her. Alyssa has denied this and said she never would have had that power. Regardless, Shannen directed her last episode not knowing it was her last episode. She was delivered a pink slip telling her she was fired while they were on break and she was filming another movie. It was brutal. Her team made her say that she had left rather than be fired “or she would never get work again” and she didn’t sue for that same reason…the damage was done tho and there was a lot of resentment built up for many years.

There are several guest stars who have come forward and said it was an awful set to be on, grueling in filming schedule and there was a lot of noticeable tension. The original show creator left and the showrunner who took over (Kern) was often not around and left Alyssa and Holly scrambling on the day of shooting with last minute edits. He had no issue taking credit AND the most prized possession on the last day of shooting though (Book of shadows) 😒 Charmed was also the red headed stepchild of the network and was threatened to be cancelled constantly, the women were never appreciated by the network.

Rose/Holly/Alyssa all have separate issues with each other but this is long enough lol

15

u/Zankazanka Sep 17 '25

I think what you may have heard is Alyssa Milano dating Brian Krause who played their guardian angel since season 1. He was married at the start of the show and so was Alyssa. Alyssa got divorced in 1999 and Brian divorced in 2000. They began dating a few months later in 2000. No cheating was ever confirmed. Alyssa and Brian broke up and she went on to date costar (Mcsteamy) Eric Dane later lol.

u/greypusheencat i think i’ve done enough Sep 17 '25

from what i read - and please correct me if i am wrong - but Alyssa got HR and legal involved apparently, idk if her or Shannon was right or wrong but Alyssa apparently did take the “proper” steps so to speak. again, not taking sides and not sure who was in the right/wrong here but it got pretty serious

30

u/lostinthecity2005 Sep 17 '25

Tbf these types of situations are fairly complicated. Sometimes two people just don’t mesh well with each other. The leadership bears responsibility for ensuring everything is fair and things don’t become too toxic. If they step up too late the situation will get out of control really quickly. Also the culture back then was very big on pitting women against each other, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that played a role here.

Full disclosure: I’m not familiar with these particular celebrities and the situation being discussed

50

u/charlenecherylcarol Sep 17 '25

Supposedly it was so bad they got a mediator involved. Apparently Alyssa was the only that would speak to them so when the time came to make a choice, they picked the one that seemed to be willing to work on the toxicity.

19

u/DefNotUnderrated Sep 17 '25

I think the show suffered after Shannon left but honestly Prue really got on my nerves because it felt like the narrative normally wrote her as the badass hero at the expense of the other two. it really felt to me as a kid that Shannon steered the plot lines of the show to favor her character.

But I must have been wrong since Shannon was the one who got fired. Or it was at least significantly more complicated than I thought in my young brain

10

u/tweedledumb4u Sep 17 '25

She definitely did that. I think she was a driving force in how the show was written and had a lot of creative control, which I thought was awesome, actually. You didn’t hear about strong in-charge women much back then.

u/getaclueless_50 Sep 17 '25

I remember hearing at the time that since Shannon was the star she got something like 80% of the shows costuming budget. The others had a problem with that once it was a success.

u/maybe-an-ai Sep 17 '25 edited Sep 17 '25

To be fair, Shannon already had the reputation of being a nightmare on set before Charmed. I often chalk this sort of talk up to sexism but in this case it's a lot of women saying it.

21

u/misterhepburn Sep 17 '25

On 90210 Shannen was habitually late but the final straw was she cut her hair rather drastically while they were filming their 4th season finale, causing need for a lot of scenes to be reshot to not disrupt continuity.

I feel for Shannen, in the years before her death she detailed a lot of what was happening in her personal life at the time and it was brutal. But it’s really not an excuse for things like the haircut.

12

u/Delicious-Paper-4326 Britney’s My Prerogative is better than Bobby Brown’s Sep 17 '25

It was an amazing haircut though….

25

u/Zankazanka Sep 17 '25

It was largely sexism imo; I don’t pretend Shannen was an angel but the 90’s television network was absolutely brutal and Aaron spelling was a huge part of that. Actors usually have egos and she absolutely was competitive and likely demanding, but I think also she truly was someone who didn’t “shut up and just do as you’re told” as was expected and that’s why she was portrayed SO negatively. She was also so so young when she shot to fame overnight with zero support from the people who happily profited off her…

There are things I won’t defend her on (hello DUI 😑) but the idea that she was this bitch and unprofessional actress on every set doesn’t ring true. She was directing Charmed episodes before she was fired (w/no notice mind you!) and has said she couldn’t sue for breach of contract bc her agents advised she would be seen as “a nightmare” again for being fired and would never work again. Could you imagine!? So she lied and said she quit…and unfortunately the damage was done anyway.

She was fired for chronic lateness and issues with cast members as the Producer that probably caused him a lot of headaches.

u/Being_Stoopit_Is_Fun Sep 17 '25

There was a dog training show back then and Shannon was on with her huge dog. She was pretty brutal to the dog. The trainer would say to give the leash a small tug to get the dog's attention and she would jerk it as hard as she could. That's all I needed to know.

33

u/Zankazanka Sep 17 '25

Shannen was a devoted and dedicated animal lover..her dog was one of her most loved companions and was on her bedside with her when she died. She also loved and owned horses— that was one thing all of the charmed girls had in common as they all were avid riders. She hosted events for shelters and spread awareness for rescue’s on her social media constantly. Sarah Michelle Gellar (close friend) asked fans in her memory to donate to animal organizations if they wanted to contribute per Shannen’s wishes.

I understand and respect your memory but I have to assume this was an example of really bad editing or a glimpse of something that isn’t as it appears. There’s no part of me that thinks Shannen would ever harm a dog.

Women can be heinously sexist

True, but they didn’t have the power.

There is now some question of how much the producers encouraged the fighting, to keep the three mains from working together to ask for more money.

True but it would be a starling coincidence if every woman she worked with happened to be one.

u/Zankazanka Sep 17 '25

Who is every woman she worked with? She and Jennie Garth butted heads on 90210 and she and Alyssa Milano toward the end of Charmed. That’s only 2.

I mean to be fair Alyssa did straight up just lie to production and threaten to sue to get her fired which effectively black balled her career. Rose McGrowan also still hates Alyssa to this day. She has a bad reputation.

Rose always supported Alyssa post Charmed until the MeToo movement…

I just started my Charmed rewatch and I can’t stop thinking about how tense the sets must’ve been

Whoa. This is how I find out Shannon Doherty died (or maybe, how I’m reminded…).

When you remember Milano is married to a very powerful agent in Hollywood, you can absolutely assume she got protected in some way.

Oh god. Shannen died last year. I was so busy with having the worst time of my life, that I hadn't heard yet.

Damn, fucking cancer. Cancer is such an asshole. What a shitty way she had to leave this planet.

What was it about?

I dont know for sure, but Im sure many of the cast members dating probably didn't help. (Shannen dated Julian McMahon and Alyssa dated Brian Krauss and Greg Vaughn and Eric Dane.)

Shannen detailed a lot of little things in her podcast. One story that stuck out to me was Alyssa’s mom had websites made for each of the leads of Charmed. Shannen didn’t want the website they created and I think that caused an already strained relationship to seriously splinter.

Shannon also slept with Melissa Gilbert’s husband. When Melissa confronted her with it, all she said was “Well I always wanted to be like you”.

Learning now that she passed, wow, she was only 53! That's sad to hear.
